"Much of Australia’s commercial media, and the ABC, have joined in this wilful conflation of legitimate criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism. It’s at the heart of the ABC’s sacking of Antoinette Lattouf." But Dutton is the master. #LattoufvABC www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/12/p...

Alex Dyson is in from $5 to $3.50. The betting markets still have no idea about independents. They gave Cathy McGowan $50-to-1 They gave Monique Ryan $6.50-to-1 One day they’ll do headcounts and estimate the impact of grassroots voter engagement on results… and betting odds will be much lower.

What with the Trump shitshow, the world is feeling like a really unsafe place. I know Australians are feeling anxious about what Trump-inspired Dutton would mean for us! I’m channeling my concern into action - letterboxing for Louise Miller-Frost in marginal SA seat of Boothby. Let’s block Dutton!

The Govt has decided to do nothing on gambling ads and it seems industry may have had a hand in this outcome. Today I’ll ask the Senate to agree to an inquiry into this, so we can see how much influence industry has over this public health policy. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/888391...

The media’s headlines on donations to independents are misleading—the real story is in the numbers. The graph makes it clear: the major parties still receive the vast majority of political donations. Yet the government is pushing electoral reforms that serve as a payday for political parties

My policy to lower tax for small business offers serious reform that will support businesses long term, putting money back in the hands of small business owners to let them decide how to reinvest or grow their business.

We urgently need electoral reform, but the govt’s electoral reform bill protects major party interests and undermines democracy. It must be sent to inquiry to ensure fairer donation laws and election integrity. #aupol #Integrity #TruthInPoliticalAdvertising #VoterProtections

With an election on the horizon it’s worth reflecting on the achievements & disappointments, not least this Fed Gov’s abandonment of environmental law reform & a gambling advertising ban. Moving forward the next gov must reprioritise what matters most to our communities. #auspol #politas
