Minor party will not win a House of Representatives seat and its performance in the Senate is still unknown after spending millions on advertising What does spending tens of millions of dollars on advertising and bombarding people with unsolicited text messages get you if you’re Clive Palmer – at least in the House of Representatives will not win a single lower house seat and which spent just $6,200 on social media ads in the last 30 days and barely campaigned It is not known exactly how much money Palmer’s party has spent on this election campaign. He told the Daily Telegraph he had spent up to $60m, but this figure has not been independently verified. Public records show the party spent more than $5m on YouTube ads and $1.2m on Meta ads Sign up for the Afternoon Update: Election 2025 email newsletter It is too early to say whether the minor party will win enough votes and preferences to secure a Senate seat but it currently has just less than a third of the required quota This outcome may not be known for several days On Channel Seven on Saturday night, Palmer said the advertising spend had “stimulated debate” and claimed credit for an end-of-campaign discussion about welcome to country ceremonies “I think we can win some Senate seats and play a really important role in the next term of parliament,” Palmer told Channel Seven Ads claiming “we don’t need to be welcomed to our own country,” were splashed on the front pages of Nine newspapers during the election campaign. Hours after welcome to country addresses were disrupted at Anzac day dawn services, similar ads surrounded the homepage of news.com.au.

matters When Trumpet of Patriots was launched in April Wrightson said “Australia needs many of the policies of the Trump administration which will be effective in bringing Australia back on track” Yellow hats saying “Make Australia Great Again” were handed out The American journalist Tucker Carlson featured in proceedings Anthony Albanese criticised attempts to mimic foreign political campaigns in Australia without specifically mentioning the United States or Trumpet of Patriots “Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way looking after each other while building for

estimated $3.4 billion and ranked 18th on Forbes Australia’s 50 Richest list for 2025, launched the Trumpet of Patriots in February after failing to re-register his previous political vehicle The mining magnate promised to bring a Trump-style populist agenda to Canberra vowing to “drain the swamp,” slash public spending The party’s branding also borrowed heavily from Trump’s campaign playbook complete with “Make Australia Great Again” caps he said he was willing to spend “whatever is required” to defend freedom of speech – though critics argued his SMS-heavy strategy alienated voters rather than inspiring them In response to the backlash over both the texts and YouTube ads Palmer told News Corp “the advertising supports a lot of journalists and newspapers and it creates a lot of debate” And while the Trumpet party ran candidates in all 150 lower house seats and across the Senate it failed to convert that scale into support $60 million – How much Clive Palmer claims he spent

Election night was a fizzer for Clive Palmer, whose Trumpet of Patriots party failed to elect anyone despite the mining magnate\\u2019s $50 million estimated advertising expenditure, while Coalition hopes that One Nation preferences would help it win seats were dashed. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton spent much of his last week on the campaign trail claiming he could form government, with conservative sources briefing the media that One Nation could get 10 per cent of the vote that would overwhelmingly flow to the Coalition. \\u201C[That] really reflects the mood that the marginal seat members are reporting back to me at the pre-polling,\\u201D Dutton said in an interview with Brisbane radio station 4BC on Tuesday. \\u201CI think there are a few surprises coming, and there\\u2019s no doubt in my mind that we can win this election.\\u201D But voters had baseball bats rather than bouquets for far-right parties. Pauline Hanson\\u2019s One Nation got 6.15 per cent of first preference votes, as of the count on Sunday, up only slightly from the 5 per cent it received in 2022. Clive Palmer\\u2019s Trumpet of Patriots party was punished for its deliberate association with Donald Trump, claiming just 1.85 per cent of the vote. Palmer\\u2019s spokesman bragged he could spend during the campaign, but advertising experts estimated his final expenditure would come in at about $50 million in the final federal election where spending will not be capped. Speaking at the National Press Club in March, Palmer said that politics was his hobby and he would spend \\u201Cas much as my wife will let me\\u201D. \\u201CAt 70, I could join many Australians and play lawn bowls, right? I find this more exciting, talking to you, than playing lawn bowls,\\u201D Palmer said. But the 2025 results represent a big slump from Palmer\\u2019s former United Australia Party, which gained 4.1 per cent of the national vote in 2022 after spending more than $120 million, but only managed to install Senator Ralph Babet. Trumpet of Patriots leader Suellen Wrightson, who appeared in the party\\u2019s ubiquitous advertising, failed in her bid to win the NSW seat of Hunter. One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts could lose his Queensland seat at this election, and Hanson\\u2019s daughter Lee is only an outside chance to claim a Tasmanian Senate spot. Pauline Hanson remains in the Senate until 2028. The Coalition under Dutton revoked former Liberal prime minister John Howard\\u2019s decision to oppose Pauline Hanson\\u2019s fringe views by placing her last on Senate preferences. The Liberals\\u2019 how-to-vote cards this year instructed voters to preference One Nation first in 57 seats, while One Nation gave first preference instructions for the Liberals in about 12 seats. Both parties denied there had been a preference deal. Resolve director Jim Reed, who conducts polls for this masthead, said the pre-election excitement over One Nation\\u2019s influence was not \\u201Cvisible from the primary vote results\\u201D. \\u201CThings were being briefed out, including internal polling, saying it\\u2019s not as bad as the published polls in marginals,\\u201D Reed said. \\u201CIt was, and then some.\\u201D This masthead\\u2019s Resolve Political Monitor predicted that Hanson\\u2019s party would receive 7 per cent of the national vote, with the likely final result within the margin of error. Reed said Trumpet of Patriots\\u2019 prospects fell with Australians\\u2019 opinions of Donald Trump, after the US president started a global trade war. \\u201CTheir strategy may have been OK for a certain portion of the electorate three or four months ago, but they either misread the mood or were unable to change their branding and policy,\\u201D he said. Dutton aped several One Nation policies, including Hanson\\u2019s derision of \\u201Cwoke\\u201D school curriculums. Dutton said in the second last week of the campaign that he wanted to end \\u201Cindoctrination\\u201D. \\u201CWe need to stop the teaching of some of the curriculum that says that our children should be ashamed of being Australian,\\u201D he said during a leaders\\u2019 debate on Channel Seven. Then, just days before the election, Dutton said he had no plan to change school curriculums. Also in the second last week of the campaign, Dutton revved up the culture war over Welcome to Country ceremonies, arguing they were \\u201Coverdone\\u201D at events such as sports matches and on Qantas flights and declaring they should not be part of Anzac Day. Dutton also took a hardline stance against immigration, called for a boost to fossil fuels, an extension to coal plants and opposed renewable energy.

