I like vexillology and I also happen to have somewhat strongly held political stances. Grateful to be Australian. But I want to make this country better, so I can say I'm proud to be Australian 💚💛 they/them

Wow... Farage has somehow managed to make himself even more of a waste of time and resources

South Australian election AND the #Matildas in the Asia Women's Cup finals to watch on Saturday night! Football/Soccer matches usually less than 2 hours. I have a feeling that the SA election will be called in a similar amount of time... #SAVotes #SApol #AusPol #WACAUS2026 #WAC2026

(1/3) After following the Tassie election, I wondered what the ACT Parliament would look like with 7-member electorates, like Tasmania, instead of the current 5-member ones, so I tried punching the numbers, and here's what I got: 🔴 ALP 13 🔵 LIB 13 🟢 GRN 5 ⚫️ IFC 3 🟠 FCI 1 #actpol #auspol

There's a very low bar at the moment, but this could be the stupidest take on anything ever. #Auspol

“What the hell just happened?” wasn’t the triumphant song of the contest, but it was the defining slogan #Eurovision

The size of the Israeli campaign this year is a direct proof of one thing - Israel should no longer be part of EBU. Israel doesn't have free media, their broadcaster is a part of propaganda, and they're not eligible for Eurovision. They're putting every single artist between a rock and a hard place.

Mfw when you join a far-right party and then get perceived as far-right and everything else that entails 😱 #AusPol #SAPol #OneNation

Thrilled beyond words that #Iceland and #SanMarino qualified for the final at #Eurovision! I'll admit I wasn't the biggest fan of either at first but they've become some of my favourites this year, especially VÆB, they're so lovable and positive. 🇮🇸🇸🇲

If you paid any tax in 2022-23, you paid more than all of these multinational gas corporations did on $36 BILLION income, exporting Australian gas from QLD. Really makes you think. #auspol

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Yes, stances are ethical. But if we want change, ethical stances must have power. That is political. One can be right and criticize others who aren’t, sure. And that is important. But then what? How do we flourish? We need to help the right thing win, and good people build. Electoral or not
