so letā€™s help the independents run strong counter campaignsā€¦ because politics is too important to leave to coal executives like those charming fellows from ā€˜coal australiaā€™ and their astroturf LNP campaigners. šŸ™ please donate šŸ’ø www.climate200.com.au/campaign/fig...

ā€¦but we canā€™t take independents' re-election for granted. remember when dr kerryn phelps was elected as the independent member for #wentworth but narrowly lost her re-election campaign in 2019? we canā€™t let that happen again.

itā€™s super clear: pro-climate independents are a clear threat to the coal lobbyā€™s stranglehold on australian politics. independents are proof that when australians take politics into their own hands, real change is possible.

who is ā€˜australians for progressā€™? the AFR called it a grassroots organisationā€¦ which couldn't be more wrong. ā€¦itā€™s really a coal industry funded LNP astroturf (fake grassroots) group started by failed liberal MP julian simmonds, former member for ryan who lost his seat to the greens in may 2022.