Hill (@sean_o_hill) I’m a big Barker fan, and his glorious quote regarding Joanne Von Transphobe reminded me that I hadn’t read his children’s novels. Luckily for me, I had bought a beautiful hardback edition of Abarat during one of my many jaunts to the charity shop. Barker may be best known for his sensual blends of body horror and the surreal but he’s also an excellent fantasy author, and this is another example of that. The amazingly named Candy Quackenbush hates living in Chickentown, a Minnesota town where the only industry is chicken slaughtering and she has no hope of escaping her abusive home. Things change drastically when a man whose brothers live on the horns on his head asks for her help in calling an ocean to engulf the endless plain and take them to the world of Abarat, an archipelago where every island is a different hour of the day. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sylvia Day (@sylvia_day) I avoided reading it at the time because I really hated 50 Shades and had an aversion to ultra-alpha rich brat heroes and far less enthused about the current romance trends of romantasy and dark romance when I saw that Day was returning to this series with a new spin-off I thought I’d check out the book that many of my friends said was ‘the good 50 Shades.’ They weren’t wrong Eva Trammel is starting a new job and hoping to carve out a quiet life for herself without the help of her super-rich stepdad Her work brings her into contact with Gideon Cross a billionaire businessman who seems instantly enraptured with her even if Eva is less keen to fall hopelessly into his arms but this is a romance novel so you know what happens next You can see why this book was so frequently compared to 50 Shades and not just because of timing: stoic and controlling rich hero an obviously iffy power dynamic between the central pair aside from being a far better writer than James is more nuanced in her handling of her protagonists Both Eva and Gideon have dark pasts they’re trying to deal with Eva is a sexual assault victim who wants to deal with her trauma free from her guilt-ridden mother She’s not a pushover but she’s also conflicted about her emotions regarding this guy who has barged his way into her life Gideon has a controlling streak but he’s not a monster or a creep This is a portrayal of two people trying to deal with mutual baggage and be reasonably healthy about it while still figuring out their boundaries own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment University of Melbourne provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation AU View all partners The publication by the Newcastle Herald of a political advertisement by Clive Palmer’s Trumpet of Patriots party stating “there are only two genders – male and female” has provoked a backlash that has seen the advertisement removed from the paper’s online edition has apologised for printing it in the first place The ad also ran on the front page of The Age on March 12 This raises a question about freedom of speech There are three reasons why this advertisement does not deserve the protection of the free-speech principle The second is that it attacks people for an attribute of birth and the third is that it is unjustifiably harmful being calculated to arouse prejudice for political gain It is factually wrong because there are people in the community who are trans or gender-diverse. The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has a Gender Service clinic to assist children and adolescents in this situation. It states on its website that being trans or gender-diverse is seen as part of the natural spectrum of human diversity The clinic’s website also draws attention to the risk of harm to these often vulnerable young people It states that they experience considerably higher rates of depression self-harm and attempted suicide compared with their cisgender peers because of their experiences of stigma Grayling has developed a scheme for assessing harm arising from prejudice against people on the grounds of certain attributes he identifies what he calls attributes of birth: race sexual orientation and disability among them This provides valuable guidance about the attributes that deserve the most robust protection It is not necessary for the editor of a newspaper to be familiar with any of this in order to see that an advertisement of the kind published in the Newcastle Herald was totally indefensible All that had to be done was to substitute race or skin colour for gender and ask: would we publish such an advertisement On top of that, since 1984 Australia has had a Sex Discrimination Act, the latest iteration of which makes it an offence to discriminate against a person on the grounds of gender identity or intersex status making it clear that these are protected attributes under the law Australian Community Media said it has checks in place for political advertising “but on this occasion the process failed and the advertisement was not reviewed before publication” Even at face value the advertisement is factually wrong as a matter of general knowledge which would be as good a starting point as any for making a decision about whether to publish it The ad goes on to say: “We must stop confusing children in schools Give them a safe and normal environment to grow and develop in and let them decide who they are when they become adults.” It pretends to stand for the protection of all children from “confusion” while exposing some children to the risk of serious harm Nor can the ad be defended as a statement of opinion It is unambiguously purporting to be a statement of fact At The Age, journalists reportedly wrote a formal letter of complaint to management after discovering the same ad was booked for the front page of that paper on Wednesday March 12 The Age and News Corp newspapers have published other Palmer ads that have aroused indignation the front page of the Age carried an ad that read: “We don’t need to be welcomed to our own country.” On March 11 the front page ad said: “Too much immigration destroys infrastructure.” Race is clearly an undertone in both of these but they are directed at practices and policies they are categorically different from the ad about gender In no civilised country is the right of free speech absolute although political speech enjoys a high degree of protection democracies draw the line at free speech is the point where the speech does harm to others These limitations are derived from the harm principle developed by that champion of free speech, John Stuart Mill, in On Liberty It remains a relevant standard even in the coarsened political atmosphere in which we live The fact that certain views may arouse indignation or even anger in others is not on its own a ground for suppressing them Correction: The article originally stated that the ad about there being “only two genders” was scheduled to run in The Age but cancelled In fact it ran on the front page on March 12 Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix SB Nation caught up with legendary sports photographer Clive Rose from Getty Images about his incredible career Florida — If you have followed Formula 1 the last few decades Rose is an award-winning photojournalist whose images have become iconic in not just the world of F1 From his photographs from both the Summer and the Winter Olympics and other sporting events across the globe Rose has taken fans of sport inside the games to the most recognizable race tracks in the world and he has even pioneered the art of underwater sports photography He is currently the Chief Sports Photographer for Getty Images and was in Miami to cover the 2025 Miami Grand Prix I was lucky enough to sit down with him for a wonderful discussion his favorite moments over his illustrious career a discussion of a few of my favorite photos of his and even some of his thoughts on the 2025 F1 season Rose’s path