You can’t lie when you sell someone a chicken, but it’s entirely legal to lie in political advertising in Australia. The deliberate spread of misinformation by parties and other groups was a prominent feature of the recent election. We have to fix this problem in the 48th Parliament.

Empty chairs = empty promises. As your Independent, I stand up, speak up and show up — every time. Goldstein deserves more than this — it deserves commitment. In 2025 Independence works even harder. #Goldsteinvotes

Cant believe we’ve had a whole election without the PM or Opposition leader being asked why they support opening (and subsidising!) new coal & gas projects? In Fremantle Monday night? Come along and have a chat if you can #climate nb.australiainstitute.org.au/burned_by_bi...

Mr Dutton fails to understand that we are an integrated community here in Canberra. Cuts to the public service at this scale would also decimate businesses here in Bean that are already struggling with the cost of living crisis. I am for our whole community.

www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... A few months before the next #auspol election Paul Fletcher resigns after having won Liberal preselection for the seat of Bradfield in NSW. Is it possible internal polling is strong for the #BradfieldVotes community independent candidate?

Liberal frontbencher and former minister Paul Fletcher to resign

The Bradfield MP’s resignation opens a vacancy in a crucial marginal seat, which he only just managed to keep after a teal challenge in 2022.
