Threatening to sack the Chair of an independent authority because you don’t like a report he’s released is Trumpian. It’s so important we don’t go down that road. Really irresponsible behaviour from the Liberal Party. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... Of course the messenger will have to be shot. Trump play book again. Simply removing the message won’t change physics or global reality. It just makes the eventual pain worse.

Independents have shown for years that they can be a force for positive change in parliament for the communities they represent. It wouldn't be possible without volunteers and I am honoured that 850+ people from across the ACT have signed up to Team Pocock for my campaign.

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love. This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When Dutton tries to portray himself as some caring, loving family man, remember he was the callous, inhuman border force minister who ignored the evidence and findings and locked this family including two little girls up on Chrismas Island. Is this the kind of person you want running the country?

Undoubtedly also the case in Australian newsrooms including at the ABC, the national broadcaster. All that talk of the imperative of displaying "impartiality" while oozing pro-Israel bias from every pore. Unforgivable. #auspol #FreePalestine www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

ALP/LNP franchise holders prefer paying for natural disaster relief than making real efforts to reduce emissions. Breaking up insurance companies does nothing to reduce the risks that are the basis for premiums. Another LNP distraction. #AusVotes2025 #Climatedisaster

Doorknocking in shit weather only swings more votes. 1. People are more likely to be home. 2. When they open the door, people are so shocked to see you that they invariably chat - and you end up having more conversations, and fewer "not interested" folk.

The climate crisis is exacerbating cost-of-living: 🟠 Insurance premiums soar with more natural disasters 🟠 Food is up 20% since 2020, as climate disruptions wipe out harvests 🟠 Energy costs remain high due to a reliance on fossil fuels, underinvestment in renewables, and fossil fuel exports

There has been a lot of stupid fear-mongering from the major parties about the "instability" and "chaos" of minority government. This latest cosy stitch-up is yet further proof that Australia's future is best served with progressive independent voices having the balance of power. #auspol
