exactly 1 year since #KooyongIndependents launched their search for the perfect candidate… and found what they were looking for in @Mon4Kooyong.

how it started: how it's going:
the day that advertisement ran in @theage and the @FinancialReview, frydenberg acolyte #TimSmithMP got pickled early in the evening, drove his jaguar into a house (still not fixed!) and blew 0.131 BAC.

coincidence?

ha! apologies to @AnnCapling — she sent me that great photo of @Mon4Kooyong and… great minds think alike!

⚠️ Do you know anyone who tested positive for COVID between Saturday and Tuesday 6pm? 🦠

Unless they have already voted or applied for a postal vote before now, they won’t be able to vote at all.

This is a major problem. 🧵

Here’s the story. If you tested positive for COVID you have to isolate for 7 days. Which means not voting in person.

So the @AusElectoralCom has helpfully set up phone voting for this election, so if you test positive today you’ll still be able to vote.

So far, so good…
BUT the @AusElectoralCom only offers phone voting to people who tested positive after Tuesday 6pm.

Anyone who tested positive between Saturday and Tuesday 6pm and hasn't applied for a postal vote… can’t vote.

I had a call from a @JoshFrydenberg volunteer tonight asking me what Josh could do better? I started with the destruction of the only University in his electorate with the border closures denying us students, the lack of job-keeper (despite Crown "cashing in"). A thread 1/N
I then moved onto how government money tends to get pseudo-randomly allocated without any tender or due process - like to Lark with its 12 employees getting 4.5M thread 2/N
Then I moved onto refugees, and how they are used as political footballs, how they are people, and how they shouldn't be locked up forever. 3/N - at this point he asked me if I would vote for Josh?

.@theage confirms their Peter Costello influence with one of 2020's most ridiculous and biased articles. A thread ⬇️⬇️ #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan
Firstly, the headline. Does anyone legitimately fear Dan? I know this is an opinion piece but when your view is nonsense it has to be called out. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan
Our State Premiers (not just Dan) were thrust into the 'spotlight' as @ScottMorrisonMP delegated the pandemic response to the states. Morrison wasn't making decisions that mattered because is lazy and doesn't give a f**k. #auspol #springst #IStandwithDan #ParttimePM
