I would ask Richard Marles this question. If China is the biggest threat to the peace and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific then why has the U.S. imposed tarrifs on all these countries?

Good news for the Liberal Party! Everyone gets a shadow ministry position!

@zoedaniel.bsky.social I'm devastated that you lost Goldstein. We need your voice.

Another report pointing to the prospect @albomp.bsky.social #AUKUS nuclear sub deal will unravel. Australia's strategic interests and USA's America First impulses are rapidly diverging. We need to end this folly before more billions are flushed away. #auspol

Laura Tingle just said there’s a very real prospect Labor may lose the seat of Franklin to Peter George due to the salmon issue #abc730 #auspol

Lmao 🤣 savages

Now that's been passed with LNP support, expect an election announcement. Are you tired of this charade? Two old parties throwing rocks at each other instead of leading our country? Find your community independent, find any independent. Get active. Let's do politics differently. #politicsofhope

Thought you were getting close to having a a deposit? lulz. no.

Barnaby Joyce is trotting out "Are you better off than you were 3 years ago". Trump 101

When the Morrison Govt left office, they were employing 50,000 ppl through consultancies & labour hire & cost $20bn for a single year. Gutting the public service will not save $$ & it will hurt our vets, age pensioners & new parents needing access to PPL. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Michaelia Cash has just gone on record that a Peter Dutton government would not abide by the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

Yet another Defence debacle. Invest a billion dollars of taxpayers’ money on local design and development activity for a major defence capability ✅; then abandon it and pay again for something that further locks us into the USA ❌. Well done Richard Marles 🤦‍♂️. #FUBAR #auspol

Labor and the Coalition want to frame the election as a choice between them. In fact the real choice is between the ALP/LNP duopoly that profits from the status quo and independent voices campaigning to clean up a broken and corrupt political system. #ditchtheduopoly #auspol

@zoedaniel.bsky.social Thank you for raising AUKUS in question time. The PM failed to answer your question about the likelihood of ever receiving these submarines. Both major parties refuse to reconsider this atrocious agreement or question the stability of our U.S alliance.

Would anyone be safe under a Trump/Musk inspired, Gina ordered Dutton DOGE? Dutton is Lang Hancock's daughter's pet poodle. Similar attitude to getting things done #LowYeildNucs would solve so many problems he suggested. Now the taxpayer is supposed to pay for 7 reactors. #PutGinaLast #auspol

Who advertises in major media? Not individuals. Not families. Rarely small businesses. Not communities. Gina, Clive, Hardly Normal, BHP.. We need representatives who put communities, families and people first. #DumpFossilDonatedPoliticians #ByThePeopleForThePeople #auspol #AusVotes2025

Vote on his actions not his words; what in his record suggests he has the slightest interest in anyone's human rights?

'The county accuses the industry of “a scheme to rapaciously sell fossil fuels & deceptively promote them as harmless, while they knew that pollution emitted by their products into the atmosphere would likely cause deadly extreme heat events.' Well, yeah. Great (sobering) piece ⤵️

Peter Malinauskas’ Dept is so keen to impose secrecy over a broad range of Govt docs, they’ve retained no less than the State’s Solicitor-General to fight their case. But I have full confidence in my team, solicitor Dominic Agresta and barrister Daniel Lorbeer.💪 #saparli

One of the biggest things that sets independents apart is our ability to stand up for our community against vested interests It’s no surprise then that we have the coal lobby, gas companies and gambling industry all teaming up to fund their major party benefactors and attack community independents

. @yuan-frank.bsky.social just wondered - what comes first - a person in Sydney saving enough money for a house, or Australia getting a sub under AUKUS??

