They don’t need to advertise given how much they have @PatsKarvelas & @Raf_Epstein of @abcnews spruiking for them.
(also $7.70/vote lower house, $3.84 upper, over a 4% primary vote, up to a candidate/party's total audited campaign spending... The per-vote rate of public funding was bumped up slightly due to inflation)

Regardless of their labels these factions are power bases not ideological cells.
How were we so easily fooled?
“Anthony Albanese may be the first federal leader of the Australian Labor Party to hail from the Socialist Left.
“However, his track record in NSW shows that he rose to his current position by collaborating with the party’s right wing to crush genuine ALP socialists.”

Imagine if Russell Brand were Muslim. Everyone on here would be calling him a "Muslim rapist."
So why is no one calling him a "Christian rapist?"

Jeffries and Kushner work for the same boss. And it's not the United States of America.

The John Howard effect. Uncharismatic, but he's probably seen as competent. There have also been very few adverse events, which reinforce a sense of stability.
Really is similar to JWH.

Just sometimes this performative convention should be avoided. Like now!
Thank you to @SecRubio for bringing us together in Atlanta at a time of significant global challenges.
We discussed how Australia and the United States can continue to strengthen our alliance, support stability in our region and build greater economic security and resilience.
Your description of the problem is correct. But is compromising Super the only solution? There are many other things politics & society can do to reduce the number of families living in poverty.
Garth Hamilton says Liberal Party set to shift on superannuation- abc
When people are living in poverty with young kids but holding super accounts it doesn’t make any sense.
Stay in poverty when young so you can enjoy a better retirement.
Might be better for families now.

The fact Jillian Segal waited til after her Senate appearance this week before releasing an updated report with further crackdown measures on Universities and public freedoms, after already being caught lying at the antisemitism RC, is an absolute disgrace and she must be sacked.
Are we properly interrogating the role of the deep state? Maybe the mandarins have more control than the politicians.
What happened to the promised "transparency" in our great western democracy?
"There are a couple of reasons why senators post videos of public evidence by public servants on social media.
One of the main ones is to inform their constituents of what government is doing."

📣 Your reminder that Lindsey Graham, along with Mike Crapo, Chuck Grassley, Jerry Moran, Mitch McConnell, John Thune and Roger Wicker, voted to convict Bill Clinton for lying about an affair, but acquitted Trump for attempting a coup‼️
This is a purely speculative opinion piece which serves no purpose except to fill a contractual word count requirement. @abcnews should report & comment on news. Not hypothetical maybes/ gotchas abc.net.au/news/2026-10-26/a…

#insiders Thank goodness for old school journo Mark Kenny, he didn’t go as far as I would have loved him to go but he spoke about the bleeding obvious.
YES Media plays a big part in turning the temperature up, portraying policy debate as ONLY an aggressive bloodthirsty sport
Yes they certainly made Greg Browne look like he was more interested in presenting someone else’s narrative. They came across as sincere whereas he is an intellectual fake.
