So, having given it some (maybe too much) thought, it is farewell (at least for now). /5

The final straw came with @kudelka.bsky.social - someone with a zillion followers - who mockingly reposted me (and lots of others with similar views, too), called me a delusional cult member when I objected and then blocked me. A great talent but a small mind - what a nasty person he is! /4

What I’ve encountered here, though, is a lot of intolerance and some just plain meanness. I’ve been insulted and blocked for holding marginally different views to others (no, I will not vote for an indie in the Reps without transparency on minority govt support, and Greens have disappointed). /3

I don’t agree with everyone, nor do I expect everyone to agree with me. I enjoy banter and debate and am always interested in, and curious to hear about, others’ views, even if they don’t align with mine. /2

Not sure yet whether this will be a break or departure from @bluesky - feeling very disillusioned right now. Thought this would be a great platform to express myself on #auspol and social/health policy, and have reconnected with many from X, and found others to follow and who have followed me. /1

Maybe they’ll learn from that and elect a new leader who will change that direction, negotiate constructively and win amendments to improve legislation.

Hartcher wants Marles to be as effective a Defence Minister as he is a hatchet man. Suspect his talent is building and wielding his own - not national - power! #Insiders #auspol

There seems to be an internal contradiction in accusing a person critical of a political party you believe in of being deluded and belonging to a cult?

True. The Greens federally seem to have decided to compete with Labor and put the perfect in the way of the good. Their decision on who will lead them from here will tell us which way they mean to go.

#Auspol With the Greens being required to pass Legislation ( unless Labor do deals with the Coalition ). Labor and the Greens should work very hard at passing Legislation with little Drama. Thr Greens have a chance to rebuild confidence in them if they are seen to respect Labors mandate.

Starmer’s ‘nothing’ deal with Trump is a warning sign for Albanese This is a list of concessions more than a trade deal, and one in which the UK is still subject to billions worth of tariffs that didn’t exist last year. #auspol

Starmer’s ‘nothing’ deal with Trump is a warning sign for Albanese

Both leaders claimed a much-needed political win. Given the Trump administration’s desire to keep most tariffs in place, that might be all that’s up for grabs.

Marles is all about building his power base. If positions were decided on talent, rather than numbers, perhaps he’d be for the chopping block, instead of Dreyfus and Husic. #auspol

Price believes she’s going to save the Liberal Party. Clearly doesn’t get that her divisive, combative and right wing politics were part of the problem. The Libs ignored the 2022 election postmortem. With Price taking a leadership role, will they do the same in 2025? #auspol

There was an interesting piece in @aunz.theconversation.com recently, if you can find it, highlighting the seats in the last election where informal votes exceeded the winning margin, and the reasons why. Only a small proportion were deliberate.

The Greens were elected to negotiate better outcomes. Instead, they obstructed until the 11th hour and then let everything through. Yet, they still want to blame preferences (in a preferential voting system). #AfternoonBriefing #auspol #AusVotes25

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but the Greens should take a leaf out of Peter Dutton’s book and show some dignity in defeat. Whining about preferential voting - a cornerstone of fair representation in Australia - because it's not going their way, is a very bad look. #auspol

Sounds credible, given the Coalition went to the election with so few policies, and almost none that were actually costed! The few they had were either “tweaked” or dumped along the way.

Tammy Wolffs @tammy-w.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Howard started clearing “small l” Liberals out and his push was taken up more exuberantly by subsequent leaders. Those remaining were vulnerable to teal independents who would once have found a place in the Liberal Party. #auspol

Yes, a vote resulting from the double whammy of Pocock being well liked and respected and Canberrans despising Liberals as much as Liberals despise us! #auspol

Seismic. Not a single mainstream media outlet predicted or supported this result. From the Guardian & ABC to Sky News. Roy Morgan polling closest to nailing it, months ago, and they were dismissed as "outliers".... #auspol

Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.
