"Go to the nicest golf course you can find, track down the guy with the worst clubs, and ask him why he’s paying more than he can likely afford to be there. That’s #Trumpism. That’s the #masculinity#crisis. That’s the whole thing."

Need some persuasion? Our recent Americas forum was a huge success! Read participant Delaney Sweep's blog post about her experience: https://lnkd.in/etSvYcgE
“World leaders have refused to condemn Israel for bombing a ship in international waters because that sort of thing is only bad when the Houthis do it”
“The #Coalition’s plan to raise $3.6bn by increasing #tax on #VAPES and making them MORE WIDELY AVAILABLE would lead to “serious short- and long-term harm” and is “exactly what #BigTobacco have been asking for”, according to public health experts.”
Key marginal seats in #NSW and #Victoria will likely be decided on the Chinese Australian vote, including the north Sydney seat of #Bennelong, where a man who held a senior role in a Chinese government-linked influence association (#CCP) is leading a volunteer group for the Liberal candidate.
Both claims show the difficulty political parties face as they try to win over Chinese Australian voters with a wide array of priorities, manage Australia’s #ComplexRelationship with its largest trading partner, and attack the other side over #NationalSecurity.”
“A #Coalition government would divert more than 10% of annual government funding for #CreativeAustralia to a single cultural project and unspecified broadcasting programs if elected at Saturday’s federal election.
The survey also found fewer people thought any benefits of #NuclearPower outweighed the #risks compared with the previous year.
Even among #people intending to vote #Liberal, support for #nuclear power was not overwhelming, with only 53% in favour of the party’s intention to lift the #NationalBan if elected.”
#AngusTaylor (Opposition Treasurer, Liberal) hands in his #Economics homework late, it’s got problems.
A derivative that is toxic
“A Coalition government would drive the #budget deeper into #deficit over the coming two years, as the shadow finance minister, #JaneHume, insisted her party’s plan to save $17.2bn by #slashing the number of #Canberra-based #PublicServants by 41,000 through “natural attrition” was achievable.”
#Reversing tax incentives for green hydrogen would save $1.5bn over four years, and not proceeding with Labor’s critical mineral production tax credits would save $1.2bn, the Coalition’s election policy costings show.”
“The #Coalition has been desperate to talk about #TheVoice, and it's little wonder why — the #referendum not only marked a devastating result for many #FirstNations people but also a turning point in the government's fortunes.
The Coalition's numbers started to surge in the #polls, and now that those numbers have fallen behind #Labor, it's been searching for the way back.”
The public denigration of Australia’s first nations people by the LNP and its followers makes me physically sick.
That’s right, we’re now at Dutton’s 15th PETROL STATION PHOTO-OP of the #campaign – that’s 15 – at a truck stop in #Aston. Dutton’s plan to cut the fuel excise by 25 cents per litre is getting a major airing in his campaign material, the backdrops of his #PressConferences, and his #photo#opportunities.”
A reminder that LNP Senator #JamesPatterson would sell the #JacksonPollock, “Blue Poles” at the NG if given the chance because (paraphrased), The Australian Government shouldn’t keep and maintain expensive Art”.
