If you vote for the Liberal Party this is everything that will be axed - from their costings released yesterday.

I am calling out this appalling gendered signage endorsed by Manny Cicchiello Liberal Party for Aston (neighbour to Casey). I asked Manny today if he would remove these signs but he refused to talk with me. It is an indictment on the Liberal Party that they support these signs being displayed.

Good to know that the Liberal Party again and again tell us petrol is more important than 51% of the population. Vote 1 Independent #claireferresmiles

Dutton says the quiet bit out loud...again #auspol "We can't afford to see negative gearing abolition, which would impact a lot of wealthy people in Canberra who have negative-geared properties."

Gambling is but one issue that the parties have demonstrated they make decisions for donors not us. Have a look at gas, fossil fuels, environment protection legislation, housing, health care….

This is an affront to every public servant in Australia. As a former public servant I celebrate the role of the public service to provide frank and fearless advice. Those that breach the Code of Conduct must be held to account and not able to return. Our values are shown by who we associate with.

But the major parties want to ‘preserve revenue for media and sports companies. Peter V’landys is the prime minister when it comes to gambling.’ Vote 1 Independent -it’s the only way to get decisions made for us, what we want, what is best for our community. #claireferresmiles 2/2

Looking for clear evidence the major parties make decisions for vested interests and donors - this is it. 86% of Australian support a ban on gambling advertising, online grooming of our kids. 1/2 www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Albanese used captain’s call to avoid messy brawl over gambling ads
This was the fourth time the prime minister had blocked controversial policies to avoid rocking the boat as he prepared for the campaign.

Curious - have you received a letter addressed to the women of the house? Perhaps the Liberal Party doesn’t realise there is a voting cohort called women. In fact we make up 51% of the population. 👀

Australians don’t trust politicians and elections are asking voters for their trust. The 1st flyer received from our federal MP Aaron Violi was a data harvesting form designed to deceive us. A targeted scam to get personal details. This behaviour is dishonest and unethical. 1/2

Yep the federal government receives more money from beer than from fossil fuel companies, and the PRRT is forecast to decline! Wish this was a joke but it’s not April Fools Day. We have lost billions of sovereign wealth. In 2025 we must increase the PRRT - Vote 1 Independent. #claire4casey

Claire Ferres Miles @claire4casey.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
This election Gen Z & millennial voters are the largest voting block… but they don’t trust government to act on the issues they care about. We need more Community Independents in Canberra that have courage to stand up and be the voice for Gen Z and Millennial voters. 1/2

I have received 120 emails from people who live in Casey appalled at our weak environment protection laws, asking our government to be better. Australia has one of the worst extinction rates in the world. Science tells us this decision will drive the Maugean skate to extinction. 2/3

Tonight the Labor and Liberal Parties voted to weaken not strengthen the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. This decision removes the legal right of the public to request reconsideration of past approvals in the event of fresh evidence. 1/3
