QLD LNP strikes again šŸ˜”

independentaustralia.net/politics/pol.... I am sick of the LNP's lies - the mainstream media NEVER question them.

independentaustralia.net/politics/pol... From Independent Australia 21st February 2025

šŸ™„

Looks like Crisafulla-shyte & the QLD LNP are swiping QLD Laborā€™s programs & initiatives & making out they are the ones who should be congratulated for getting them up & running. Cristafulli hasnā€™t got an original idea in his head. Heā€™s either stealing Labor initiatives or enacting Newman policies.

Mark Butler goes back to when Dutton as Health Minister was condemned by GPs for trumpeting ā€œskewed & misleadingā€ data & when he ā€œtried to abolish bulk billing altogetherā€ Says b/billing went into ā€œfree fallā€ as a ā€œdirect result of a deliberate decision made by Peter Duttonā€ youtu.be/BR7O9pkx2qo?...

Opinion | "[It's] a grubby deal between Labor and the Coalition that hands tens of millions more in taxpayer dollars to the major parties and attempts to lock in their incumbency."

ABC sycophancy erodes our democracy ā€” Kym Davey #auspol #ABCFAIL johnmenadue.com/abc-sycophan...

Managing director with exceedingly poor judgement, founded on unrecallable specifics, admits that process of removing Lattouf "completely abnormal from start to finish" David Anderson sure earned that vote of no confidence from ABC staff!

Those headlines saying young men are "gravitating towards" and "wildly more keen" on Peter Dutton are... based on a poll that showed most young men actually prefer Albanese outright (by 18pts, no less). I unpacked it in the newsletter today:

In case anybody missed it - as it has conveniently dropped out of MSM lest there be any negativity associated with Dutton & the coalition pre-election The Lehrmann saga continues with Bruce seeking a judge-alone trial I donā€™t have to wonder why he would be doing that www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Duttonā€™s nuclear plan has been a dead plan since the day they announced it. Itā€™s been dead to Australia since the 1970ā€™s. Itā€™s expensive, & is only a tool to extend the life of fossil fuels. Nuclear wonā€™t meet the financial or climate requirements of future Australia, but renewables will #auspol

MAGA controls Dutton. Donā€™t doubt it for a second. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Malcolm Turnbull on Peter Dutton. Ouch. #auspol #ausvotes2025

Liberals who left office with interest rates rising & inflation at 6.1% are rightly embarrassed today after Jim Chalmers has not only secured 2 surpluses in a row but bought inflation back under control. Meanwhile Angus Taylor insists heā€™s not crying, just something in his eye.

@mfwitches.bsky.social are working so hard to get advertisers off the grotesque morning show that is Kyle and Jackie O. These people are misogynist haters and that kids get to hear them is truly awful. Meanwhile here's some quotes from the pig of a man. Please join in lobbying advertisers to stop.

The December Qtr Consumer Price Index with 4 year low inflation rate should be a game changer in the political debate. if the RBA does not cut rates a new Board should be appointed before it crashes the economy.

Iā€™m more disappointed in Albo than most. But the notion that the illiterate, racist thug and Queensland ex-cop Dutton would be a better PM is a joke. Dutton is a flake, an inch-deep cynical opportunist funded by fascists like Gina Rinehart. He needs to be kicked into the dustbin of history.

My latest in The Echo. The Albanese govt's reforms are not being given the credit they deserve. The focus group-driven mantra of a ā€˜do nothingā€™ govt cannot be sustained if our erstwhile political commentators bothered to look at what the govt has actually done #auspol www.echo.net.au/2025/01/main...

This will harm millions of seniors in America.

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today? I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites" I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now

If I was mean I could let the two words ā€˜Peter Duttonā€™ speak for themselves. A talentless dog whistler, who has been an extreme failure in every ministry he held. Having said that, he seems like the best in the LNP have to offer. And that, rather than being laughable is downright scary. #auspol

What a surprise to find RW nutjack group Advance opening spreading whale death lies & propaganda re renewables. The No campaign wasnā€™t enough bat shyte fokwittery for them They are emulating US tactics & infiltrating community groups on SM with lies & misinformation theklaxon.com.au/anti-voice-g...

Ten facts Peter Dutton and right wing commentators donā€™t want you to know about progress in the Australian economy under @australianlabor.bsky.social #10 Weā€™ve reduced debt and interest costs. #auspol #ausecon

Australia, do not let the Queensland LNP get control of our country. We failed to stop them in 2024. You can't see it but you're in grave danger. You don't know how awful it was under the Joh & Newman eras. I would rather Scott Morrison as PM. Vote in 2025. #auspol

A 13-year-old boy stabs a 63-year-old woman working at Coles .. .. and not ONE thing in the entire MSM about ā€œyouth crimeā€ connected to it. It appears things like this are only related to ā€œyouth crimeā€ when Labor are in power. The media are pathetic RW sycophantic foghorning flogs.

ā€˜Australian is reporting on ā€˜leaked CEC pollingā€™ that shows regional voters support renewable energy rather than nuclear power due to concerns about environmental impacts & the promise of economic opportunities from large-scale wind & solar projects.ā€™ Well, thatā€™s inconvenient šŸ„”#auspol #AusVotes25

Duttons hate has no bounds

Postcards of Widdle Duttsie alternately shitting on: - African Australians - Lebanese Australians - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians ā€¦ but holding a special place in his heart for *white South Africans*. šŸŽ¶ Here he comes, Mr Disunity, here he comes, the Temu Trump šŸŽ¶

Ten facts Peter Dutton and right wing commentators donā€™t want you to know about progress in the Australian economy under @australianlabor.bsky.social #8: Weā€™ve delivered the first back-to-back surpluses in almost two decades. #auspol #ausecon

The median super account balance for Australians under 40 is ~$57-60K Many Australians who'd like to buy a house don't actually have $50K sitting in their super account. As usual, Peter Dutton is talking baseless, unadulterated shit.

You might have seen reports of the Liberal Party whining that I, as your community independent, spend too much time "opposing the opposition." Hereā€™s what the major parties donā€™t get: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THEM. ITā€™S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THEM. ITā€™S ABOUT YOU. šŸ§µ

Starter Packs are a great way to connect with folks you might not get to meet. Thanks for these, #KingResist

Peter Dutton wants to keep Australians angry & fearful, so they're distracted from the fact that his ONLY policy is to serve the interests of Gina Rinehart. The Liberal Party's only goal is to protect the profits of the fossil fuels industry. Voters in Dickson can #DumpDutton. #auspol #AusVotes2025

MY LATEST: 'Prime Minister-in-waiting' Peter Dutton faces a three-cornered fight against Ali France (Labor) and a 'Teal' independent - in his seat of Dickson (Qld) simply to stay an MP, much less become PM. @ajgardineresq.bsky.social reports: michaelwest.com.au/duttons-dick...

When OL Peter Dutton claims he wants to cut govt spending, he means: cuts to #health, #education, #welfare AND outsourcing essential public service work to consultancy firms owned by Liberal Party donors at 3x the cost. šŸ˜  #auspol
