AUKUS is a disaster for Australia. Trump has given us an out – let’s take it We were never likely to get any submarines, and all the deal does is tie us ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

May 26 is National Sorry Day.

We reflect on the recommendations in the Bringing Them Home report, and we have hope that the reforms in the Uluru Statement From the Heart will be borne out to shape an Australia for all Australians.

Well, no one was expecting that result, not even Labor!

In 1977, Don Chipp had a vision to offer Australian voters the choice to support a party with a difference. Today is our birthday. We're still here, and we're still living the same values Don envisioned

The Liberals are fundamentally mismatched with modern Australia The party is ignoring the realities, identities, and aspirations of the people who will determine its electoral future.

"The country that elected Tony Abbott in 2013 is gone. It has been replaced by a volatile, culturally diverse, values-driven, and economically anxious electorate, one that expects serious answers on housing, inclusion, climate, and fairness."

I was beside myself! We had a great chat as she waited in the queue, she took a HTV card as a souvenir! 🥳

Elana met Linda today at pre-poll. Linda set up our very first WA branch in Subiaco back in 1977.

She told Elana, “I was protesting uranium mining in the 70s, now I’m protesting fracking in the Kimberley. I'm furious I still have to protest this stuff.”

Australia’s biggest industrial polluter receives millions in carbon credits despite rising emissions Safeguard mechanism revamp leads to overall emissions fall but 70% of coal and gas facilities covered by scheme increased direct pollution

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Safeguard Mechanism was never going to work. I'd love to see a revamp in the coming Parliamentary term.

Here's a podcast episode I recorded with the @democrats.org.au about it back in 2023 - podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/k...

What happens when your budget review gets taken over by an election? You talk about both things of course.

Elana, Steve and Heath discuss the election budget we had to have.
