Absolutely despicable. Vic ALP minister Paul Edbrooke had a bullet left on his car with his firefighter number, something only a few people could know as he negotiates with the UFU. Remember the threats they made to Jane Garrett. theage.com.au/national/victo…

A bullet on the windscreen, a firefighter’s old badge number: The message left on a Victorian...

The threatening act comes as the firefighters union begins a campaign urging voters to put Labor last, as a dispute over staffing requirements continues.

A 59 year old man has been charged. Not a stupid kid. Just disgraceful behaviour and not even a fortnight from the Haines attack.

(Not that a kid leaving someone with facial fractures would be ok, obviously. But this is someone well and truly old enough to know better.)

Sir, this is a national park, not a portal to the underworld. Photo of a bobcat pretending to be a tree demon at Joshua Tree National Park.

I'm hearing Labour's own internal polling is catastrophic for them. Hence they're terrified of @Reform.

Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil. The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Prediction markets also bombed having Bolsonaro around 80% at close of polls. Given that that was in no way a valid read off very close and herded polling, they thought the polls were underselling him.

After wrongly having the incumbent ahead in the first round Brasilian pollsters hedged and herded on a narrow win for the challenger in the second only to be mostly wrong again. (Lula somehow won by 3.5, an unremarkable polling miss overall but the herding is spectacular).

Swap Lula for Burnham and 2022 for 24 and I'm tentative to say, whatever happens in the next few years, we'll be making the same observation here in 28/29. xitter.cf/OwenWntr/status/211452…

Lula now pulling ahead in the Brazilian presidential election. Could be on verge of a major upset. Would mean a fourth term for the 80 year old president.
