Just waiting for Twitter to die.
Scott Morrison during COVID:

▶️ Abandoned responsibility to the states
▶️ Failed to order vaccines
▶️ Pitted NSW & Vic against each other
▶️ Declared NSW the 'gold standard'
▶️ Lied about ADF in respect to hotel quarantine

Leadership? More like criminal negligence. #auspol

The Prime Minister travelling internationally is obviously important.

Climate, women and moving back to the centre.

We asked these questions of the Liberal Party in 2022.

I suspect we will be asking these questions again in 2028.

More pork barreling & deception from Amelia Hamer!

She's promising to fund the restoration of the Michael Tuck Stand.

But this is another fully funded Council project that is already underway.

Here's the proof 👇

Amelia Hamer last year vs Amelia Hamer yesterday.

Crazy how quickly messaging changes once the media outs your $20m trust fund & two investment properties.

Australia’s embrace of independent political candidates shows there’s no such thing as a safe seat
The surge of successful independent MPs at the 2022 election shows no sign of changing – and in fact may grow more powerful still.

No point interviewing Angus Taylor.

All negativity. No ideas or solutions of his own.

Has anyone ever won an election with a promise of sacking between 36,000 & 41,000 workers?

Seems like crazy politics to me.

Not sure how Dutton is going to deliver a budget reply.

Apart from Nuclear, banning WFH & tax-free lunches, he doesn't have any policies.

A $268 tax cut is just over $5 a week.

I believe the Northern Territory is the only jurisdiction where rent can be increased more than once a year?

Meaning this statement on renter rights, for most Australians, is just complete bullshit.

Watching @simonahac.bsky.social dismantle one misconception after another during questions at the National Press Club today is fascinating.

This tidbit stands out:

"My entire investment in the wind industry is a share in a co-operative that owns 2 wind turbines built 15 years ago."

Trump: Tariffs on everyone. No exemptions.

Dutton: "I'll get an exemption"

Labor's 'electoral reform' doesn't make elections fairer.

It's all about self-preservation & it's full of loopholes.

Like their expenditure cap.

It has a sneaky exemption that allows the major parties to always outspend independents.

Did you know candidates get $3.386 per vote?

1 in 3 voters now give their first preference to minor parties & independents.

That means less public funding for the major parties.

And that's why they struck a deal to give themselves $5 per vote.

Climate 200's mantra is to "go broke every week".

Every cent you donate goes straight to supporting community campaigns.
