Finally, one state in one western liberal democracy has woken up. Congratulations to Democrats for turning up 20 years late, but finally doing so... Australia still has it's head in the sand and will ultimately reap what it sews #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social

This is great, but I really wish we were looking beyond just Sydney

There are other cities in NSW that could be 3-10x bigger before they started getting crowded

It's always Melbourne because we insist on being a liberal city - not a conservative one.

The LNP are now using the same rhetoric as Donald Trump: claiming that crime is out of control in certain cities. If they are elected, there is little doubt we would see the military deployed to these cities.

They are at Sydney Uni. Very serious people, but I don't know who their pollster is. Just making the point that the national psyche has always braced 'powerful friend diplomacy' - and I don't see it changing until the globe is truly multipolar and our population doubles.

Australia's first post-comonial Treaty with the original people's and the Anglican Church collapsing on the same day ♥️ #Empires #Auspol

As the first Treaty makes its way through the Victorian parliament, this is a historic moment for us all.

With the votes of our @victoriangreens.bsky.social colleagues, this Treaty legislation will pass.

Pretty sure when One Nation got 22.7% of the vote they only had one lower house seat. Pauline Hanson's.
It's a big call getting all those nutters together in one seat.

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate
The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.
