The election result in Kooyong is too close to call at this point. It will take some days - possibly some weeks - for the outcome to be confirmed. Thank you Kooyong, for your support. Thanks to my team, and my family. Thanks to all of the Kooyong volunteers for your extraordinary hard work.

Two days ago Peter Dutton clearly said he would keep the EV tax cut. Today he's said he’ll scrap it. This is just like the confusion over his Work from Home policy all over again, but worse.

Given how much more fucked up the world is about to get, the question isn't are you better off than you were three years ago - it's what do you think the next three years are going to be like and who do you want making the decisions? And that's not just about a PM, but the whole parliament.

The politics of grievance was a winner for Trump. It’s not working for Dutton
Excited by dominance in meaningless midterm polls, misled by the false analogy of Trump’s political success, the Coalition allowed itself to think it could win without doing the work required.

This is the first time in my life I can recall a party leader cancelling signature policies midway through an election campaign. Dutton has cancelled his public sector cuts and ban on working from home in a move of absolute desperation not to look like Trump. TOO LATE MATE. That ship has sailed.

We know attacks on the APS are in the Coalition's DNA. When the APS isn't protected, it opens the door for big consultants to swoop in & make $$$ while Australians miss out on the services they rely on. The Greens will protect the APS & prevent this misuse of consultants in govt.