to the pinnacle of the sports world began with his father As he told me on Saturday before the Miami Grand Prix it was his father who “piqued” his interest in photography and with Rose having an interest in motorsport in general making it to the grid was always on his mind He studied media and photography in college in the United Kingdom Continue with school and head to University Rose was fortunate enough to be offered a position that he called a “ junior position with a leading Formula One photographer,” but it was not an easy decision “I was faced with a decision to sort of do the work experience route So I decided the hands-on approach was probably the best way forward and it turned out to be the case,” said Rose introduced me to the world of Formula One.” Rose told me the position was a “marriage of two passions,” a lesson he hopes to instill in a younger generation “It was really like a marriage of like two passions I try and tell my children that you need to do something that you really enjoy.” His work focused on F1 until 2003 when he joined Getty Images That move allowed him to expand his catalog of work “I joined Getty Images at the start of 2003 really to sort of broaden my photographic horizons,” said Rose the opportunity is vast across the sporting spectrum the Olympics and the World Cup soccer and all other sports and just gave me a good depth of experience across everything.” As Rose explained to me during our conversation on Saturday his senior role at Getty has him overseeing an entire team of photographers on a race weekend making sure that they satisfy the needs of all of their clients “When I joined Getty I then like kind of diversified and started doing other events so dropped off the full-time doing Formula One But I kept all my experience from doing Formula One and then more recently I’ve come back to it to manage the team here,” said Rose we’ve got like 14-15 photographers at each race covering many different commercial and editorial briefs but we’re also an editorial image provider so we have to make sure that the people that do that understand the importance of that and like telling the story about what is going on in Formula One covering a Grand Prix means entering race weekend with a plan Not just for the stories they want to tell but for how they will physically and logistically cover the track So we have to remain cognizant of evolving stories and storylines there’s a fancy picture at Turn 7 at five o’clock in the afternoon “We have to make sure that we have a full picture all of the time so it’s up to us to remain engaged with the stories and the journalists.” Then comes how Rose and his team at Getty will fan out to cover as much of the track as they can He explained to me how the team puts that in motion early in the week I work with some senior colleagues to work out what everybody’s going to do every day We do a plan every day and with a lot of photographers they have different windows of opportunity,” began Rose we need to make sure that a lot of the track is covered “A lot of the guys have to do the grid before the start of the race so that limits their travel time to the rest of the track So that will fall to myself and some of my other colleagues where we will be further out and they will do this section “It is quite a big kind of thing to sort of plan out and then everybody will gravitate back to the parc ferme and podium at the end and it will be planned out who’s shooting where The part of our conversation I was most looking forward to When I asked Rose about some of my favorite F1 photographs of his from recent seasons The topic of Lando Norris’ win at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix came up earlier in the conversation so I began with this photo from last year’s podium celebration: “I had some I had some good access last year working for Formula One,” began Rose when I asked about this photograph there was so much talk about him going into this race he was right at that stage where he was nearly winning races and he obviously had one of the greatest of all time he’s competing against in Max [Verstappen] we’d seen him leading races and then the car let him down or something went wrong strategy-wise Max would just take it to another level and would just get over the line in front of him when he gets over the line and he wins the race so now we’ve gotta go into making sure that we record this in the right way.’ “Because this is gonna stand the test of time In a similar fashion to Norris’ breaking through with his first win in Formula One was Charles Leclerc’s long-awaited victory at the Monaco Grand Prix After so many heart-breaking incidents in his home race the Ferrari driver finally reached the top step of a podium on a circuit that includes streets where he learned to drive Three photographs of Rose’s stood out to me from that race and I was lucky enough to ask the award-winning photojournalist about each of them “I’ve done Monaco quite a few times and I’ve seen how close he came to winning and I was at the chicane when he crashed that year [in qualifying] He hit the barrier on the inside and then skipped over and went into the wall you see these young guns come in and they make these kind of but this stuff happens to them where there’s something in them or their strategies or their just their timeline is just not ready yet,” continued Rose “Some people will come in and win a race right away ‘Oh they’re the greatest thing.’ But there’s others because until they get to the point where they win they’re just like all the other newcomers,” said Rose “They have to go through this kind of process of coming so close but being yet so far And Charles is another one of these guys where he has always been seen as super talented but just couldn’t get it over the line for whatever reason “So to see him kind of win in Monaco last year was you knew that it was a pretty special moment.” there was context to Leclerc’s win in Monaco that went beyond a driver finally winning his home race “What was really cool about that was that Prince Albert was on the podium as well and like that whole sort of protocol around him “So I’ve done that podium so many times and obviously Prince Albert is there and they’re in protocol and he hands a trophy “He was genuinely all over the place,” continued Rose “We’re so used to seeing these people who run in these circles sort of always being quite steadfast and serious But I think I’ve got a frame of him sipping the champagne as well behind Charles on the podium That was the perfect lead-in to the next photograph I wanted to ask “What’s always interesting is what happens now when you get that kind of monkey off your back from winning the first race because to have a Monégasque driver win the Monaco Grand Prix I’m probably not going to see another person win the Monaco Grand Prix who is from Monaco in my lifetime.” Leclerc became just the second Monégasque driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix but if you’re interested in people and sport and I think a lot of people are — I think you need to be otherwise you couldn’t really do this job — but yeah it’s great when all those kinds of stars align and you’re there to record that event It was time to ask about Leclerc’s dive into the harbor after winning in Monaco “So it’s a bit of a tricky one because this was after the team and the rumor was that he was going to go into the harbor and there’s not a lot of room around it and you didn’t know he was going to come out of the gate and then you didn’t know where he was going to go basically “So it’s very difficult to sort of predict and like a lot of these people are nearly falling in the water trying to get this picture “It was quite tricky to be in the right place on that one “But what was also funny was Fred [Vasseur but I think ultimately he ended up getting shoved in.” When I was preparing for this conversation there