Scott Morrison during COVID:
▶️ Abandoned responsibility to the states
▶️ Failed to order vaccines
▶️ Pitted NSW & Vic against each other
▶️ Declared NSW the 'gold standard'
▶️ Lied about ADF in respect to hotel quarantine
Leadership? More like criminal negligence. #auspol

Climate, women and moving back to the centre.
We asked these questions of the Liberal Party in 2022.
I suspect we will be asking these questions again in 2028.

Even if the Libs win, they don't have to deliver their funding promises.
Why?
Because the project is already funded & will be delivered by the Council regardless.
A sneaky way to get the benefits of election announcements whilst completely avoiding accountability.

These photo ops are a deceptive ploy used by the Libs at every election.
They latch onto projects that are designed, approved & funded.
Voters see the pics & assume they need to vote Liberal for it to go ahead.
It's outrageous that our media lets them get away with this.

The redevelopment will cost $29.47 million.
What's Amelia promising?
$3 million - a little over 10%.
Even if Amelia promised the full $29.47m, it wouldn't make a difference.
The Council already has the money.
The project has already started.

But that didn't stop Amelia & the Liberals from organising another photoshoot to take credit for a project that isn't hers.
Granted, her Instagram post says 'contribute' rather than suggesting full funding like her flyer does.
But either way, she is misleading voters.

Here's an Instagram post from Boroondara Council just a few days ago.
As you can see, this project has already commenced.
And as Amelia Hamer is a candidate and not an MP, this project clearly has nothing to do with her.

More pork barreling & deception from Amelia Hamer!
She's promising to fund the restoration of the Michael Tuck Stand.
But this is another fully funded Council project that is already underway.
Here's the proof 👇

I believe the Northern Territory is the only jurisdiction where rent can be increased more than once a year?
Meaning this statement on renter rights, for most Australians, is just complete bullshit.

Watching @simonahac.bsky.social dismantle one misconception after another during questions at the National Press Club today is fascinating.
This tidbit stands out:
"My entire investment in the wind industry is a share in a co-operative that owns 2 wind turbines built 15 years ago."

When does bipartisanship happen? When mutual self-interest is served
If you want proof that our politicians put their own careers way ahead of their duty to the people who vote for them, this is it. I’ve never felt more disillusioned.
Labor's 'electoral reform' doesn't make elections fairer.
It's all about self-preservation & it's full of loopholes.
Like their expenditure cap.
It has a sneaky exemption that allows the major parties to always outspend independents.

Did you know candidates get $3.386 per vote?
1 in 3 voters now give their first preference to minor parties & independents.
That means less public funding for the major parties.
And that's why they struck a deal to give themselves $5 per vote.
