Lies include "emissions declined under the Liberals, flatlined under Labor" Katie Allen: Chisholm Forum. Plus she said she was responsible for everything that mattered in climate action, getting to net zero by 2050. Were we to get the impression she had changed the LNP climate policy all by herself.

Katie Allen says AEMO's modelling sucks. But Frontier didn't have a two year whole of industry and stakeholder consultation process with ongoing methodology reviews. They used our faithful friend GIGO to deliver - nuclear "cheaper" by shoving costs into the second half in a way smaller NEM! #auspol

Dutton is drunk on the idea of being #TemuTrump Only 8 weeks to make sure the LNP (Gina) doesn't destroy the institutions that make up our society and way of life. Look how well that is working out in the US! Let's do everything we can to ask people to #VoteClimate #VoteKids #VoteCommunity #auspol

As recently as Nov 2022, wannabe prime minister had apparently never heard home or industrial size batteries. Is this a person who can be taken at all seriously about power options? simonchapman6.com/2022/11/22/d...

I had a chance to chat to Michelle Grattan from @theconversation.com about how the Greens will use their power in a minority government. We're focused on climate, housing, cost of living, accessible healthcare & education and keeping Dutton out! Full podcast: theconversation.com/politics-wit...

"The right has shifted almost monolithically away from values once prized by both liberals and conservatives, like respect for institutions, evidence-based policymaking and the rule of law." @keanebernard.bsky.social on the death of liberalism under Dutton www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/19/p...

Australians born overseas or having one parent born overseas is about 49% of the population. I'm no mathematician but that's seems to be a fuckton of eligible voters to me.

Great to see @docsenvaus.bsky.social all fired up at the #ChisholmVotes forum. Our doctors do not think #NuclearIsGoodForHumanity. It's toxic: under 5's have more than double rate of leukaemia at under 5k from a well behaved nuclear reactor. There would be 18 years worth of extra emissions! #auspol

I visited the Permian oil fields last March. This article in The Hill today does a great job of outlining the polycrisis in the Permian. If the water doesn't poison you, the air will.

Energy plan? What energy plan? Peter Dutton wants to override scrutiny on major projects, reverse the support we need to build our future energy sector and waste billions of taxpayer dollars on his nuclear fantasy. #auspol

$5bn on helping households lower their energy bills and make and store their own energy sounds like a winner to me! We'd need less powerlines, less grid, less gas. Oh wait.. less gas? Mmm. renewaustraliaforall.org/repower-our-...

Anyone telling you that we need to drill for more gas to fix a domestic gas shortage is lying. There's one way to ensure more gas and lower energy bills for Australians, and that's to cut exports. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

The Australian 'newspaper' is not going to let facts get in the way of a good story: The Oz has falsely claimed that there are plans to extend the life of Yallourn Power Station. 'DEECA, AEMO & EnergyAustralia have confirmed that the claims are wrong'. www.premier.vic.gov.au/statement-mi...

Clearly nuclear is not the way to go says Carina, but what about Labor's 28 extra coal & gas approvals. Community batteries? Why not extend solar support to household batteries? $50bn over 10 years to repower our homes is a lot less than $600bn for nuclear! renewaustraliaforall.org/repower-our-...

Approving Woodside's huge gas export plant for another 50 years would mean approving: 🔴 Higher energy bills for West Australians 🔴 90 million tonnes of emissions per year (as much as 12 coal power stations) 🔴 Destroying ancient Murujuga rock art And for what? They pay minimal royalties & no PRRT.

Ah Peter Dutton, the Gollum of Australian politics!

submitted 17 days ago • 1 comment

Dutton wants the power to deport dual citizens, despite the High Court saying 'no'. He wants a doomed referendum. Liberals once believed in courts untainted by politics. But Dutton embraced Trumpism, where courts are but a nuisance & cruelty the point. Will you vote for this man, #Sturt Liberals?

Bad enough ALP seem to be approving Woodside but why does Dutton want fast track approval? Wants to exacerbate climate crisis? Or wants to destroy invaluable aboriginal rock art? Or both? @richarddenniss.bsky.social @simonahac.bsky.social @simonrosenberg.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

With the rise in climate disasters around Aust, how does this affect our ability to be prepared now? What’s the impact on insurances? This is a bipartisan issue yet LNP & Dutton don’t care if farms get flooded, houses burn or people drown Resist Trump Resist LNP www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

This article lists the damage that Trump and Musk are doing to science - cutting research and attempting to erase data on climate (or anything that analyses society in sections - gender, race, sexual orientation). This is affecting us in Australia. #auspol theconversation.com/trumps-war-o...

Last election, the Coalition ran a campaign claiming independents were powerless and could achieve nothing. This election they’re complaining independents are too influential in their advocacy. 😅 Here’s SOME of what they’ve achieved… www.indiewins.com.au

It's urgent. We have to campaign for our communities, our culture, even the future of scientific research. Not to mention climate. Voting for Hamer / Allen means getting Dutton. Voting for Hamer means getting Lang Hancock's daughter who has ordered a DOGE. We have to get off our butts #AusVotes2025

We'd love your help in #ChisholmVotes -we don't want to pay for seven toxic nuclear reactors that could cost up to $600bn for less than 5% power needs at 2050. For half or a third of that we could be at 24/7 100% clean energy with plenty left over for exports! lighterfootprints.org/chisholm-vot...

Last week in Dickson, independent @elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social – who is running the largest campaign in the seat – organised 73 volunteer-driven outreach and visibility events. Markets have responded. A massive change already, as people are noticing the unprecedented scale of her campaign.

Just caught this ad. @elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social is right. This is a battle between the DEEP POCKETS of Dutton’s mining mates, and the T-SHIRTS of Ellie’s volunteers. She needs 200-300 new shirts for new volunteers who’ll have 30,000 extra voter convos by polling day. Winning it vote-by-vote
