Don't you love when two ex prime minister's from opposing parties come together to roast the current prime minister on his lackluster approach to climate change and also staunch him on how biased the Murdoch monopoly media is?? Honestly, they are my new favourite old guy besties 🥰🥰

Politics and Social Media: #Auspol

The somewhat infamous hashtag, #Auspol, is the digital hub for all things Australian politics. Where all the politically engaged and wary individuals vested in Australian politics network together and perform political participation and communication. The hashtag is among one of the most profound and used in the world. Boasting over a million tweets on the global platform Twitter and may be described as a ’technology of engagement’, a tangible, material tool for people to relate to themselves and to others. Often crude, often not for the faint hearted and sometimes described as a ‘bloodbath’, the hashtag rated third among trending political topics on twitter in 2015 and was the only Australian trend to make it into the global top 30 trends, a year-end analysis of what or who was talked about the most on social media platforms.

Short for Australian politics, #auspol is often used for rumour spreading and commentary for both citizens and members of parliament to voice their opinion and has quickly become a ‘part of the political furniture in Australia’, a virtual object that contributes to the unfolding of social and political reality on a daily basis. The hashtag originated from America where it actually began as a compound word for Austin Politics, '(Aus)tin (Pol)tics’. Australia quickly took over the compound hashtag in 2010, which took off after two independent members of parliament, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott announced they would be joining with the then prime minister Julia Gillard to allow the Labor Party to form a minority government on September 7th. On September 7th, 241 tweets were sent using the hashtag #Auspol, with 1,500+ tweets on the days following. Now, the hashtag is mentioned 9,000+ posts a day, which grows or is influenced dependent on political disruption and day to day political events.

This weeks most talked about topics and issue/s via #Auspol:

Malcolm Turnbull is calling for Peter Dutton to explain himself, following reports that a Chinese billionaire, who was seeking a passport, paid a Liberal lobbyist tens of thousands of dollars to secure a private meeting with the then Immigration Minister.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has used $600,000+ of taxpayers money on advertising for the election.

Malcolm Turnbull Doesn’t Give a Shit About Marriage Equality

While Australia’s got rid of Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull isn’t really any better. Turnbull is for marriage equality but he’s postponing the people’s vote until after the next election. He doesn’t care about the lgbtqa+ community, he is using marriage equality to get re-elected. He is doing exactly what Kevin Rudd and the Labour party tried to pull in the 2013 election. I am just sick of Australian Prime Ministers only in it for themselves and fucking around with people’s basic humans rights.

Turnballs response (15/9/15) regarding the public vote on marriage equality:

“Another way of dealing with this is by vote of the people. And the Coalition, our government, has decided that the resolution of this matter will be determined by a vote of the people, all the people, via a plebiscite, to be held after the next election.” (x)
