We have a right to know where #AUKUS nuclear waste will be buried, and how our Foreign Investment Review Board decides if Aussie companies can be sold to foreigners. Despite the Govt appealing my #FOI wins, and seeking legal costs if I lose, I’m in for the fight. Game on! #auspol

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Farmers who intend to vote for One Nation should know that they are accepting that “climate change” is normal.By doing so they will negate any logical argument for taxpayer assistance when “normal” weather events occur. Don’t ask for help if you deny the very thing you need help to overcome!

Australia Institute research shows voters across the political spectrum overwhelmingly support a 25% tax on gas exports, which could raise an estimated $17 billion in revenue each year. Yet the Australian Parliament has failed to act. This new ad highlights the important issue.
