Campaign spokesperson James Paterson for the conservative Coalition in Australia's election sees a direct link between the Coalition's defeat and Donald Trump's high profile political obnoxiousness.

Fear of a Trump planet has delivered Australia from evil #australianelection
And as in Canada, the Conservative Party leader may well lose his seat in Parliament: “It was third major U.S. ally, after Germany and Canada, to hold elections since Mr. Trump’s second term began in January. Even though Mr. Trump did not figure as centrally in elections here as he did in Canada, the worldwide turmoil arising from his trade and diplomatic decisions weighed on Australian voters.”

Live coverage of Australia's election results by ABC News Australia starts at 0730 UTC/GMT.
Australia uses ranked choice voting. You can get some idea of how it works while watching election coverage.

Fresh off the heels of the Canadian election, two more countries are heading to the polls this weekend. Our @NewsDesk shared a guide to the Australian election, while our @CultureDesk looked at how the Singaporean government is attempting to reach young voters. Both countries vote on May 3.

So the LNP is sending out mailshots and displaying massive posters asking: "Can we afford a Labour Govt?" And "Put Australia back on track."
hmmm
As far as i can remember Australia was off-track for a decade under LNP with rorts, corruption and false promises.
And when the debt reached just under a trillion ppl voted with their feet to knock Morrison Dutton Frydenberg well and truly off their perches.
But hey Dutton - keep wasting party funds on lame posters. See if anyone cares.
"Israel admits chain of failures in medic killings"
Chain of failures? WTF?
Let's be honest. The only 'failure', or lesson the IDF will learn from this is to search the bodies of the innocents they have just murdered for mobile phones before they bury them in a mass grave and lie about it. If the IDF honestly believed those they killed were enemy combatants, they'd have been thoroughly searched and that phone would have been found. Not hastily bulldozed into a mass grave.
And the #Australian government continues to provide military, diplomatic and political support to this rogue state, to the point of criminalising dissent with mandatory prison sentences.
Am very disappointed in the Australian media for agreeing with Lab and LNP to not make this outrage an election issue.

So Dutton will need $600 billion (thats $600,000,000,000 ) of tax payers' money to fund his nuclear reactors.
What a frigging waste: same as the $368 billion ($368,000,000,000 ) predicted for the dead duck AUKUS.
Locked into with USA, thanks to that other great LNP leader, Shite Morrison.
Libs really are the party of financial MISmanagement. Can we all remember the decade of corruption we had with LNP in power ???
Can the 47% of undecided Aus voters remember that when they vote?
$968 billion could buy us a LOT of investment in medicine, education, NDIS, green tech transition and now R+D in Aus in all sectors.
Or should we vote Liberal for more dead-duckism ??

This is a lesson for EVERY leader of every one of the nations affected by Trump - not just UK:
"You do NOT get into bed with a fascist."

The #canberraliberals can fuck right off.
In the unlikely event I lodge a postal vote, I'll send it straight to the AEC thankyou very much, not to the LIBERAL PARTY so they can harvest data, and may or may not forward my vote on.
What happens when the Lib party staff member or volunteer notices that a postal vote is not going their way? Any guarantee there are not a few votes accidentally falling off the table in to the bin?
[Edit: this process harvests information about the voter, not their vote itself. This spam is only offering to 'help' us request a postal vote from the AEC.]
I cannot believe this practice is legal. But of course it is, because #australianlabor agrees with the Libs they should be exempt from #privacy laws.
澳洲大選－故意向選民提供虛假資訊
再次...
我們可愛的澳洲華人正在澳洲選舉中收到右翼激進分子故意散佈的錯誤訊息
又一次……
我们可爱的澳大利亚华人，在澳大利亚大选中被右翼激进分子故意误导。
Translation:
Yet again...
Our Chinese-Aussies are getting deliberate misinformation from right wing activists in Australian elections.

..'the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, the planet keeps heating up, and democratic rights are disappearing.'
'This is by design, it is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.'
'Put as simply as I can: the major parties across the entire western world have been captured by interests that are not in alignment with ordinary people, not in alignment with a decent future for humanity, and therefore, the only logical thing Australians should do is dilute duopoly power as much as possible.'
'Vote for a minority government.'
So we've just had mailshots about registering for postal voting in Deakin Electorate. (E Melbourne suburbs)
Libs won by 0.02% after 3 recounts.
The mailshot is NOT from AEC.
They've come from Michael Sukkar's office again, as in 2022, with full colour leaflets promoting him and his fugly mugshot.
This pissed me off 3 yrs ago and my understanding it wasn't to happen again.
So why is it ?
Curtis Yarvin. (See wiki link below, first three paras)
Hes the man behind Peter Thiel, Trump, Vance, Steve Bannon &co and the Trump/MAGA movement. Pure evil.
This is not fascism modelled on 1930s - its called the Dark Enlightenment/neo-feudalism.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin
The book 
summarising/critique-ing Yarvin's "philosophy" makes for very chilling reading. The screen shots below are just one small part.
I would put a Content Warning on this but we must MUST inform ourselves about what their agenda is.
