The caretaker #PM appearing on the #HateMedia (ABC Press club as defined by ), something I can’t remember #PeterDutton doing or being capable of.
“Through everything the world has thrown at #Australia over the last three years, for all the #challenges our #nation has faced, our #government has held true to those enduring Australian #values of #fairness, #aspiration and #opportunity.
It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the #ScottMorrison (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My #colleagues and I know there is more work to do. That is what #drives us.” — #AnthonyAlbanese
Half the battle is attendance.
Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is #Policy to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.

“Here's where your political #leaders have been campaigning so far”
Where are they missing?
“Neither of the leaders has set foot in an #Indigenous community. That is despite the #PM's(#Labor) victory speech from 2022 opening with a commitment to the #Uluru #Statement from the Heart.” (NB: Labor was the Party to hold, “The Voice” referendum.)
“Mr #Dutton (#LNP / #Liberal / #Nationals / ##Coalition) has been noticeably absent from sites where #NuclearReactors
would be built under his proposed #power plan, and he has deflected #questions from #journalists about when he might visit.”

Day 26 cont
“Prime Minister #AnthonyAlbanese has defended the #Labor candidate running against Peter Dutton as an “extraordinary Australian” after it emerged she tweeted faked images of the opposition leader wearing a #Nazi uniform.”
Leadership.

Day 23
“Blocking the #GamblingAdReforms is the fourth known example of Albanese’s willingness to #overrule senior ministers such as #EnvironmentMinister Tanya Plibersek, #AttorneyGeneral Mark Dreyfus and assistant minister Andrew Leigh when they were tackling #controversial and #sensitive #policies.
The #PrimeMinister can always use the authority of his position to make the final call on all matters of policy. This masthead has already revealed that #Albanese has come over the top of Plibersek on #EnvironmentalProtection laws, Dreyfus on mandatory jail terms for hate crimes and antisemitism, and Leigh on sex and gender census questions.”
I’m going to be re-elected.

“#DanielJones claimed responsibility for the #confrontation on Tuesday, alongside alt-right group #Melbourne #FreedomRally, in an incident that sparked #safety concerns about the ability of #extremists to #infiltrate #SecureLocations during the #election campaign.”
The two most dangerous times for diplomatic and political security is INGRESS and EGRESS from cars to buildings, buildings to cars. How did the extremists learn the TIME and PLACE of the PM?

“The #PM is asked how Labor's announcements will affect #Australians who already own one home, but are looking at #purchasing a second.
It's simple, the PM says — #houses will be #cheaper.
"If you increase supply, you assist everyone because you have an impact on #
affordability," he says.”
If you’re a first home buyer, if you want to buy a home but they’re too expensive, Labor does not give a

“The #PM was asked whether he'd commit to retaining #Plibersek as environment minister for a second term.
PM "You know what I'll commit to? Trying to win this #election," the PM says.
Sensing more is needed, he adds the following:
PM "#TanyaPlibersek has been a friend of mine for a long time. We live in neighbouring seats, we're good #mates and she's doing a *fantastic job*."
This is the Labor Environment Policy day.

I've been tinkering with a "GIST Checklist" for a few months as a means of making smaller, more day to day product changes. It's not complicated: just a checklist of all the things experienced #UX designers already do. The point is to be more transparent and collaborative with the broader product team so they understand the "gist" of the problem at hand.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a podcast with Lex Fridman, discussed India's strained relationship with Pakistan, attributing it to Pakistan's state-sponsored terrorism and unfulfilled peace efforts. He also recalled past diplomatic gestures, including inviting Nawaz Sharif for his swearing-in and his surprise visit to Lahore, which were met with hostility.

Reasons to love Australia. My comment of the week goes to Anthony Albanese the Australian PM, on the baby wombat debacle. What a funny, brutal, and flawless response…
“They are gentle, lovely creatures… I suggest to this so-called “influencer”, maybe she should try some other Australian animals, maybe she should try a crocodile.
Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there…”
Carney gets an astounding 85% of the vote, and is the Leader of the Liberal Party, will be PM in days.
The Madras High Court directed the Union government to unblock Ananda Vikatan's website while mandating the removal of an offensive cartoon featuring PM Narendra Modi. The website was initially blocked without proper notification, and the court deemed the specific cartoon the only objectionable content.

If one picture’s made my day, it’s this one. Welcome to the UK Volodymyr…
#Albo ‘confident’ #US would come to #Australia’s #defence in the event of #attack.
#PM tells Q&A that US #relationship is ‘#rocksolid’.
He probably has the #TrumpSneakers to prove it.
#Albo is a first class idiot & getting worse by the day.
He’ll have us joining the #AxisOfEvil if he has his way.
