Final reminder folks, only YOU have the POWER to determine where your preferences go. To vote independent in Franklin, head to Group C, number the boxes 1-7 and then if you wish, continue numbering other candidates in the order of your preference. You MUST number at least 7 boxes for a valid vote

Angus Taylor at it again. Does anyone know what he’s talking about? Olivia Caisley pressed him repeatedly to explain but he just kept saying the same thing. Wants Labor to make “principled commitments” on preparing for war over Taiwan but won’t say what he means by it. Shambles🤦‍♂️ #Abc

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

The web of life, evolved over countless aeons, being torn apart in our time.

The Albanese govt budgeted $16 million for the special envoys programs. That’s a lot of money to pay to be completely humiliated.

Current rating: 'embattled'.

Santos has committed three decades’ worth of damage to the environment, but it’s one of only two big gas companies located in Australia.

With foreign investors wanting to buy Santos, what does this mean for Australia’s future?

Outsourcing is becoming more common, as the unemployment rate jumps to 4.3%.

"Those skills people have in Australia are now going to be developed somewhere else, potentially where there's lower labour costs, less safe work practices."

Rayne Allinson, another independent candidate in Franklin speaks about our democracy, and how a minority government truly serves communities, counter to the rhetoric of the two old parties.
Thanks @voicesoftasmania for working to strengthen our democracy through community independents.

"a group of pro-Israel letter-writers"

...well, that's one way to describe people who apparently had such amazingly easy access to, and influence over, the top echelons of ABC Board and management. 🙄

Boom! Flanagan steps up. Use a paywall buster to 'remove paywall'.

The Reserve Bank have chosen to keep interest rates on hold even as more people are losing their jobs.

“It’s a strong indicator of not a strong economy and one that could have certainly done with some interest rate cuts.”

Latham’s parliamentary office ‘used to record sex tapes’ The former federal Labor leader did not deny the claims, which came after he mounted a public defence against stunning accusations of domestic violence.

Parliamentary code of conduct should include treating the parliament building with respect.

The building and all the rooms in it belong to the public & should be afforded dignity & respect, especially by elected representatives

Victorian government opposes Moira Deeming-backed push to include ‘transgender ideology’ in cults inquiry Exclusive: Liberal MP urges people to make submissions to inquiry as Labor insists it will look into harmful and coercive groups, not target trans communities

Deeming is the gift that keeps on giving to State Labor. Is she a double agent?

Cults can cause so much damage and she's making a mockery of this whole process. And she's a dreadful TERF.

Today my campaign reports all donors who have contributed $1,000 or more to the campaign since the state election was called on June 10.

This includes donations made in the 20 days before new election funding laws came into force on July 1.
I call on the two old parties to do the same.
