Was a career public servant - good to see independents returning integrity to the task of government - gardening, brumbies rugby and golf in any spare time.

The major parties don’t want a duty of care on climate because it would mean they’d have to put Australians & our futures ahead of the fossil fuel industry - an industry that is putting short term profits ahead of people & our future.

Let’s change that this election👇

Crippling food & grocery prices are a huge part of the cost-of-living pain Australians feel.

Really disappointing to see govt introduce the mandatory code on the second last sitting day - too late for it to pass parli this year.

Get your priorities right

Govt openly admitting it wants to entrench the two-party system 🤯

But communities around the country want to see more competition & authentic representation

🇦🇺ns pay the price for duopolies & lack of competition

Gutless from Govt.

There’s a clear path through parliament for gambling advertising reform with support of crossbench - even the coalition to a point.

Why won’t they prioritise an issue that’s so important to our communities & protecting young people?
