What was the point of NACC? Ah, that was the point. So many Australians were hurt by #Robodebt. Some of us died. Accountability? Time to vote Cross Bench. Put your local Greens or Teals ahead of "shit and shitter". Make sure you #PutLNPLast oops that's really #PutGinaLast #asupol.

Mr Dutton said yesterday about 2m businesses will be able to claim a tax deduction of up to $20,000pa under his small business lunches plan. And he's also said it'll cost $250m over 2 yrs. But here's the problem. If they all claim it, as he says they can, each business can only get $250pa. #auspol

Is Dutton's #PimpAndDump nuclear plan really about the world's nuclear waste? Get elected, change the laws, take the waste and forget about ever having to build these white elephants. Plus capping clean energy at only 54% (we're on track for 50% by 2030). cleanenergycouncil.org.au/news-resourc...

Great thread from the #VoteClimate campaign launch for #KooyongVotes It's time for voters to know where the candidates stand on forests, on public transport & EVs, more #renewables, going electric to drop the cost of energy bills. Dave Sweeney was inspirational! #YestoRenewablesNotoNuclear #auspol

Competition in the insurance sector isn't the heart of the problem & Peter Dutton's divistiture policy isn't going to solve the cost to insure in high-risk flood zones. To do that those costs would have to be spread across the whole community. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Looks like a repeat of the Qld LNP state election campaign. Little policy & no costings (remember David Fully-Costed). Make any old claim & even if fact-checked enough media will have repeated it. The election slogan is set as "Peter Dutton Says". #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

A win for Dutton would be a win for Gina, and for big tech. Our data is not safe. This is urgent - we need to get moving on political campaigning or we will have the LNP asset stripping Australia for parts. Time to stand up! #VoteClimate #auspol in #AusVotes2025

4 pages of Dutton-speil in today's Herald Sun (pp 6-9) and all Murdoch tabloids. No four pages for Albo or an independent though. "Balance" hey? And tomorrow night there's Dutton's 'exclusive' on Sixty Minutes. So that's Dutton getting a free ride from Murdoch & Nine, who own the other papers.

For decades Australians have been told a lie. We’ve been told that only the major parties can govern. But do you feel like they’ve been solving the problems we face? As a voter said, “It’s a choice between sht, and shtter.” #auspol #IndependenceWorks #ZoeDaniel

A real privilege to hear Dave Sweeney - he really knows his stuff. Not surprising that ICAN won a Nobel Peace prize. Nuclear is a health hazard, a security threat, grossly expensive and slow and caps renewables. Find out more about nuclear in our info page here lighterfootprints.org/why-risk-nuc...

Gratifying to see such a change in Kooyong/Boroondara after so many years of effort. 10/11 councillors are climate progressives - a stunning result for a "blue ribbon" seat.

And listen or read. With an Aust Fed election just months away, it has become imperative that voters understand the tactics & tricks that secretive think-tanks deploy, especially Advance Australia that was accused of spreading misinformation during the Voice referendum & the US elections. #auspol

Amidst all the criticism of the ABC, a reminder of why the public broadcaster is essential: a very good story by Wimmera ABC journo Julia Bergin on electoral office rorts lets by MP Anne Webster. Local regional media would be too sacred to touch this story www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Robodebt. The worst scandal in public sector history. Over 400,000 Australians hit with false debts, ruining lives. We must learn the lessons and make sure it never happens again. @pennyallmanpayne.com and I on the job.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

In her NPC address, Independent MP for Goldstein @zoedaniel.bsky.social sums-up the duopoly of Labor or the Coalition: "It's a choice between shit and shitter." She's not wrong. Labor rptedly fails to uphold Labor values. And the LNP is now a tool of the Fossil Fuels industry. #auspol #AusVotes2025
