Not long ago, Scott Morrison jetted off to Hawaii during a national crisis. Now, Peter Dutton ditches Queensland for a billionaire’s mansion as a cyclone looms. Same Coalition, same playbook – when disaster hits, they disappear. Authorised by D. Loasby, GetUp, 52 Reservoir St, Sydney #AusPol

Traditional Owners are warning that removing fracking safeguards puts water, land, and communities at risk. Enough is enough. Stand with Traditional Owners – demand Plibersek pull the water trigger now.

While big promises about Medicare are being made this election, keep in mind that Peter Dutton and the Coalition have a track record of undermining universal healthcare. To keep Medicare strong, we need long-term investment and a system that truly works for everyone.

Two billion tonnes: that’s the expected increase in carbon emissions under Peter Dutton’s nuclear plan, according to new modelling from the Climate Change Authority. It's clearer than ever that our climate and our communities can't afford Dutton's toxic nuclear scheme.

Electoral reforms have passed – but at a cost. There are some wins, like donation caps and real-time transparency. But ultimately, major parties locked in advantages that shut out independents and challengers.

Peter Dutton isn’t even hiding it anymore – he’s Trump-lite. From parroting Trump’s talking points to recycling his divisive culture wars, Dutton is trying to import the worst parts of American politics to Australia. Authorised by L. McKimmie, GetUp, 52 Reservoir Street, Sydney #auspol

Peter Dutton isn’t even hiding it anymore – he’s Trump-lite: the cheap, low-quality knockoff no one asked for. Help us build our election fund to block Dutton’s pathway to power and ensure real solutions win over divisive distractions. LINK IN BIO #auspol #dutton #election #election2025 #australia

It’s back—the flawed Electoral Reform Bill is back on the table. Democracy should belong to the people - we need scrutiny, not a rubber stamp. Sign the petition for fair & transparent elections: www.getup.org.au/people-power... #DemocracyForAll #PeopleOverPolitics #ElectoralReform

Peter Dutton’s ‘efficiency plan’ sounds like it’s straight from billionaire Gina Rinehart’s wishlist. Coincidence? Whatever it is, the plan means cutting jobs and drastic cuts that hurt everyday people across Australia. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Your voices, your presence, and your solidarity are powerful. We talked to people in Garramilla/Darwin about what January 26 means to them, & the message is clear: the fight for Truth, Treaty, & Justice must continue. Sovereignty was never ceded. The struggle continues. Always was, always will be.

Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest billionaire, cheered on Trump at his inauguration & called his divisive politics a model for Australia. She’s also thrown her support behind Peter Dutton, urging us to ‘watch and learn’ from Trump’s playbook. Is this the leadership we want shaping our nation?

If you’re wondering why costs keep rising, here’s a piece of the puzzle: our economic system is hardwired to favour big corporations and billionaires. Corporate monopolies are driving excessive profits for the few, leaving rising costs and underfunded services for the rest of us.

January 26 is a day to stand in solidarity with First Nations people calling for change & demanding Treaty, Truth- Telling, ending black deaths in custody & protecting cultural heritage. All times reflect local time zones. #invasionday #survivalday

If the Albanese government’s bill to limit Big Money in politics comes back, will it deliver the reform we need? We have a short explainer video on what’s at stake and why bold reform is essential for our democracy. 🎥 Watch on Youtube here: www.getup.org.au/electoral-re...

Imperial Oil and Gas, a subsidiary of Empire Energy, has 'inadvertently' released two thousand litres of contaminated fracking water from the Carpentaria-5 well site. Tanya Plibersek must act now, stop work on the ground & demand a proper assessment of Empire Energy’s water & environmental impacts.

We all know who Peter Dutton really is – someone who divides communities, fuels fear, and protects the wealthy over everyday people. Australia deserves leaders who unite us – not tear us apart. Source: www.theyvoteforyou.org.au

We’re sending strength and solidarity to those affected by the current LA wildfires and recent climate disasters around the world. Climate change - fuelled by coal, oil and gas - is making extreme weather events like these more frequent, more intense and more devastating.

When billionaires and politicians dine together, it's not just lunch – it's the cost of our democracy. Big money in politics means decisions are made behind closed doors, leaving everyday people out in the cold.

No one should get away with spreading lies. But right now, there are no federal truth in political advertising laws to stop vested groups from spending millions to spread misinformation. #Auspol #ElectoralReform #FightMisinfo #DefendDemocracy #TruthInAds #FairElections #StopTheLies

The call for a treaty has been on the national agenda since the late 1970s, led by First Nation campaigners across the country. Australia is the only Commonwealth nation without a Treaty with its First Nations people. This Invasion Day we’re calling for a treaty now! #invasionday #treatynow
