Peter Dutton: “I’m not a scientist.” Zoe Daniel: “Neither am I. That’s why I listen to them.” When experts warn us about climate change, real leaders act—not hide. Vote 1 Zoe Daniel. Because denial isn’t leadership. #ClimateAction #VoteIndependent #GoldsteinVotes

The activity test for childcare punished mums trying to work and set back the development of kids, mostly from low-income families. That's why I worked so hard to get it abolished. Now the Liberals want to bring it back. Early childhood education isn’t a luxury — it’s essential.

Last week I joined the 2025 Federal Election Family Violence Forum to discuss family violence, support for First Nations women and children, sexual violence responses, accountability, and prevention. Thanks to @NoToViolence & @kristineziwica for leading this important conversation. #AusPol #Equality

Here is Team Zoe this Easter weekend. Brave, committed and always, always showing up for their community. Independence works. Let’s go Goldstein.

According to Peter Dutton, policies promoted by Deloitte, The Productivity Commission and The Business Council are ‘radical’,’extreme’ and even ‘communist’. Confused? You’re not the only one…

Gambling ads are everywhere—even during the footy. It’s not normal, and it’s not okay. I’ve written the bill to ban them. It’s ready. The major parties stalled. In a balanced parliament, we can make it law. Independence works.

A sickening video targeting a crossbench woman shows just how low politics has sunk. Abuse, lies and now a metaphor for violence—while women die each week from gender-based violence. Silence from male leaders is not good enough. The women of the crossbench won’t be cowed.

A balanced parliament means no one party has all the power. They have to listen, negotiate & act. That’s how independents have delivered progress on climate, tax, housing & more. Not spin—results. This is what Australia needs. Independence works.

Pre-poll opens Tues April 22. Over a third of Aussies vote early — work, family, travel, or just to get it done. Vote in Hampton, Cheltenham or Brighton. Check AEC for hours. I’ll be out with our amazing vols — come say hi! Most importantly: vote early. Have your say. Independence works.

Asked what policies he had for women, Dutton offered a fuel discount for “women driving to work or driving kids around.” What about safety, Peter? Early education? Workforce participation? Seriously — vote independent. Independence works for women.

I’ve had Goldstein mums beg me to act before their kids die. Eating disorders aren’t niche — they’re everywhere. We've delivered real action, including support at Headspace Bentleigh. I’ll fight for those kids every day. This is why and how Independence works.

The two-party system? Expired. Band-aid promises, no real plans. Goldstein showed there’s a better way: Independent, community-led, focused on results. Back what works. Back independence. Send a message they can’t ignore. #GoldsteinVotes #Auspol

This is community advocacy in action. I’ve been fighting for this since before the last election. Thanks to our advocacy, both major parties have come to the table and committed $1.8 million to upgrade Trevor Barker Oval and build change rooms for women and girls. #IndependenceWorks

Fairness in sport means proper facilities for women & girls. This $1.8M upgrade to Trevor Barker Oval has been years in the making — and now it’s happening. More to do, but this is a great start. Community over politics. That’s how we get results. #Goldsteinvotes #auspol

AUKUS isn’t just about submarines — it’s about trust, leadership, and protecting Australia’s future. We’ve spent $800M with no plan, no guarantees, and no Plan B. I’m calling for a full, independent review. Good allies ask — and answer — hard questions. #AUKUS #GoldsteinVotes

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the Hampton Community Centre last night for the Parents for Climate Cost of Living Forum. It was great to have a civilised discussion with my fellow candidates on the pressures facing families. #Goldstein #IndependenceWorks

This morning I met with Mayor Cr Hanna El Mouallem to discuss our commitment to supporting older Australians. Our advocacy secured $823,993.19 per year in CHSP funding for Bayside City Council — a vital boost to help older residents live safely and independently at home. #AgedCare #IndependenceWorks

Fairness in local sports means proper change rooms for women and girls. Too many clubs in Goldstein still lack basic facilities. As our community’s Independent, I’m pushing for upgrades based on community needs—not politics. Every player deserves equal support.

Had enough of politics as usual? Me too. That’s why I fought to ban gambling ads—standing up to betting giants, media networks, and sporting codes. I don’t answer to party bosses. I serve you. That’s integrity. That’s how we change politics. #GoldsteinVotes

A vote for the Liberals in Goldstein is a vote for Dutton - whose backflips keep piling up—WFH, public service cuts, dual-national deportations, Price’s "efficiency" plan. What’s next? Goldstein deserves better. Independence works #goldsteinvotes #auspol

When I promised to speak up for women who are not in the room, I meant it. The Liberals opposed pay gap laws, super on parental leave & better pay for educators. We can’t go backwards. Fairer super, universal childcare & safer communities matter. That’s my commitment to you. #auspol

Asked a reasonable question about AUKUS and Trump. Was told it’s “not wise” — not “in our national interest” — to even ask. $368 billion on subs, no Plan B, and bipartisan silence? Yeah, right. Vote Independent. Because questions matter. #AUKUS #Goldstein #IndependenceWorks
