The Coalition’s nuclear plan is a costly delay tactic to keep coal and gas for longer. New modelling shows it would blow out emissions by 2 billion tonnes and derail our climate targets. Renewables are cheaper, faster, and the only viable path to net zero. #ClimateAction

Dutton’s plan to break up insurers is a populist stunt that ignores the real issue—climate risk. Insurance costs are soaring, driven by worsening climate disasters. Without investment in mitigation and adaptation they’ll keep rising. Visit zalisteggall.com.au/media_releases to read my statement.

Instead of reducing big money in politics, the govt has rammed through a 400-page bill that does the opposite. This is a stitch-up by the major parties to entrench their duopoly while shutting out independents and community voices. #auspol

Labor and the Coalition have struck a deal to protect their power, boost their own funding, and shut out competition. They’re taking an additional $4.8M a year from taxpayers while weakening transparency laws—proving they’ll do whatever it takes to maintain control and block community independents

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

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

Social media makes politics more accessible but also spreads misinformation—especially during elections. Democracy needs truth. That’s why I introduced my Stop the Lies bill to ban false political ads. Yet in 2025, we still have no safeguards. Next week, I’ll call on the government to act.

NSW is facing severe heatwaves, raising concerns about power outages. Analysis shows that Australia’s ageing coal plants are increasingly unreliable, driving power shortages and price spikes, especially in summer. With coal set to retire by 2035, we must accelerate the shift to renewables & storage.

As the election approaches, it’s still legal to lie in political advertising. Voters deserve the truth, —especially in an era where the major social media platforms are abandoning fact-checking. My ‘Voter Protections’ Bill would hold political advertising to the same standards as consumer ads.

You can’t claim to care about the cost of living while promoting nuclear power. Peter Dutton’s plan would double power bills for solar households and cost families more. Renewables are cheaper, reliable, and already power 40% of our energy. Let’s accelerate the transition! #SmartSolutions

Australians are losing millions to scams, with devastating impacts. While the government’s plan is a start, it falls short. I’m pushing for stronger protections, including mandatory compensation when banks or telcos fail their duties. My amendment ensures fairness, prevention, and community safety.