was one photograph that I had to ask about Rose’s award-winning image of Verstappen kicking a rear tire after crashing at the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix: The picture was selected as the winner in the Formula One category in the 2022 World Sports Photography Awards and of course the tourism banner in the background every aspect of this picture is pitch-perfect you’re just able to get in the way that it was intended,” began Rose “You always look to fill the frame as a photographer when something like that happens rarely are you absolutely on the perfect lens and framing So I was just fortunate that I was on exactly the right lens,” continued Rose you can see the skid marks he kind of spun around and came to a sliding halt and I can’t remember the circumstances of the championship at that time but I know he was charging hard in that race and I know that it felt like quite a big shock that that had happened “I don’t know why when he got out of the car because he kind of walked around the back and I just had a hunch he was going to kick it “I just felt he’s probably going to kick it I think he pressed the tire or he looked at it or something and then yeah I just instinctively kept pressing the shutter I’ve got one frame where he’s he’s kicking it and the foot’s on the tire there’s a frame before and the frame after but you obviously want the foot kicking it.” The “Experience Azerbaijan” banner in the background was “And the sign in the background was just fortuitous Rose outlined how there are “two stages” to an image like this coming together and also just making sure that when it does happen Because it can fall into the lap like that But I guess there’s an element of you make your own luck,” added Rose “I was pretty pleased with that just because it’s not the greatest technical photograph “And I think you always strive to record that because that stands the test of time but it’s these pictures where it’s emotion that’s important to catch when they do happen I think they’re the ones that stand the test of time.” As our wonderful conversation drew to a close I could not resist taking the opportunity to ask one of the most knowledgeable and experienced minds regarding F1 his thoughts on the current season Rose began with a discussion setting forth the myriad storylines that have already made this a fascinating F1 campaign I think it will be very much based around the sport going into a new set of technical regulations next year probably the biggest that there’s been for quite a while,” began Rose “You have the subplots around Lewis at Ferrari teams will get to a point in the year where they will jump off and put all [their] resources into next year “Teams only have a set amount of resources so it all depends on when those teams start jumping off [to focus on 2026 and the new regulations] “We saw it a few years ago with the change to these regulations where you ended up having Red Bull and Mercedes fighting all the way to the end and having to put resources into it to keep that title challenge alive and then that probably had a bit of a negative impact right now really,” added Rose “I know that Red Bull sort of managed to keep things fairly competitive but I just think it will be interesting from that perspective.” Then there is the story of Hamilton at Ferrari “The Lewis Ferrari one is really interesting I wouldn’t say that’s probably gone the way that people thought it doesn’t seem to be going the way that people thought it might “I think everybody thought Lewis might come in and dominate Charles but actually Charles was quietly going about his business I think it’s going to be one of the most interesting seasons we’ve had.” Rose believes there is a lot of orange — or papaya to be precise — to come over the rest of the year “My hunch would be McLaren [are] in a very strong position And it’s nice to see that a team has come through like McLaren “It’d be nice if Lando gets to deliver on what they’ve invested in him and the way that he’s brought the team through and then obviously Oscar’s now come in and kind of just quietly going about his business So I hope sort of Lando can get something out of it Rose and his team will be there to tell those stories ...but your activity and behavior on this site made us think that you are a bot Note: A number of things could be going on here Please solve this CAPTCHA to request

WATCH HERE: Amanda Owen stars in series two of Our Farm Next Door Clive Owen has worried fans who were tuned into the latest episode of Our Farm Next Door as the 70-year-old underwent an life-altering health procedure The farmer is used to undertaking physical work in all weather but on Tuesday's episode of the farm-based show he found himself having to take a step back as he was unable to get around properly The former Our Yorkshire Farm star and dad-of-nine ended up preparing for a hip operation when the current series of the documentary was being filmed with the first series returning to Ravenseat Farm and following the Owen clan as they renovated an abandoned farmhouse Amanda Owen detailed how her ex-husband Clive had to sit sideways on the quad the parents have been able to co-parent and also continue to work together despite their relationship breakdown viewers were pleased to see the return of Our Farm Next Door While he didn't appear to say very much about his health condition Amanda filled viewers in on the operation and why it was necessary the Yorkshire Shepherdess detailed: "It's getting ever so close now to Clive going for his hip operation Delving into how the procedure will help Clive I don't think I can say he can't get his leg over Amanda Owen described Clive as a 'terrible patient' as he faced a health issue on Our Farm Next Door "He's having to sit sideways on the quad bike at the moment "And trying to persuade him to do anything that's gonna take him out of action is quite a hard sell because I mean he's had one done and he knows the difference he knows it'll breathe new life into him." Amanda couldn't help but complain about Clive's workaholic ways adding: "He's already pointing out how he wants everything to be the place is going to fall apart if I'm not here.' He's not very good at letting go Clive admitted: "I wouldn't say I'm really looking forward to it but that's what's going to happen and so this is my last day for a little while." He also admitted his perfectionist tendencies as he confessed: "And then I'll be back and I'll just have to tell them what to do and drive them all mad Amanda branded her former husband a "terrible patient," because he could only focus on returning to his beloved farm work and with it his temperament has been problematic," Amanda shared adding: "Now he's taking his first faltering steps outside and he's finding fault with everything." Clive Owen left some Our Farm Next Door fans concerned on Tuesday evening While Amanda was quick to admit how Clive seemed back to normal and was getting under her skin pointing out that he seemed like he was in a lot of pain one person remarked: "You can see the pain he is in," while MailOnline reports how someone else penned: "Get well soon Another commented under one of Amanda's recent Instagram posts: "Hope Clive is OK after his op Good to see Clive having his second hip done and looking good after it as well…Sid’s eye roll so funny!” Others enthused about the series being back on screens with one writing: "My favourite programme," and a sixth adding: "Your children are having a wonderful childhood They don't realise it yet but they will remember how amazing it was and will be so grateful for it." (sic) Analysis of online ad data shows parties and affiliated groups spent more than $39m for political ads across Facebook Labor splurged more than $11m across Google and Meta platforms to win votes, far surpassing its opponents – including billionaire Clive Palmer – and outstripping political