Thread on the LNP's ongoing denial of the science of climate change - by Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Energy and Climate Change. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25

Mr Dutton’s responses on climate change in last night’s leaders’ debate, along with a string of climate damaging policies, reveal the Coalition is out of touch on a major issue affecting voters’ lives. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25 www.acf.org.au/denying-clim...

Agree. Totally ironical Speers tried to skewer Albo on power prices while Trump fanboy Dutton confirms Climate Wars which gave us high power prices will continue apace as climate science denial alive and well in #lnpneveragain ! #auspol #election2025

"We're going to stop free Tafe" "We're going to fast track tradie visa's" Sukkar #NPC (Although they are already on fast track list like nurses & doctors etc.) #AusPol

So Peter Dutton thinks it is a catastrophic failure on the prime minister and foreign minister’s part that they did not know that a non existent Russian military base request to Indonesia did not happen. No scruples, no balance.

Dutton refers to the CSIRO as a "green environmental group". Does he think it's an insult to call Australia's pre-eminent science org environmentally responsible?! Under Dutton, the Coalition is no better than Pauline Hanson's One Nation. #auspol #AusVotes25 #science #Climate #environmentalism

Well done Peter. Good job. #auspol #DumpDutton #NoOzDOGE

Check out who the Liberal party are preferencing second in #Kooyong. That's right - the transphobic, homophobic, misogynist bible-thumpers of #FamilyFirst. Preference suggestions tell us much about the core values of the candidate making the recommendation. #auspol

Hmmmm... #auspol

Never forget what they got up to last time they were in. #RejectDutton #NeverAgain #May3

Even the VIC Libs don't want a bar of Dutton’s toxic and irresponsible nuclear policy. #auspol #springst www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Its not the Boomers as the main cause of housing unaffordability, its Gen-x who have taken real estate investing to another level, dominated the market. They hold far more property as a cohort. Dutton is Gen-x, Scott Morrison is Gen-X for instance www.smh.com.au/national/bac... #auspol #ausvotes25

Under John Howard, the Liberal Party took the principled stance of preferencing One Nation last. All that has changed under Dutton. One Nation are now the Liberal Party's 4th preference. #auspol #ausvotes

Dutton is ducking dodging and weaving, but the blows, some self-inflicted, keep coming. He looks to the corner for support and his seconds have no idea. One more blow and he'll hit the canvas. He will get up, however, he and his campaign are running out of puff. #auspol

Angus Taylor as Opposition Leader? The Liberals must really want to stay in opposition. No vision, no credibility, and no clue. Australia deserves better than this tired, hollow politics. #auspol #AngusTaylor

Sky News Australia (via News Pty) paid British MP and Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage over $50,000 to appear on air for 19 hours, according to his financial disclosures. #auspol #ausnews

Great Medical Service in Australia, my wife has had a sore throat for past few days, tried a few 'home cures' - but today we went to Drs Surgery, no appointment, seen in 15 mins., Bulk Billed. No cost.

😂🤣 a #gofund to get Duttons son a house 😂🤣 #auspol

We've got Dutton's receipts — he has WASTED BILLIONS! youtu.be/lDuzkBK2NKE?...

So it's OK to roll out your kids when you think it may benefit you on the campaign trail? The son is 20, a second-year carpentry apprentice, in what world should he already be a home owner? #auspol

The Great Barrier Reef Foundation's latest effort to protect our reefs 🙄 www.pedestrian.tv/entertainmen... #auspol

Remember the Great Barrier Reef foundation? The one that hadn't done much but then got $443m from the LNP gov in 2018? Well they've put putting that money to good use, by paying for the Empire State Building to go green and gold for Kylie's MSG sellouts!! #auspol www.pedestrian.tv/entertainmen...

Elon Musk now admits his Department of Government Efficiency will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Is this the actual reason Peter Dutton has stopped talking about his $600b nuclear scheme?

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

I've known Rob Hirst has been seriously ill for a long time now. He'd kept it quiet. Not just an incredible drummer, but a songwriter who could distil a song's sentiment in a few pithy words - e.g. "nothing's as precious as a hole in the ground". www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofrq...

At times like this and with LNP leadership like Donald Dutton, it's worth remembering the old adage that Elections are lost, not won #auspol

are you people forgetting that during ww2 america tried to implement jim crow segregation in european countries the army operated in?

A wise man once said... ⬇️

Goodness - I wonder how this story from August 2024 made its way into The Australian in the middle of Dutton's disastrous week?

China’s retaliatory tariffs are specifically targeting red states. This shows that foreign countries understand America better than Trump voters do. #TrumpTariffs are destroy the economy. A recession IS coming. www.brookings.edu/articles/chi...

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Another Coalition hit against Labor is incorrect! Surprise?
