David Marler<p>1891 in Queensland and we're at war. Shearers have had enough with the bosses.

Lukas Parker<p>Concerned that I am being barraged with anti-Labor ads on YouTube from weird political groups that I have never heard of. Does the algo think I would seriously consider voting for Dutton? Where are the anti-Liberal ads? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>Look at your ballot papers. Vote for Labor or Greens or an IND or someone other than Coalition. Don't let the political descendants of Joh Bjelke-Petersen get control of this country. Ask a Queenslander who lived thru Joh Newman, it'll be far worse than Abbott/Morrison. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>Nothing cheers my heart more than watching the political descendants of Joh Bjelke-Petersen fight themselves. He'd be livid with all three of them right now. We got this, Australia. Vote sensibly where you are, don't let the Qld LNP get control of our country. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>

Sheepie<p>I'm confused. The nuclear plan is a bait and switch all about gas too.

David Marler<p>TJ Ryan died early at age 45. He lays at rest in Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane. At the time, he was on his way to become Australia's greatest Prime Minister. He died with his boots on. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>The federal seat of Ryan in Qld is named after our greatest premier, TJ Ryan. He was a Labor (Labour) reformer, liberal &amp; egalitarian. Australia's industrial laws trace back to him. Queenslanders never build statues of our leaders. He has two. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a> <a href="https://tjryanfoundation.org.au/about/who-was-tj-ryan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tjryanfoundation.org.au/about/</span><span class="invisible">who-was-tj-ryan</span></a></p>
David Marler<p>After such a huge defeat in 2012 Qld Labor could have easily sat back in opposition for a few terms. That was never an option for them. They had 7 MPs &amp; they fought back with courage &amp; determination. That same yeast is ripping through Dickson as you read this. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
