Because integrity in politics is under attack: around the world, and in Australia.
We know conservatives here are looking at campaigns like Trump's and Brexit with envy. And those campaigns have one big tactic at their core:
JUST TELL LOTS OF LIES TO WIN POWER
In a democracy, the people (ideally) have the power to choose the nation's future each election.
But that power is stolen from them if they're misinformed about what the alternatives on the ballot paper represent.

1. Cost of living (+ the wider economy)
2. Energy
Liberals have little policy around either, but they're banking on swaying votes by lying to people about what's going on, and what their plans are.
(With support from the Nationals, AND Murdoch media! 🤯)
Don't let voters walk into the ballot booth with a head full of lies.
Our collector cards aim to educate people with simple facts how Liberals are misinforming them and their friends.
(And so often, we can make a set of collector cards!)
You're the bomb!
But here's the catch:
We're not going to change any voters' minds if the only people seeing these cards are the crowd that were posting #NeverDutton #NeverLNP anyway.
