Just tuned in to

for the latest shouting match. Incredible. Bronwyn Bishop is arguing that Libs should try to steal elections in the future by changing the system and throwing out preferential voting. It’s like the US republicans - if we can’t win, rig the rules.

Thank goodness for some sense from

@abccanberra

tv tonight. Finally saying what was obvious last night. @pocockdavid can’t lose from here. Far too many progressive preference flows. The Canberra Liberals have to return back to a more progressive future as they rebuild.

May 22

It’s not getting much coverage but we’ve got a huge right wing vote in the northern rivers that could mean prefs flow to the discredited local Nats candidate pushing them above the ALP, leading to Labor preferences electing

@mandy_4richmond

and giving the Greens another seat.

Not a good election for

Pretty clear that Australians are saying that we expect the next term of government to act ambitiously on climate!

Andrew Constance, strongest voice in the modern Liberal party on the need for climate action, bucks the trend. #climateelection

No doubt this was a #climateelection - Please RT. Let’s spread the word!

Senator Pocock will be making the trip to Capital Hill when the parliament next sits. Congratulations @pocockdavid - I’ll call it first!

The atmosphere in Richmond all week has been getting increasingly desperate amongst the ALP team. Story went untold in the media. I expect Justine will get strong preference flows from the Nats but the Greens will win this seat - just a question on whether it’s now or in future

When Labor is competitive in Sturt I don’t see how they don’t form government (at least in minority) from here.

The next leader of the Liberal party (which won’t be Scott Morrison) will have to back bold and decisive action on climate change. In the wash it will be clear that gone is the period in Aus history where a path to gov can be found without backing climate action.

One thing to remember about this election is that we’ve never seen a greater percentage of the population enrolled to vote. Young people in particular got involved in record numbers. #AusPol2022

This is what happens when the public wake up to the climate crisis. The only clear takeaway so far tonight is the public want climate action and they’ll look across the ballot papers to find it. #AusPol2022

(New from me): Mike Cannon-Brookes buys up AGL shares in bid to block energy giant’s demerger

AGL says it’s determined to go ahead with the merger despite the purchase, which has made Cannon-Brookes the company’s largest single shareholder

If merit based selection has failed to allow people of merit to cut through the biased and corrupt system, then surely there’s merit in trying something different like quotas in conservative political parties. #nationalpressclub

Godfather of Australian Science Warns Government | Media Release | Climate Council

FACT CHECK: Bushfires and Climate are definitively linked. Matt Canavan is simply wrong #qanda

AFTER ISSUING the first-ever warning 30 years ago, Australia’s godfather of climate and bushfire science has today sounded the alarm about not listening to the science on climate change. Dr Tom Beer...

Defending the fossil fuel industry today is like defending big tobacco a decade ago #qanda

If a climate scientist was on the panel they’d let us know that the first study linking bushfires to climate was in the 80s! #qanda

Business, farmers and the vast majority of Australians want action. #qanda

This panel is missing the voice of a climate scientist #qanda

We need to get to 75% reductions by 2030. We can’t wait for government. We all need to step up. #qanda

Great to see

using his voice of reason for climate action. #qanda

6am in parts of the US and given the strong postal/early voting for Biden, he should win from here. Fingers crossed it all falls into place quickly from here.

Former Westpac CEO Brian Hartzer and former GetUp! director and activist Simon Sheikh have emerged as an unlikely pair of investors in Sydney-based Pathzero.

One of the key lessons from #ACTVotes2020 is that the decade old far right/young liberal takeover of the ACT Libs has totally failed. This party has been captured at the branch level for far too long.