foes in key seats in the lead-up to polling day. New data showed the major parties have poured cash into boosting targeted messages to social media users in tightly contested electorates, including marginal seats in Bennelong, Brisbane, Boothby, Blair and Bullwinkel. Political advertising on social media will continue even as polling booths open on Saturday morning. Electoral advertising laws only impose a blackout period on broadcast TV and radio. Read moreAdvocates have pushed for changes to the decades-old laws, which stop legacy media outlets airing political ads two days before the election, but do not extend to Facebook Guardian Australia analysis, using data from Populares’ ad tracker, showed political parties and affiliated groups spent more than $39m for political ads since 28 March across Facebook, YouTube and Google search Labor’s pages – including candidate and MP accounts – totalled $11.4m, about 29% of that bill, booking $4.2m worth of Meta ads, $6.8m on YouTube and more than $400,000 in ads on Google search and display The Liberal party’s pages trailed Labor, spending $7.1m – about $3.8m on Meta ads and $3m on YouTube Overall spend by party or affiliated groupPalmer is no stranger to splashing cash at federal elections and his new minor party, Trumpet of Patriots While the mining billionaire spent a comparatively small $1.2m on Meta ads he spent almost $5.5m on boosting hundreds of YouTube ads The ads primarily featured the Hunter candidate speaking about the party’s “commonsense” policies You can spend an enormous amount of money selling a beer that no one wants to drinkKos SamarasTeal independents which includes Climate 200’s page and their candidates amassed a $3.5m bill with $2.6m on Meta ads The Greens and Nationals gave no advertising money to Meta instead booking ads on YouTube worth $316,400 and $212,150 respectively Third-party groups spent big trying to influence the election’s results Progressive groups including It’s Not a Race and the Clean Energy Council spent close to $2m on online political ads including Australian Unions and the United Workers Union followed closely behind with $1.6m on Meta and Google ad placements The rightwing advocacy group Advance has asked supporters to dig deep to unseat the Greens and Labor Analysis showed Advance spent about $1.6m on online political ads Other rightwing groups, such as Better Australia and the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance, spent a cumulative $1.5m promoting their ideas to social media users. Redbridge pollster Kos Samaras said political parties might spend large on social media but without adapting to the online world, it could end up as “burnt money”. “You can spend an enormous amount of money selling a beer that no one wants to drink,” he said. While the overall figures demonstrate political parties are willing to spend more than ever on online campaigns, further analysis shows their advertising is increasingly targeted to influence battleground seats. And it was Labor again spending most on that front. At the top of the list is Bennelong in Sydney’s inner north. Labor and the Liberals are fiercely contesting the marginal electorate on the ground and online. Labor spent $270,000 on targeted Google advertising to those living in the seat, more than double the Liberals. Unions and Advance have also boosted their messages in Bennelong, spending $49,200 and $8,250 respectively. Political parties and groups have spent more than $350,000 on YouTube advertising in five other seats too: Blair, Brisbane, Bruce, Chisholm and McEwen.

Over this campaign, our digital mailboxes have been stuffed with a slew of political appeals and promises, many from the new party Trumpet of Patriots (backed by Clive Palmer, a veteran of the mass text campaign) these tactics remain a persistent feature of Australian election campaigns A recent proposal to update decades-old rules could help change things – if a government would put it into practice Several laws regulate ‘spam’ and data collection in Australia First, there is the Spam Act This legislation requires that organisations obtain our consent before sending us marketing emails The unsubscribe links you see at the bottom of spam emails Second, the Do Not Call Register (DNCR) Act. This act establishes a “do not call” register, managed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma), which individuals can join to opt out of telemarketing calls. the Privacy Act requires that organisations tell us when and why they are collecting our personal information and the purposes for which they intend to use it It restricts organisations from re-purposing personal information collected for a particular purpose This trio of laws was designed to offer relief from unsolicited stop the deluge of political messages at election time due to broad political exemptions sewn into the legislation decades ago The Spam Act and DNCR Act apply to marketing for goods and services but not election policies and promises, while the Privacy Act contains a carve-out for political parties The upshot is that their campaigns are free to ‘spam’ and target voters at will Their only obligation is to disclose who authorised the message Secrecy about the nature and extent of campaign data operations makes it difficult to pinpoint precisely where a campaign might have obtained your data from a number of ways political campaigns can acquire our information One source is the electoral roll (though not for phone numbers, as the Australian Electoral Commission often points out) Incumbent candidates might build on this with information they obtain through contact with constituents which they’re allowed to re-purpose for campaigning at election time Another source is data brokers – firms which harvest analyse and sell large quantities of data and profiles We know the major parties have long maintained voter databases to support their targeting efforts, which have become increasingly sophisticated over the years Other outfits might take more haphazard approaches – former MP Craig Kelly claimed to use software to randomly generate numbers for his texting campaign in 2021 Unwanted campaign texts are not only irritating to some This year, there have been reports of “push polling” texts (pseudo surveys meant to persuade rather than gauge voter options) in the marginal seat of Kooyong. The AEC has warned about misleading postal vote applications being issued by parties via SMS. Generative AI is hastening the ability to produce misleading content, cheaply and at scale, which can be quickly pushed out across an array of online social and instant messaging services. In short, annoying texts are just one visible symptom of a wider vulnerability created by the political exemptions. Read moreThe basic argument for the political exemptions is to facilitate freedom of political communication, which is protected by the constitution. As the high court has said, that freedom is necessary to support informed electoral choice. It does not, however, guarantee speakers a captive audience In 2022, the Attorney General’s Department proposed narrowing the political exemptions as part of a suite of updates to the Privacy Act parties and representatives would need to be more transparent about their data operations provide voters with an option to unsubscribe from targeted ads refrain from targeting voters based on “sensitive information” and handle data in a “fair and reasonable” manner The changes would be an overdue but welcome step, recognising the essential role of voter privacy in a functioning democratic system the government has not committed to taking up the proposal A bipartisan lack of support is likely the biggest obstacle even as the gap created by the political exemptions widens – and its rationale becomes flimsier – with each election cycle Tegan Cohen has received funding from the Australian Research Council (FT210100263).

