Too many in the bush can’t call πŸ“ž Triple Zero – or even family – when it matters most.

Labor talks equity but leaves regional Aussies behind every day. We need change in our comms networks & Triple Zero systems so people can get help when they need it.

Mallee farmers don't want 'mines, lines or turbines' and new mapping will soon show regional Australia will cop 25,000 more wind towers, 45,000km of associated roads, 250 million solar panels, on 406,000Ha farmland & bushland #WindTurbines #RegionalAustralia #regionalaus #auspol

Celebrating #WorldPharmacistsDay! Pharmacists do more than dispense medsβ€”they counsel, collaborate, and enhance care. With new training, they're set to provide even more services in Australia. #WPD2025 #ThinkPharmacyFirst

Farmers in Mallee are united: mines should not take over prime agricultural land. 🌾

The Nationals support mining & farming where there’s a win-win. With @SenatorMcDonald I met farmers worried for their future. If coexistence isn’t real, mining should happen elsewhere.

Farmers are being railroaded with transmission lines 🚜 and wind turbines they don’t want 🌬️. Labor’s message? β€œToo bad, we’re coming anyway.” Well, we have a different view. 🌾

Qantas wants to rip pilots & crew out of Mildura. We’re the largest regional airport in Victoria, the most isolated city β€” and they think we don’t matter? Outrageous. I won’t stand for it. #Mildura #Qantas

Chris Bowen is peddling recycled scare campaigns & outdated research. 🌏
In the 1980s we were told the Maldives & Kiribati would be underwater by now. They’re not β€” they’ve grown.

Australians deserve affordable, reliable energy β€” not fearmongering.

🚨 Funding for food relief in Horsham & Stawell has been cut by Tanya Plibersek.

These centres are lifelines. Families & homeless people rely on them for food & hope.

I’m urging the Minister to review this cruel decision & ensure funding continues.

🌏 We all want a healthy planet. But Chris Bowen’s 100% renewables fantasy isn’t reality β€” Spain tried it & their system collapsed within a week.

⚑ We need a sensible, technology-agnostic energy mix that’s reliable & cost-efficient.

Today I took the Prime Minister to task for his misrepresentations about protests by Mallee farmers.

The Prime Minister claimed that I organised protests in Horsham and Ballarat - my community did that, I simply and proudly stood with them. #auspol

Australians are paying higher power bills for Labor’s reckless Net Zero race. Farmers in Mallee are forced to give up their land for turbines, panels & transmission lines β€” with threats of $8,000 fines if they resist and $6,000 fines if they remove TCV signs from their own fences.

Labor’s promise: permanent energy bill relief.
Reality: electricity up 13% this year, inflation at its fastest pace in a year, and families paying $1000s more.

Australians deserve honesty, not broken promises.

Australians are paying the price for Labor’s energy failures. Nearly 70% of Mallee survey respondents said they don’t want to pay a cent toward Net Zero – but power bills keep climbing. Families deserve honesty, not fantasy.

Rising power bills

When will our city cousins listen?

We need facts & all energy options on the table. Labor’s reckless approach will see Victorians’ power bills jump another 50%.

That’s not fair. Not sustainable. Not leadership. ⚑

Farmers are being railroaded by Labor.
🚫 $8k fines for locking your own gate.
🚫 $6k fines for removing a company sign from your own fence.
These are draconian laws. Jacinta Allan pretending she β€œcares” about the bush is an insult. 🌾✊

β€œSilly Billies” insult

Labor’s Senator Tim Ayres called farmers β€œsilly Billies.”

There is nothing silly about standing up for your property, your livelihood, & your community.

Mocking farmers shows just how little Labor respects the bush. I’ll keep holding them to account. 🌾✊ #auspol #Mallee

⚑ Energy prices are up 13.1% this year β€” the highest rise in 12 months.

Labor’s VNI West project has blown out from $1.8B β†’ $11.4B. That could mean 50% higher bills for Victorians.

Energy is the economy β€” and Labor is failing us.

🚨 Labor wants to hit farmers with $12,000 fines if they don’t open their gates for VNI West.

Tomorrow in Ballarat I’ll stand shoulder-to-shoulder with farmers at the Bush Summit to defend property rights & push for sensible energy policy. πŸ’š

🚨 Labor fails farmers – again.

Vietnamese workers promised for mid-2025 now delayed until autumn 2026. Nathan from Orchard Tech in Mallee is still waiting for his 50 workers.

Farmers can’t wait. We need a real Ag Visa NOW. 🌱
