Before and after our community clean up. We are neglected here in Groom and our council can’t keep the weeds and glass out of the play areas. We need a federal regional infrastructure fund to fix this imbalance for our children. Play is good.

Tough night on the job last night. Nursing is tough but shouldn’t be dangerous. If we want to maintain a functioning health system then we must do better for our nurses. #nurse #auspol25

Let’s remove all money out of politics. Cap election spending at $50k, per candidate, per election. Simple.

This is something! And needs to be supported. At last, something for women.

Trump is like a rabid dog attacking the shins of democracy, with the Lib/Lab duopoly seemingly happy for the disease to spread. Surely the sanctity of ‘care’ is more important than this.

Trump: Discrimination against Women and Transgender. Suggestions of War Crimes, Ethnic Cleansing and invasion. Threats to marine life. Acts of revenge. Dutton: Trumps a big thinker. Albanese: Crickets.

Yes, I will definitely be very strongly opposing the AUKUS deal. Australia should not entertain further military ties with a country proposing ethnic cleansing and war crimes, nor one criticising the ICC that was set up to deal with such horrific abuses of Human Rights.

Trumps ‘Riviera of the Middle East’ comments exposes a mind of cruelty and greed, and that real peace is too difficult for such people. Peace is not displacement.

Peter Dutton has called Trump a shrewd, big thinking, deal maker. Is this his description of ethnic cleansing? Appalling.

I will be strongly opposing the $368 billion AUKUS deal, that is one of the worst deals in Australia’s history. #scrapaukus

In view of increasing information and current international developments, I will not be supporting the $368 billion AUKUS deal.

Australia, in the modern state, has been built on immigration. We are, who we are because of this. To live in peace, we must accept our past, our present and our future as a multicultural nation. Our strength and unity is in the love, recognition and respect for every culture.

I will always stand up for what is important to the lives of the people of Groom. As a regional area, we continue to be neglected when it comes to funding and resources.

Fighting for Groom. We are so sick of being ignored.

I’ll be focusing on policy that ensures that adequate numbers of teachers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, from Australia, are trained, retained and able to work. The well documented shortages are crippling our education and healthcare systems, and we all lose because of it.

The Government's Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) is supposed to build 55,000 homes over 5 years, 918 per month, a drop in the bucket compared to monthly housing approvals. Building more houses is welcome, but more needs to be done or housing will get further out of reach for many. 🔗⤵️ #auspol

This game of being elected is hard. How many votes do you give up to maintain integrity? For me, the ones that come from corporate donations along with the ones from X.

Now I’m angry! Dog whistle Dutton is tooting to the ‘disenfranchised and ostracised’ males, calling them back to the track. What track is that Peter? The women beating and abusing one? The rule of thumb still exists in this country, and no doubt, Dutton wants it thicker.

Our first 15 sec introduction ad has just started to air, thanks to fantastic local sponsorship. As the only true Independent in Groom, and aiming to remove big money from politics, I do not take donations from corporations.

Our community supported signs have started to go up. We might be the quiet achievers online and on air but our community connections on the ground are solid. The only thing that matters!

Dutton is fixated on a flag and a single date. Neither of these will close the gap, fix the housing shortage, bring the cost of living down, get money out of politics or tax the large corporations like they ought to be taxed. Pity he has nothing but a flag and a date to bumble over.

This is Eliza. Like the Gen Z stereotype, she’s always on her phone. But that’s because she’s our volunteer coordinator. Eliza organises events and serves as a reliable point of call. If you sign up to volunteer you might receive a call from her shortly. kirstiesmolenski.com/volunteer