did I pick an Irishman again this time around I lived and played in Australia and out of all the rugby-playing countries they thrive as a team and as a country when they are being written off Make no mistake they will relish this challenge and like all top Test series especially Farrell who after last year’s disappointing World Cup with Ireland deserves a successful Lions tour Scotland and Toulouse ace Kinghorn is nursing a worrying knee injury and will likely miss the start of the tour anyway due to club commitments Scotland and Toulouse ace Blair Kinghorn is nursing a knee injury and will likely miss the start of the tour anyway due to club commitments I've only picked four centres because of Tommy Freeman's ability to cover No 13 and the wing Lowe and Van der Merwe select themselves given their Six Nations form but Freeman’s ability to cover No 13 means that’s not a concern Immanuel Feyi-Waboso hasn’t played since December but if he is fit I think he has a point of difference that is worth gambling on I’d go with Ireland’s Mack Hansen who gets on so well with Farrell he has a tattoo of his face on his leg Scottish pair Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu are my picks to wear 12 and 13 for the Lions Bundee Aki will bring raw power and aggression to the Lions' midfield Had Ollie Lawrence not suffered a serious achilles injury in the Six Nations he’d have very much been in the conversation and made the centre spots a tough decision Aki and Tuipulotu bring raw power and aggression Huw Jones had a great Six Nations and Ringrose is playing well for Leinster Robbie Henshaw would be the next cab off the rank Freeman is an additional option whose best long-term position will be outside centre and not wing It really sums up England's problem position that we have no English player selected here You might say Marcus Smith is fortunate to make my party but I think he’s been harshly done by and a Lions tour might be exactly what he needs to get back firing A change of environment could be a great spark for him and he also offers the ability to play full-back if needed England playing him at 15 was a big mistake for both player and country who can also play at inside centre if needed Sam Prendergast's battle against Smith for Leinster v Northampton this weekend could go a long way to deciding who gets the starting No 10 shirt I don't think he has done enough this season to justify his place in the touring squad I think Fin Smith could also play at No 12 My respect for him as a Test operator is through the roof But I don’t think you can justify him a place following a stop-start season with Racing 92 especially given the strength of his rivals Fin Smith against Prendergast in the Leinster-Northampton game is going to be a fascinating battle I think he’ll have earned his seat on the plane I’d be hugely surprised if any other scrum-halves rival these three Scotland’s Ben White is the only one who I can see doing so Gibson-Park is a certain starter and Mitchell’s importance to Northampton and England is undisputed though I think Williams will have something to say about that But Williams is undoubtedly deserving of his spot Just look at the way he’s been playing for Gloucester Ireland's Jamison Gibson-Park is a certain starter in the Lions scrum-half jersey Tomos Williams is one of just two Wales players in my 37-man squad Tighthead prop Furlong hasn’t played much at all this season due to calf injuries But he should be fit to tour and his class means if that’s the case Stuart has been playing and playing well too there is plenty of time for things still to change it’s going to be a fascinating battle between Porter and Genge for the starting spot He’s a player I would have loved to have coached Sale’s Cowan-Dickie is the third hooker and back up to first-choice Sheehan and his Irish compatriot Kelleher I'm backing all of England's front three - Ellis Genge Luke Cowan-Dickie and Will Stuart - to go to Australia Free-scoring front-rower Dan Sheehan is my pick to be the Lions starting hooker He is in regal form and being promoted to England skipper for the Six Nations took his game to a whole new level entirely The same can happen if he becomes Lions leader having played in all six Tests across 2017 and 2021 I think it will also benefit the Lions not to have an Irish captain too Ireland’s performances undoubtedly mean they deserve to have the strongest representation of the four countries and Farrell’s status as their head coach means he will inevitably lean towards their players Even if there will be no bias to his selection Itoje will bring a different leadership voice to what Farrell is used to and I think that will be a good thing He brings a brute force that any team needs This is probably the most competitive area of selection Doris is probably the only out-and-out No 8 and will be disappointed to miss out on the captaincy to Itoje Curry and Morgan can all play at the back of the scrum Willis is the best player in Europe for me it doesn’t matter that he hasn’t been playing Test rugby and might be late on tour due to his Toulouse commitments It’s ridiculous he’s ineligible for England anyway Jack Willis is the best player in Europe for me Henry Pollock has been sensational and his breakthrough this season is a fantastic story But I think the Lions is still a bit too soon for him Van der Flier and Morgan are brilliant players too And it’s an advantage that both Curry and Morgan are comfortable both sides of the flank as well Versatility is a priceless commodity on a Lions tour especially given he has such fantastic competition I’d send Pollock on England’s tour of Argentina and USA and he could receive a Lions call-up from there Injuries will undoubtedly happen as that’s the nature of the game My Lions Test XV for Australia: Blair Kinghorn (Scotland); Tommy Freeman (England) James Lowe (Ireland); Finn Russell (Scotland) Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland); Ellis Genge (England) The comments below have not been moderated By posting your comment you agree to our house rules Do you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual We will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline To do this we will link your MailOnline account with your Facebook account We’ll ask you to confirm this for your first post to Facebook You can choose on each post whether you would like it to be posted to Facebook.

