Lies include "emissions declined under the Liberals, flatlined under Labor" Katie Allen: Chisholm Forum.
Plus she said she was responsible for everything that mattered in climate action, getting to net zero by 2050. Were we to get the impression she had changed the LNP climate policy all by herself.
Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads.

87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job.

Katie Allen says AEMO's modelling sucks. But Frontier didn't have a two year whole of industry and stakeholder consultation process with ongoing methodology reviews.

"The right has shifted almost monolithically away from values once prized by both liberals and conservatives, like respect for institutions, evidence-based policymaking and the rule of law." @keanebernard.bsky.social on the death of liberalism under Dutton www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/19/p...
The mask is off: Dutton's Liberals are no party of liberalism
In a decade, the Liberals have gone from supporting the rights of bigots to wanting to deport them. What happened? It's not just Dutton.

Australians born overseas or having one parent born overseas is about 49% of the population.

I'm no mathematician but that's seems to be a fuckton of eligible voters to me.

Excellent article in The Hill on the severe health impacts of the TX oil industry on the local residents.

$5bn on helping households lower their energy bills and make and store their own energy sounds like a winner to me!
We'd need less powerlines, less grid, less gas.

Anyone telling you that we need to drill for more gas to fix a domestic gas shortage is lying.

There's one way to ensure more gas and lower energy bills for Australians, and that's to cut exports.

Approving Woodside's huge gas export plant for another 50 years would mean approving:

🔴 Higher energy bills for West Australians
🔴 90 million tonnes of emissions per year (as much as 12 coal power stations)
🔴 Destroying ancient Murujuga rock art

And for what? They pay minimal royalties & no PRRT.
