Looks like Lynton of yesterday's fame has followed their Madges down to Canberra.
What, precisely, is the line between "super-fan" and stalker again? 🤔
Good result:
This is what has to happen when the major 'conservative' party veers off into radical authoritarianism: They have to be destroyed electorally. Otherwise, they never learn the lesson and just keep getting more radical.
We're lucky where I live because we can choose excellent Independent candidates who can actually do something in the Parliament.
But that's not how it works everywhere, so the only strategy is to vote for the lesser of two evils every time.
Look, bless his cotton socks. May we all find something in life that makes us as excited as young Lynton is about their Madges.
That said, let's just take a moment to note that this Australian monarchist super-fan chose to show his support by donning a jacket that *ONLY HAS THE BRITISH BIT OF THE FLAG ON IT*.
Kinda sums the whole thing up 🤷♂️
Good boi wants to vote too!*
* Or maybe he just wants the delicious #DemocracySausage his person is constitutionally obliged to get him on the way out of the polling place 😂
And for those who worry about compulsory voting, here’s a thing:
On the left are 98 informal votes counted at the Ted Blackwood Community Centre. They can be mistakes or deliberately unfilled ballots, or whatever.
On the right, 2,569 total votes counted.
If you ask me, having a large turnout (always over 90% because you get fined if you don’t vote) and having 96% of voters make their view known is pretty bloody awesome.
The big Australian political parties keep trying to say that Independent MPs are a wasted vote but, yet again, voters are rejecting that lie in favour of an MP who actually represents their views and not the big party line.
In what used to be one of the safest Liberal (conservative) seats in the state, a locally based climate focused Independent is winning 2 to 1 🤷🏼♂️

Update:
Four days now, and nothing's crashed. On top of the stuff in the OP, I've used Soundtoys stuff, SSL, Melodyne (sparingly and tastefully, of course, and only because it was an emergency 😉 🙄). All fine.
The Waves updater is behaving a little weirdly, but I think that's just the updater because they've put out multiple updates for it in the last few days so they must know something's wrong, and the plugins that I've used have all worked with no problem 🤷♂️
French-style ravioli?
Why, yes! Don't mind if I do!
Hmm...🤔
Now hearing that over a 100 of this excellent independent's signs went missing last night.
Surely the old-school conservative Liberal Party of Sir Robert Menzies and John Howard wouldn't get involved in shenanigans like that? 😏
In the incredibly unlikely event that you're a voter in Pittwater NSW, please vote for Jacqui. She's genuinely good people.
Looks like things are going just great! 👍
Note: tornadoes are not typically a thing down that way...

And, for the sake of balance, the other Australian Hollywood star/oscar nominee factory pre Margot Robbie, but there's Guy Pearce at 0:09, and Russell Crowe's guest arc might've been and gone by then 🤔
Note Kylie Minogue at 0:16 😉

This was before it basically became a factory for Hollywood movie stars like Heath Ledger, etc.
Good times...
So, the King's coming to Australia for his pro-forma landlord's inspection or whatever, and our media is full of thoughtful pieces about colonialism, etc.
But not at the Murdochs' News Corp!
For them, it's just shitty puns mixed with pandering to the ardent monarchists/ultra-conservatives, of course!
And they escaped!
Oh lord. They've loaded the bases with a walk and Ohtani's up 😬
