Cook is missing out on grant money from the federal government as we are a safe seat. Since 2018/19 grant increases in Cook were 9% but in Sydney seats with independent MPs increases were 320% (Warringah), 240% (both Wentworth and North Sydney). Cook deserves better!!

Gina Rinehart said: “If we are sensible, we should set up a DOGE." Days later Peter Dutton & Jacinta Nampijinpa Price are announcing one. Efficiency? He already has James Stevens as shadow assistant minister for government waste reduction. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
From Doge to Smoge, Peter Dutton’s Coalition is an eerie echo of Trump (and Musk’s) America
Dutton’s cabinet reshuffle added the shadow minister of government efficiency role to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s position – but it sounds a bit familiar

It feels so great to be FOR something, instead of AGAINST.
The Independents movement is FOR Democracy. Dutton’s LNP are against it.
The choice is simple. #auspol #IndependentsDay

In 2024, Germany achieved its cleanest electricity mix ever, with renewables powering 62.7% of net electricity generation.
With no nuclear power for the first time since 1962, Germany shows we can build a future powered by sustainable energy without relying on outdated technologies.

The duopoly want the public to have low expectations. They play the low game, they don’t engage in productive debate or solutions. Bring on the community candidates in 2025. You know you deserve better.

Isn’t it annoying when we know the solutions to many of our problems but there is no political will to implement them? We need a paradigm shift in representative politics.

Just read “If Australia could be brave” by @amyremeikis.bsky.social in “What’s the big idea”. Three pages of clear, cut-through thinking. The bucket of crabs analogy beautifully sums up Australian politics at the moment.

Who is more likely to get the costings right? The CSIRO, AEMO and energy experts or a politician and a consulting firm? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2024/12...
Unease as Dutton reveals the cost of his nuclear power plan
Peter Dutton will claim his plan for nuclear power in Australia is $263 billion cheaper than Labor's transition to renewables.

Australians are becoming less satisfied with democracy and think that people in government just look out for themselves and not the people who elect them.

If nuclear power is spruiked as ‘clean’ we need to highlight the waste issue for our community. Currently there is no permanent solution to waste disposal from nuclear power. The US EPA requires the isolation of nuclear waste for 10,000 years. Let that sink in!

This… more misinformation. We need the truth from our politicians and our press
What's wrong with this ABC news strap? There are no SMR octogenarians (which is directly what Peter Dutton was referring to) in the world. If factcheckers have been over these sorts of claims then the ABC cannot simply throw up a headline like this. It's misinformation. #auspol
