Data shows just 2 per cent of total capital raised in Australia in 2024 went to all-female founded teams in 2024. Some of Australia's leading entrepreneurs and investors think Australia should ignore Donald Trump and instead follow California's lead to make diversity reporting mandatory.

It seems typical that certain media are attacking Labor's Medicare bulk billing plan as irresponsible, while elsewhere they are praising Dutton for promising to do the same thing. Could the media be any more obvious in their bias?

When the media reports that Dutton "wrongly says" they SHOULD report "Liberal Leader Peter Dutton deliberately LIED" (given Dutton served as Home Affairs Minister and KNOWS that people must be lawful residents for 4yrs before they can even apply for citizenship and then vote.) #auspol #AusVotes2025
