‘Peter Dutton is avoiding visiting any of the seven sites for his proposed #nuclear reactors, Anthony Albanese and the Labor party claim, arguing the issue has become “radioactive” for the Coalition.’ ☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️ #auspol #AusVotes26 #DontRiskDutton www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“It really hurts me to see young people locked out of the housing market” says hypocrite Dutton. Whose political party, over three decades, has made the greatest contribution to that outcome. #LeadersDebate #HousingCrisis #ausvotes

Dutton: "People have seen food prices go up by 30%." That's a lie (they went up by 12%) #leadersdebate

No doubt that Clare O’Neil wiped the floor with Michael Sukar at the #NPC housing ‘debate’. But the big take: Not ONE comment from the speakers or ONE journalist question about the need for tax reform. The major parties and media are way out of touch with voters. #HousingCrisis #ausvotes #auspol

Can the ABC get its headlines correct. The ticker under Dutton should read 'Labor, and the Coalition, pledge to retake control of the Port of Darwin'. The PM made the announcement first not Dutton. Accuracy matters. #auspol

Always worth remembering the previous Coalition Government actively encouraged port privatisations through its so-called “asset recycling” scheme which gave the NT CLP an incentive bonus of nearly $20m to privatise the port of Darwin #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The federal government has announced $7 million in funding for fodder, as part of a disaster relief package for Queensland's flood-ravaged west.

Dear ABC News, Here's BBC News fact-checking Trump. I remember when the ABC partnered with AAP FactCheck to verify politicians' claims. Sadly, the ABC is no longer a trusted news source. It rarely debunks outrageous lies and often misrepresents the facts.😔 #auspol www.bbc.com/news/article...
