Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 12/08/2026We had Simon Watts speak to us on Tuesday, I’d say from the group discussion after they are rusted on blue. They do not want to vote ACT and think Winston’s lost the plot. Luxon is a side show to them being blue. 000
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Libs can’t take Govt without OneNation based on polls. Very sad situation. 011

Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 13/07/2026#RIPSamNeill you were an inspiration and a wonderful person. 010
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I assume you don’t mean the $26m donated to charities. I wondered if that matched the wedding cost? 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 12/06/2026There’s a white out going on at Geelong. Whole stadium to be in white and scare the opposition. Some American football tradition apparently 120
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 08/06/2026They’ve been doing it for years on the North Shore. Simon Watts makes empty promises but the deep blue of the Shore does not care 010
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Also led to suicides & more deaths shortly after receiving notices. Not just about the $ 130
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 10/05/2026A real difference between being a first class civil servant and leading a country. Lawyers tend to be dull with words and lack emotion. Inability to display passion and leadership. 120
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 30/04/2026We should note this is just large donations. Labour raised over $300k in March with the match it donations. 030
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Shipping delays? Surprised it’s got so big but maybe delays at moment, shipping schedule doesn’t disclose anything soon. Love those photos please keep them coming. 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Those ships delivering alumina and taking away aluminium? I feel nostalgic for my job seeing those photos. 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Had to update and then log in with a verification code. It was ridiculous 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Yes. This theory that competition drives prices down doesn’t work particularly in this market. Done some work for smelters & energy companies. Very big business. I must see what Labours offering. Just read the Greens policy, hmm lots of statements which will take decades to achieve. 120
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Yep. Why the last price bid sets the price is ridiculous, network pricing is a scam. Victoria have started a new retailer to sell to consumers & small bus. Main reform there is solar. Woods needs to lose the portfolio as she had the power to reform but got tricked by vested interests. 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/04/2026en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zea...en.wikipedia.orgNew Zealand electricity market - Wikipedia 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Actually it won’t unless you reform the “market”. It’s that which causes the problem, need to go old fashioned PPAs with a net market. The poles & wires companies need to be reformed like the UK does 210
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Should just leave to spend more time with his family he loves to talk about, do the grocery shopping and learn humility. Winston could step in as no one suitable in the Nats 141
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Done and yep including the update I sent. Will send to the youngsters 010
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Enjoying free public transport to the MCG today. Thanks Labor. 000
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Your post was simply ageist. Everytime you say oh mum dad aunty uncle you’re stupid follow me. Just pathetic. We have brains been hai g them for years. Who fought for equal pay, no fault divorce, nuclear free etc etc. 000
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Pretty ageist post assuming all over 50 vote right wing. 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Just visiting Ribbon Rose to look is also amazing. Confess to currently having wool from Temu 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Thought you’d still be basking in the glow of the 🐶 win 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Find out who’s called Turnbull or Morrison to ask for advice on how it’s done. 120
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Yeah but for those of us who lived in Aus during the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd & Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison changes it’s easy to di. Another night of the long knives coming up 010
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Only been asked by BlueSky when I went to Aus. No other platform. They use various protocols to determine age. 000
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I’d mute them first so their posts don’t turn up in your feed, not worth the angst. 010
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 25/02/2026And the vicious comments on Dr Verralls posts. It’s like the same vile peeps every time, the comments on her looks and never the ideas. I hope she doesn’t read them. 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 23/02/2026He’s my MP. He does not care. Ask him what he did on the anniversary weekend floods? Thank goodness for our local Councillors and Board because he was MIA 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Hmm the key issue was the holes in the voting cards. Court disallowed many sadly. Said it wasn’t clear who they voted for. 000
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 19/02/2026? For you. Our area needed a law change, flood prone area where intensification would make it worse but near the busway. We are not on Councils list til 2040, already dangerous flooding last year. Have they allowed Council to exempt areas like ours? 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 09/02/2026I don’t think current Govt would pass it under urgency which is the only way to get new laws before the election. 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 09/02/2026As a lawyer who’s practiced in both jurisdictions it would not be hard, each State has its own laws so ours would be left in tact except for some which States have ceded to Cth. Similar laws would be ceded and those great employment laws would benefit us greatly as an example. 310
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Yes and I’ve been to a few meetings and spoken to her. She was warm and friendly and answered my questions. She’s a good listener. Expect like many women in that space she is a bit wary. Supported a candidate in 2017 who was stalked it was awful. 130
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 08/02/2026However you have to be careful debating anything because you get banned. But Ayesha Verrall needs a lot of support against the blatant misogyny 140
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Just checked and it says 46 for Melbourne! Hope you can stay home 110
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Did you read that the reason it’s not higher is price of toys and electronics has gone down. Price of food that we produce has escalated 120
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Thank you and Happy New Year to you. Yep haven’t been the best recently but hopefully settling now with the help of a new Dr. Important to find one that listens. How are you? 100
Joy Hooker @joykh.bsky.social · 18/01/2026The damage they’ve done already will be impossible to fix in the next term. 010
