Last Notes npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Interested to see what people think about this from the Australian Greens npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Sussan Ley leaving the door open to the Nationals, I'm not sure how that works though especially with Littleproud as leader. npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I wonder if this split will last longer than the last one? npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul It's nice to get a snapshot of where things are at especially when we live in a bit of an echo chamber like it is here npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Not sure I buy that, polling companies are running businesses that are judged on how accurate they are. Although we only get to test that elections npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I usually avoid commenting on #USpol because it's just too mad at present but this one directly impacts Australia npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Interesting numbers from the first Newspoll of the year npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul That would be the easy way out Jude, I'm hoping they can find another way npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul An understandable concern I think. They would likely need a lot more numbers to get enough sway to change things though and I doubt that will happen any time soon npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Elizabeth Lee apparently gave it a go after the last election but couldn't make it happen npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I'm sure there would be some people strongly against it on both sides but in the end, if they can get some wins for people in the ACT I can't see the harm in giving it a go npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul This sparked my interest yesterday Jude, without comment, but even more so after the article in the Canberra Times re talks between the Greens and Liberals potentially forming government in the ACT npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Canberra Times has a story suggesting the ACT Greens are in talks with the Canberra Liberals, that would be quite the shake up npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul From the Guardian live blog npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul It won't go well if the visit goes ahead npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Happy birthday [@sister_ratched](https://toot.community/@sister_ratched ) 🎉 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul That would definitely be worse but his name rarely comes up when who is next is talked about npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I'm hoping he retires and gives someone else a go npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul The TOR should focus on potential intelligence and police failings around what happened npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Personally I think a Royal Commission is the right outcome, although that's the wrong reason to get there npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Happy birthday Jude 🎉 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Speedy, good to see npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I wonder how many countries have to fall before they say something? npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I was close. Noting it's a disgrace Albanese, and other world leaders, are making these statements on X npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul indeed and why AUKUS is so important npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul See what our leadership says today but if they follow the lead of others it will be, in some form of words... npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Sadly Labor appears to be sniffing around.

I'd take in person over a phone call though npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul didn't the Supreme Court rule they couldn't be used in Chicago? Or am I mixing that up with something else npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul they wanted to make people talk on the phone 😮 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul You must get a lot of emails Emma 😮 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Enjoy the festivities Jude 🎉 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Best of luck to those who live in places like that, can't be easy despite the beautiful places near by npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Doesn't sound like a place to stay for more than the night, I hope she rakes in big bucks 💰 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul This looks like a hot spot to be for NYE, literally npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Absolutely npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Fair call npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I don't think the genocide helped but if it works out they were inspired by ISIS, as it appears, there's a chance it could have happened either way npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Separate issue to my mind npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul The Ley attack on her was disgusting. Can't see the apology doing much good though, I can understand why the community feels let down npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul It'll be a good test of the new protest laws npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul As sad as the events of Bondi were they shouldn't be a factor but you're probably right Jude npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Concerning that Australia isn't listed here imo, recognising Palestine was just a first step, we need to stay united and take follow-up action with other like minded countries. npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul That's what started the thread npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Constitutionally it's on the states, Feds can co-ordinate and fund things but they need to be state based laws as I understand it npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul He will be expected to stick up for his shooting buddies. Already saying the laws will be state based, contact Chris Minns npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Dan Repacholi will be an interesting one to watch, Labor MP and Olympic shooter npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I wonder if they'll find him another seat 🤔 npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul A play to re-enter politics? npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Having attended the Harbour Bridge march I'd say 99% were there for the right reason. There was definitely a small element that were over the top in what they were arguing for npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul having grown up in New England I'd hope she'd have zero chance of winning there but they do keep electing Barnaby... npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul definitely not ideal.

Well except those of us who think about it most of the time lol npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul I think he has done his dash for now, he might be a leader or two down the track npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Yuck npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Time to split again? npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Sounds hard to avoid Jude lol npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Any Canberra folk been to Under Bakery in Mawson? npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul Maybe the answer isn't to go south?

Might be a step too far though npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul With Hastie moving to the backbench, supposedly over immigration but most likely so he can challenge for the leadership in the not too distant future, should the Liberal Party split? npub1gye0fk6eeaah9nhgv2dvqsdc39u0whgffaea9czymaf5ag96scxqc00qjc Paul definitely not ideal, it feels like they have been at it for ages, are they getting closer to being done?
