@elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social Congratulations on a well run campaign Ellie. The result may not have gotten you the seat, but when the dust settles it’ll be obvious to anyone paying attention how crucial a role you played in removing Dutton from power.

The majors have known about supermarket price gouging for years—but when you’re a backbencher or even a frontbencher, you’re bound to the party line. I can speak out when others can’t.

Sometimes, backing the same team year after year just doesn’t bring the change we need. This time, more people—like Peter, a local who’s been volunteering with our campaign—are choosing to vote differently, backing real community representation. Want change? Vote for it.

At the leaders’ debate, Peter Dutton said he would be happy to have a nuclear power plant in Dickson. Has he ever asked the people of Dickson? I support immediate energy solutions: home solar, a battery program, and energy bill rebates.
