I've challenged Angus Taylor to at least 3 economic debates. He's had 3 years and still no costed, credible or coherent policies – just lower wages, longer lunches, and secret cuts to pay for nuclear. If he wants to be taken seriously, he should accept this challenge today. #auspol #ausecon

Jim Chalmers (AustralianTreasurer): "More bulk billing doctors in more suburbs and towns means less pressure on family budgets". #AusPol #auspol #AusVotes2025

More bulk billing doctors in more suburbs and towns means less pressure on family budgets. That's why we're investing $644 million to open 50 new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across every state and territory, in addition to the 87 we've already delivered. #auspol #ausecon

What Labor has done in bringing inflation under control, creating more jobs, raising wages, creating space for rate cuts, record SME growth & increasing investments in pensions, health & education shouldn’t, according to neoliberalism, be possible Labor did it NO ONE ELSE ANYWHERE ELSE HAS #auspol

Now would be a very dangerous time to give power to an already dangerous Peter Dutton. The whole right side of politics and oligarchy is abuzz with Trumpism... 'You mean we can be *that* blatant about it, and go *that* far, and no-one can stop us?' #auspol

There has never been a clearer choice in Australian politics. You can have the pro-Trump divider described as a “thug” by the former PM *from his own party* or you can have the one of #auspol’s great reformers who has led a Government without scandal. #auspol

Labor’s policies are a whole lot better for the country than the LNP will ever be. There’s enormous benefit to public health, education and services. And very little bit more costs and less services when outsourced. Good government needs the ALP. Dutton is a DUD. #auspol

Our plan is all about helping Australians earn more and keep more of what they earn. People would have been worse off by thousands of dollars over the last couple of years if Peter Dutton had his way, and they’ll be worse off still if he wins the election.

Here's a handy list of achievements. He should have have been better on NACC, no new coal mines, standing up to legacy media, The Voice referendum was a disaster. He's no statesman but a hung parliament might help him out a bit. Obviously keeping out Dutton is huge.

Please help pushback against Dutton and News Corp’s nuclear disinformation by sharing these very simple FACTS which show nuclear power is more expensive, slower and will contribute a tiny share of power generation as compared to renewables. The nuclear campaign is designed to undermine renewables👇🏻

Just had coffee post exercise class with a group older women. Some are proTrump. They don’t like him but like what he stands for. I remained silent until they asked what I thought . To avoid an argument I said “I like politicians to have some integrity.” The changed the subject.🤷‍♀️
