Australia will likely produce a Labor minority gvt...with support from independent and possibly Greens MPs. This is an optimal outcome in terms of climate action and equity issues.
The metro Melbourne and Sydney seats will (as they so often do) have a decisive influence on the overall result.
I just cannot see the Australian electorate embracing Dutton.

Dutton's racism is even a step too far for Ruddock... bloody Ruddock!
A nuclear reactor for Dickson? Peter Dutton suspects Teals & Greens disguised in radiation suits conspired to interrupt his press conference earlier today. #ausvotes
To label journalists as "activists" & list organisations as "hate media", what questions from the media has Peter Dutton taken issue with? #ausvotes
Did Peter Dutton answer correctly with 2.7% on the question of the current inflation rate? At its website the RBA displays annual CPI at 2.4% & monthly of 2.4%. The ABS has monthly CPI at 2.4%, excluding volatile items & travel at 2.7% & annual trimmed mean of 2.7%. #ausvotes

Canada, congratulations!
Canada has voted to give the Liberals a fourth consecutive term. I think it's an endorsement of Mark Carney's leadership. It also shows strong voter disapproval for Pierre Poilievre’s alarmingly extremist views. I hope Pierre Poilievre loses his riding, Carleton, where tally results are starting to arrive: CON 38.6%, LIB 58.6%.
Canada says "No" to Trumpism!
Australia, it's our turn next!

@NickSchwanck @trib thanks. I’ve had enough. It’s time to spam him back.
#Police #TrackerDogs were used to find a woman who vandalised #Dutton's office, police said.
Ah yes. We’re forever seeing tracker dogs being used to find vandals.

@gunstone nope, we have the most rock solid democracy in a world with only 21 true democracies left, so pride is a good thing to have in our system.
An independent AEC, STV, and compulsory voting make all this possible, and we need to remind people of this every time they think about changing any one of them!
Yes, we can improve things, that's part of life, but as far as this planet goes, it's the best system around
Peter Dutton failed to declare he was a beneficiary of the family trust running childcare businesses 2014-16. The full extent of the childcare deals between Dutton & Eddy Groves goes back two decades. The collapse of ABC Learning led to a $56m government bailout. #ausvotes
#auspol #ausvotes You can plainly see where #Dutton gets his talking points. #TemuTrump
Trump is demanding that DOGE investigate polls after his favorability numbers tanked so badly that even Fox News couldn’t spin them to look good. He’s calling it all “fraud.” Seems like a very “efficient” use of tax dollars.

I would trade having a sausage sizzle at my polling place for guaranteed absence of campaigners from any political party. People should be able to go vote without having to run the gauntlet of campaigners. Stressful enough in general for many people but especially when communities a voter might belong to or care about are under attack from some of the parties.
Campaigners at polling places are completely unnecessary too. Voters should have made up their minds before they arrive and if for some reason they haven’t they can easily get info on their phone
