1. The concept of "baseload" is a myth. It's an antiquated concept pushed heavily by the fossil fuel industry. 2. Nuclear power is the most expensive power that can be generated 3 . Dutton is a liar. #auspol

I welcome the NACC’s findings - no corruption, no further action, as expected. This was a dirty Liberal Party tactic to try to stop me from winning in Goldstein. This is what Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party does. Race-to-the-bottom politics that is all about them, not you.

‘For years, Donald Trump’s servility to Vladimir Putin was dismissed as mere vanity or venality, an eccentric quirk of a reality-show president. Now, it is clear that the takeover is complete. On Monday, Trump spit endless insults at Ukraine and its leader while praising Putin without limit.’

Relationships are more than financial. The impending 25% Aluminium tariff fails to reflect our unwavering support for the USA in every war that they asked for since WW2. Such sociopathic behaviour from the new administration. 🙄😮‍💨 I suppose when we had a little one they wouldn't help then either. 😢

🚨 dutton & albo have joined forces 🚨 instead of winning your vote by being less 💩, they're rigging the game. …by giving themselves: • $140m in taxpayer $$$ • higher spending cap than indies they think this will kill the independent movement. 👇donate & prove them wrong👇

Reporter: You cited $50 million worth of condoms sent to Gaza as fraud, but fact-checking showed it was actually Gaza in Mozambique for HIV prevention. Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000. (Eric Trump repeated this lie last night on Fox News.)

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Oh lol. I forgot to post Wannon! No idea where they got 5.00 from. Tehan must have a lot of mates at the Warrnambool Turf Club backing him to 1.13. That’s an 88.5% probability of holding. No way in hell is that reflective of reality.

I’m slightly too far away to say yes to this… …but if you’re in Cowper (Coffs Harbour to Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Bellingen, etc)… Caz Heise is SO CLOSE to defeating the incumbent NAT MP, and needs your help raising awareness & visibility to swing the final few 100’s of votes.

“You would expect a 44 per cent reduction or of that order being passed through in energy bill relief.” Staggering ignorance of electricity bills, (not to mention their own preferred modelling), or just flat out lie. Perhaps a combo of both. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Next time you strike an uncommitted voter in the upcoming #auspol election, you might want to ask them if they knew the Liberal/Nationals under Peter Dutton voted repeatedly against cost-of-living measures to help working families. Here’s a handy list of positions the LNP have taken lately.

Wentworth knows what it’s like to win elections. But it also knows those wins can’t be taken for granted. Each time they have risen they have campaigned better than before. The choice is stark: a formidable independent, or a return to those who will silently throw their loyalty behind Dutton.