Worth watching. Just in case you have any misconceptions about Community Independents. #auspol youtu.be/_g5V7ry-GLw

For 3 yrs, I’ve pushed the Govt so procurement works for 🇦🇺businesses Yet, the "sovereign defence industrial base" includes ANY ABN holder who can supply the ADF Foreign firms exploit tax loopholes while 🇦🇺 companies pay full freight We need to fix this www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Politicians often say they haven’t broken any rules when they use taxpayer $ to attend sporting events. Reminder: politicians made these rules & could change them at any time to better reflect what most 🇦🇺ns expect of their elected representatives. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Even before the US turned unreliable, #AUKUS was too costly and too risky. We must ditch it. But Peter Briggs' French nuclear sub 'Plan B' is wrong. We need 20 off-the-shelf AIP subs, built here - less costly, less risky, more sovereign and in-service sooner. #auspol

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

The longer we remain captive to the fruitless AUKUS deal, the longer we spend not doing other things that will actually help secure Australia. Remember, we only get the submarines if the US President agrees that they don't need them. Here's how that's going ⤵️

The USA is not a friendly nation. It is run by kleptocrats. Any political party not currently looking at reshaping our defence and foreign affairs policies is negligent in the extreme. AUKUS must go. The AUSFTA is dead. We have leverage. Time to use it.

Wow, those are some impressive indie wins.🙌 And there's a lot more that Simon couldn't possibly fit into his speech... But we've got you covered. Check out✨indiewins✨for the full list. #auspol #npc www.indiewins.com.au

Behind the next round of energy price hikes lurks the gas cartel that’s prioritised foreign exports ahead of Australian consumers. They’ve got the ALP/LNP duopoly in their pocket. Political pressure on a minority govt is the best chance for change. #auspol

Why did @abcnews fail to disclose that Parnell Palme McGuinness sits on the advisory board of a coal-funded, right-wing campaign group, now bankrolling attack billboards in teal electorates? She was given free rein to push Dutton’s pro-coal ‘nuclear’ plan with zero disclosure.

The exploding caravan hoax has exposed the truth that we are governed largely by hysteria, stoked by a morally void media, manipulated by lobbyists and "run" by a corrupt and purposeless political duopoly. The first positive step out of this mess is minority government.

Peter Dutton repeatedly charged taxpayers for flights coinciding with fundraisers… #justsayin #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Exactly. The media’s role is to watch, report on and question the game of chess, not to play it.

It's not real. It's not us. It's not bad. It's too hard to fix. It's too late. Just about every climate denial argument I've ever heard is a variant of one of these five categories, and each one is as bad as the next. Why? Because they all have the same goal: prevent action as long as possible.

We're here.

It's pretty obvious why. Elon Musk has alienated the main people who buy Tesla battery-electric cars Tesla shares plunge 15%, suffering steepest drop in five years www.cnbc.com/2025/03/10/t...

Malcolm Turnbull former Australian Prime Minister criticises Trump policies & worries about defence “It’s bipartisan gaslighting. It’s long overdue for Australia to have a proper conversation about our place in the world and how we defend ourselves. It’s clear we cannot rely on the United States.”

#abc7.30 Thank you Malcolm Turnbull! Let's try standing up and telling the truth. "I'm just being frank and honest about the realities"

“We need to get past the bipartisan gaslighting that everything’s fine with the US relationship under Trump. It isn’t. We can’t become a conga line of sycophants creeping through the White House.” Yes indeed, Malcolm Turnbull. #abc730 #TrumpTyranny #auspol

Badge of honour for Malcolm Turnbull #auspol

It's all there in plain sight for anyone looking #auspol

"China is not only the world’s main producer of capital goods for the new economy, but also by far the world’s biggest user of renewables. Last year China produced more renewable energy than the rest of the world combined." www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/science...

Albanese’s Govt, and particularly Mark Dreyfus, have been underwhelming in their protection of whistleblowers. Their persecution of whistleblowers has had a chilling effect on whistleblowing across the country. Labor supporters expected much more. #auspol

hundreds of staff working on political campaigns are funded by taxpayers. if you are an independent challenger you have to fundraise for similar staffing. major party campaigns are majorly funded by *you*. www.afr.com/politics/fed...
