Is this true Anthony Albanese. I’m a true believer! My hero is Gough Whitlam. Why don’t you do what Hawke did before you and save the proposed Greater Koala NP from decimation, just like the Wild Franklin river in Tasmania flows freely instead of being dammed.

Dutton still doesn't get it when he tells us he 'believes' in climate change, because he's suggesting there are different possibilities and he's taking a position. Science is science, and it couldn't care less what he 'believes'. #auspol #AusVotes

#keepduttonout #savemedicare Please read the attached photo. Dutton oversaw the greatest attack on Medicare as the Health Minister under Tony Abbott. The LNP do not really believe in Medicare and will always reduce Australians access to Medicare & the PBS. USD5000 PM equals over AUD100,000 PA.

#LiberalParty policies are dictated to them by the #IPA. If people were aware of the full scope of them they would be unelectable. Dutton's biggest mistakes so far have been saying some of them out loud. Hence the party's apparent lack of policies and the flip flopping. #auspol

The LNP is constantly changing its position on policies including working from home, sacking 51K public servants and now supporting the Paris climate targets. Why? To get re-elected. Just watch Question Time on YouTube to see how the LNP voted on important legislation such as health & education.

So Dutton still wants to get rid of 41 O00 front line public service workers who happen to be young people, singles, mums, dads & grandparents who are just working to pay mortgages or rent. He wants to offer them redundancies - the money won’t last long and where will they get their next job?

Our health care system is amongst the very best in the world and, as you say, that is thanks to Labor. Whitlam built. Frazer destroyed. Hawke/Keating rebuilt and improved. Howard couldn't destroy it. Gillard improved it hugely. Abbot/Hockey shattered it. Butler has rebuilt & improved it.

The audacity of Peter Dutton to lie that Labor has made it “more expensive to see the Doctor” when as Health minister he pushed for a GP tax to literally make it more expensive to see the doctor.🤦‍♂️#auspol

Facts from Aaron Smith: ‘There are 9.275 million households in Aus The LNP’s $600 billion nuclear pipe-dream, paid for by the taxpayer, will cost each household about $65,000’ For much less, u could get solar & batteries with a Labor govt rebate - & not b stuck paying a massive nuclear power bill

Seriously U honestly think if Spud were PM he wouldn’t renege on his backflip of axing 41,000 public service jobs? He wouldn’t change IR laws to take away workers’ rights? That power wouldn’t go up? That fuel would go down? That he won’t slash Medicare, PBS, healthcare & education? Wake TF up

This is an amazing graph of how destructive Hockey was in 2014. We are still suffering from his application of the razor in a way Abbott hadn't told the electorate he would do. Anyone thinking of voting for Dutton should look at this.

Dutton's latest iteration of his public service thought bubble (a recruitment freeze & attrition) is absurd as it assumes jobs vacated are the ones that should be cut. And if he says you can just shift people around to fill essential roles he's arguing the skillsets needed are identical. #auspol

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Dutton had claimed that sacking the 41,000+ public servants would save the Govt $30B and he'd use this to fund his other campaign promises. So, where does that funding come from now? Dutton is both incompetent and dangerous. 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes #DumpDutton

The Liberals “renter” candidate who actually has a tidy property investment portfolio 🙄 #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25 #temutrump

Aaron Smith@aaronsmith333.bsky.social

Here’s Kooyong Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer telling you she’s a 'renter'. But Amelia isn’t being completely honest. In fact, she's being outright deceptive, and the millennial renters in particular who Amelia has tried to deceive will feel angry. Let me lay it out. /1

#keepduttonout why is Australia even considering Dutton? If the LNP introduce Trumpian policies - no Federal Education Dept, no working from home, migrants are the problem to name a few - then what will become of the Australian idea of a Fair Go for All? Gone Gone Gone

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

And who leased the Port of Newcastle to the Chinese in 2014? Yes another state Liberal government under the stewardship of Mike Baird! And who was the Minister for border protection? 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁. PETER DUTTON

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Congratulations, Creative Australia. Your panicked, craven behaviour has legitimised the cowardice of others - in this case @monashuniversity.bsky.social - & destroyed an eminent artist's career. Your credibility is currently non-existent & will remain so until your leadership is held accountable.