Farrell’s announcement of his 2025 British and Irish Lions tour squad Clive Woodward has named a 37-strong group – consisting of 14 England players seven Scottish and just two Welsh – that he would like to see travel to Australia Farrell has been on a sabbatical from his Ireland job since the end of last year’s Autumn Nations Series and there is just one weekend of matches – the Champions and Challenge Cup semi-finals – remaining before he declares his hand in London on May 8 It will be no easy task for the former England assistant coach who travelled on the 2013 and 2017 tours as part of Warren Gatland’s staff to cut down his long list of around 75 players to a final squad of between 36 and 38 England’s second-place finish in the recent Six Nations has influenced Woodward’s thinking as he wants to see Maro Itoje captain the Lions squad aside from naming a dozen players who played in recent championship matches for Steve Borthwick the Toulouse-based back-rower currently ineligible for England and Exeter’s fitness-fighting Immanuel Feyi-Waboso in his squad Woodward’s suggested 14-strong England representation was mirrored by his desire to have 14 Ireland players included SIR

game can be felt from East London to the Rose City to the international stage Clive was a beloved player during the Timbers’ golden area of the NASL from 1978-81 as Portland cemented itself as Soccer City USA He helped the Timbers to a pair of NASL playoff appearances and ranked among the club’s assist leaders of that era But Clive’s impact in Portland stretched far beyond the pitch at Civic Stadium He was instrumental in the grass roots development of the sport across the city and was dominant as a collegiate coach at the University of Portland mentored some of the greats of a generation over his 16 years at UP – Cherundolo He was an assistant coach for the men’s national team at the 1998 World Cup and led the men’s Olympic squad that placed fourth in 2000 Early in his playing career

from irrelevance In 1966 and 1967 a group of left-wing intellectuals and radical activists recruited by the nonagenarian philosopher Bertrand Russell constituted themselves into a self-proclaimed ‘tribunal’ to try the United States of America for its conduct in Vietnam After holding hearings in Sweden and in Denmark they convicted the US of waging an illegal war of aggression against Vietnam of ‘genocide against the people of Vietnam’ The verdicts were welcomed by those who were already convinced of America’s immorality in Indochina and mocked by everyone else Even though the American public’s mood eventually soured on the war the Russell Tribunal had little to do with it its main legacy lies in the numerous copycat tribunals it has inspired just like the Russell Tribunal’s condemnations of US policy in Vietnam As Clive Webb candidly admits in Vietdamned: How the World’s Greatest Minds Put America on Trial posterity has been unkind not only to the Tribunal One of Lord Russell’s biographers described his involvement with the venture as well as his anti-Vietnam War activism more broadly designed to prove to himself that he still mattered to the world even as his body was failing Webb aims to rescue the Tribunal from the contemptuous footnotes of history and Russell’s last decade from the embarrassment of his biographers who is in obvious sympathy with the aims of the Tribunal and an admirer of Russell Victorian aristocrat-turned moral prophet of the nuclear age the book is as much a history of the Russell Tribunal as it is a mini-biography of Russell and of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre the latter of whom dominated the Tribunal’s proceedings (Simone de Beauvoir are treated with surprising brevity: the hearings were not very dramatic and Webb’s narrative of the formal portion of the Tribunal is only rescued from descriptive boredom by stories of clashes between its members some of whom achieved a level of personal disagreeableness that is impressive even by the standards of intellectuals with revolutionary pretensions seemed to have been particularly dislikeable; and one cannot help but sympathise with Tito’s decision to saddle the Americans with him by driving him into Western exile Webb casts both Russell and Sartre in a heroic mode truth-tellers fighting against a conspiracy between the State Department and the New York Times who did everything they could to discredit the men and sabotage the proceedings In some of the book’s most interesting pages we learn how the American government managed to block the Tribunal from meeting in Paris and London punished American participants by taking away their passports and spied on the Tribunal using an unidentified but well-placed mole If American newspapers seemed to treat the whole thing as a joke American officialdom was clearly sensitive to its potential impact on world opinion Yet Webb is also too honest to manage to make the two men look heroic but fundamentally unworldly figure who was thoroughly ineffective at politics which is what we expect from our philosophers Sartre fares much worse: as much as Webb tries to portray him as a centrist who was not rabidly anti-American because he liked jazz he cannot gloss over Sartre’s defences of the Soviet Union although he does tend to minimise these and other moral stains on Sartre’s record by writing about them as though they were incidental to his great moral stature both Russell and Sartre were also affected by a naivety that in lesser men would be regarded as straightforward stupidity Russell told the North Vietnamese that ‘the procedures of the Tribunal must be exact and unimpeachable’ to have any effect on Western opinion but never paused to consider the fact that appointing a group whose members were often only distinguishable by the shade of communism they espoused would fatally undermine the Tribunal’s legitimacy Sartre apparently seriously expected the American government to send an emissary to the Tribunal even though one of its members proclaimed that Lyndon B Johnson ‘should be boiled alive in napalm’ Webb cannot quite keep up his defence of the Russell Tribunal In a chapter confusingly titled ‘Vindicated’ he admits that ‘the Tribunal’s narrative of the war was less than entirely reliable’ that ‘its members’ enmity towards US military action blinded them to the barbarities of the North Vietnamese’ and that the Tribunal ‘did not always adhere entirely to the evidence’ particularly when it came to the charge of genocide a charge which Webb does not even attempt to defend Webb writes that although the Russell Tribunal ‘did nothing to bring an end to the war’ and their associates ‘did not get everything right’ they ‘set an important precedent for private citizens seeking to hold to account those in power’ or did the sorry saga illustrate the impotence of ‘civil society’ and the ineffectiveness of intellectuals seeking political change Webb has written the best defence of the Russell Tribunal that any fair-minded historian could have managed; and if he fails at rehabilitating its image it is only because of the unpromising material at his disposal Vietdamned: How the World’s Greatest Minds Put America on TrialClive WebbProfile, 320pp, £22Buy from bookshop.org (affiliate link) Yuan Yi Zhu is Assistant Professor of International

