The internet won the election

Australian journalists still predicting a Labor minority aren't connecting the dots The Trump tariffs will strongly boost Albo's popularity and make the election about Dutton's danger Dutton will sink with Trump. Teals will take more Lib seats Labor majority is most likely #auspol

The Voices groups share a largely unified agenda as they tackle the macro issues the duopoly won't. Having a face for that agenda has been pivotal for traction. Occupy and the Voice failed because they ignored our primate need for a leader. It's utopian and it fails. My 2c. The book sounds good!

Good interview. One thing I think about though - we're hierarchical primates. Holmes a Court is an ideal figurehead. He generates wide media coverage, is persuasive, powerful, and principled. His press club speech was great. Look at Occupy Wall Street and the Voice. Movements without a leader fail

More likely, a civil case by a minority shareholder against Musk for breaching his fiduciary duty as CEO and causing them to take a loss. And that becoming a class action for unthinkable money. Musk and the board seem to have clearly breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders

If Labor has any communication skills at all, they will blanket this Medicare election with the fact that Dutton was ranked the worst Health minister in 35 years by Australia's doctors Labor needs to run this fact everywhere in slick ads for months #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Peter Dutton ranked as worst health minister in 35 years in poll of doctors

First election thoughts: - Labor can't communicate well and misunderstands the public - Labor has ignored the severe issues (housing crisis, cost of living, corporate price gouging) - The public loathes Dutton and thinks Albanese is a weak coward - Teals and indies are pivotal #auspol

The Age's daily vendetta against Labor deserves a daily commentary It's never-ending, facile, and utterly bitchy by The Age's Liberal Party fluffers Government spending on a newspaper's rapidly growing home state should be celebrated, not constantly attacked #auspol

It will be groups like the teals, Get Up and the Australia Institute that run effective Dutton = Trump campaigns. I agree that Labor will be pragmatically somewhat more restrained, but the effective messaging will proliferate without them

Election prediction: Trump will have caused so much chaos and destruction in America by the time of the Australian election that Dutton will be sunk by gluing himself to Trump Add in one or two rate cuts and an effective Dutton=Trump ad campaign, and Labor will win a slim majority govt #auspol
