Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 31/07/2026REALLY interesting to see how some Liberal supporters post differently on Blue Sky and Twitter. There’s one poster in particular who pretends on this to be neutral, but on X, it’s pretty obvious Liberal support. The hypocrisy, it sizzles. She would deny it, of course. 160

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I heard more about Jacinta Allan and learned more about her today than I did throughout her whole term as Premier. I don't know if Vic Labor or the media are to blame for the way she was framed as leader, but she sounds like a gutsy fighter to me. Came across as a bland machine person before. 251
Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026What these pieces from Victorian universities continue to show is that there's a lack of perspective - they are written from such a narrow lens in this state. What this one lacks is the notion that female leaders never get a fair run from media outlets or the public. Just look at the history. 031

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I don’t agree with Tomalaris here.