the Anglo-American poet Thom Gunn Clive first met Gunn in 1964 and they remained correspondents and friends until Gunn’s death nearly 40 years later They shared a belief in poetry’s moral purpose – to tell the truth and to have the courage to do so Clive edited a selection of Gunn’s essays, The Occasions of Poetry (1982) editing an annotated Selected Poems (2018) and He edited Dante Gabriel Rossetti: Selected Poems and Translations (1991), and William Morris’s News from Nowhere and Other Writings (1993). His more contemporary political heroes were figures such as Shirley Williams and Roy Jenkins fighting for the common good in public life He once said to me that the current Conservative party was misnamed Clive also championed the work of Ezra Pound and his own poetry was influenced by Pound’s notion of the poet as sculptor working against the grain of language’s resistances He was the prime mover of the Pound centenary exhibition Pound’s Artists: Ezra Pound and the Visual Arts in London at Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge and the Tate Gallery in London in 1985 one for the quatercentenary of the King James Bible He was a member of the National Youth Theatre playing Bottom alongside Helen Mirren in A Midsummer Night’s DreamFor many years Clive worked as an EFL teacher in Cambridge Fitzwilliam and and other colleges started in the mid-1980s and from 1989 to 1992 he was an interviewer for BBC Radio 3’s Poet of the Month series A teaching fellowship came from Sidney Sussex in 2005 He was also a translator, primarily of Hungarian poetry in collaboration with his fellow poet George Gömöri. Translations of poetry by György Petri Miklós Radnóti and János Pilinszky showcased Clive’s technical gifts and he received the Janus Pannonius prize for a lifetime’s achievement in translation from Hungarian and Clive grew up with his mother and elder sister was transformed in his imagination to Sherwood Forest His acting skills developed at Emanuel school helped by an inspirational English teacher In the National Youth Theatre’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1964 he played Bottom alongside Helen Mirren He won a scholarship to study English at King’s College, Cambridge, and graduated in 1967. While there, he was a member of Footlights, but his vocation was poetry. A fellow poet, Michael Vince, recalls Clive James chatting to them at the Footlights bar and admitting: “I leave the poetry to you boys.” The Falls (2000) and The Mystery of Things (2008) are his most critically acclaimed collections will be published by Worple Press later this year Gunn praised Clive’s writing for “its unfaltering clarity … and its faithfulness to its subject matter” explores a theme central to all Clive’s work: the search to find divine pattern in apparent randomness: “immutable change / made and remade / laws finer than any known of men” I recall him leading a group of us around Venice in the footsteps of his hero Receive emails when new obituariesare published to our website We have been serving the residents of the Oxford and surrounding communities for over four decades Our goal is to provide a meaningful and personal tribute to your loved one provides three generations of personalized funeral and cremation services In addition to providing at need services we also offer a comprehensive pre-arrangement program from pre-planning to pre-financing.

Read moreThe party’s full how-to-vote cards were subsequently published online which showed supporters were encouraged to number Climate 200-backed candidates second or third on ballots in several seats including Flinders The Trumpet of Patriots candidate in Flinders, Jason Smart, described the decision as “shocking and sinister” as he urged voters to put him last on polling day in protest Smart said he had only agreed to run as a candidate after being assured by Palmer that teal, Labor and Greens candidates would be placed last on how-to-vote cards. “If Clive Palmer thinks I’m going to put my love for my country to the side so he can try and gain some political relevance, he’s dead wrong,” he said in a statement. The how-to-vote cards prompted a backlash in rightwing circles online, with conservative and anti-windfarm groups questioning why Trumpet of Patriots appeared to be supporting progressive independents. Just hours after early voting opened on Tuesday, Palmer said he had launched an investigation into the “tampering” of the party’s how-to-vote cards. “It has become apparent that a number of our how-to-vote cards have been interfered with,’’ Palmer said. “This incident has not happened in isolation as we have been hacked and had our communications interfered with on previous occasions. “We will be conducting a full investigation into the matter.” Free daily newsletterOur Australian afternoon update breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what’s happening and why it matters Palmer confirmed incumbent Labor and Coalition MPs would still be preferenced last under the updated cards. “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We will be correcting the tampered how-to-vote cards immediately,” he said. Guardian Australia contacted Palmer’s representatives for comment. As Palmer’s statement was issued, a total of 18 how-to-vote cards – including for all seats that preferenced Climate 200-backed candidates second or third – were removed from the party’s website. Read moreParty sources said Palmer had contacted candidates personally on Tuesday providing assurances that new how-to-vote cards would be printed in coming days Psephologist Kevin Bonham predicted Trumpet of Patriots to fall short of even the 4% vote share that Palmer’s old United Australia party secured in 2022 which would not be nearly enough to win a seat in its own right Bonham said he expected the party to account for about 0.5% of the vote in most seats 92-year-old Clive Davis on Saturday night celebrated the 50th anniversary of what quickly became his famous annual pre-Grammy gala performing his classic “Mandy” as video screens cut between today and clips from an appearance he and Davis made on “The Midnight Special” in 1975 “Can you believe Clive looked like that?” Manilow asked the crowd of the debonair record executive who helped shepherd him to stardom Among the acts who performed at that inaugural get-together Kimmel joked as he introduced Davis: “Moses with the Bay City Rollers backing him up.” Yet in the wake of last month’s devastating Los Angeles wildfires, Davis said he’d remade Saturday’s gala as a fundraiser for MusiCares the Recording Academy’s philanthropic arm; he himself had made a “six-figure donation,” he said urging the deep-pocketed in the house to contribute what they could to provide relief to music professionals in need Four of the Grammys’ eight best new artist nominees performed: Doechii, theater-kid exuberant in “Denial Is a River”; Teddy Swims, who growled his “Lose Control” wearing a bedazzled white suit; Shaboozey of his inescapable “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”; and mustachioed Benson Boone new-rock-god resplendent in a leathery jumpsuit as he laid into the high notes of “Beautiful Things.” Jazz singer Samara Joy, who won best new artist at the Grammys in 2023, did Betty Carter’s “Tight,” while gospel star Yolanda Adams channeled Whitney Houston in a solemn but flowery take on “I Will Always Love You.” (Davis almost always takes a moment at his party to remember the singer who died at the Beverly Hilton in 2012 just hours before the event was set to begin.) Post Malone was there too: He sang the wistful “Sunflower” — “my only good song,” per his description — in recognition of Universal Music Publishing Group Chief Executive Jody Gerson who was presented with the Recording Academy’s Industry Icon award Mikael Wood is pop music critic for the Los Angeles Times.
