@mark16pg Given that Labor were ahead on primaries in 86 seats it's very likely they would have won almost all the seats they won under FPP. Did you not even notice that in UK 2024 (FPTP) Labour won 411/650 seats off 33.7% of the vote?

Watch @EdwardJDavey call for an inquiry into Russian interference & Starmer call Reform ‘Putin-friendly’. So *why* is he still refusing to have this inquiry that Intelligence & Security said is *essential* for our national security? https://t.co/pqWqlecQIL

There’s no excuse for the Federal Government’s refusal to ban gambling adverting. Shameful that they don’t care about the harm of gambling addiction, and are scared stiff of the gambling & media companies and of the AFL & NRL #auspol #politas

We know Kremlin agent of influence Nadia Sass considered Nigel Farage her ‘good friend’…because she told us. She cultivated far right political leaders & her social media was key part of her tradecraft. New in @thenerve_news today are the details 4/ https://t.co/bDzxdxRVO6
