Whoever people vote for, put the LNP last in preferences.

The last thing Australia needs is to accidentally elect a Dutton LNP Govt.

The LNP are Dud’s, headed by the Chief Dud Dutton. Don’t vote for their no plans except enriching the fossil fuel industry and free lunches for rich corporate executives. Everything that is wrong with our society comes from such as these. Leaners and tax dodging cheaters. #LNPNeverAgain #auspol

Mr Dutton & Coalition don't value the work done by public servants in CBR & around 🇦🇺

Cutting 36k public servants would be bad for veterans, aged care recipients, ppl on NDIS & everyone else benefiting from valuable govt services.

Outsourcing the public service is not cheaper.

In this term the #Albo Labor Govt has delivered the largest investment in bulk-billing, made medicines cheaper & grown the number of GPs and nurses working right across the country. Also 87 fully bulk billed Medicare Urgent Care Clinics n 61 Medicare Mental Health Centres #auspol

My latest. The Albanese govt's reforms are not being given the credit they deserve. The focus group-driven mantra of a ‘do nothing’ govt cannot be sustained if our erstwhile political commentators bothered to look at what the govt has actually done #auspol johnmenadue.com/mainstream-m...

I'd like Peter Dutton to know I AM fed up. Fed up with men promoting #sexism & #misogyny & denigrating women, in order to win the votes of disengaged men. It's dumb, destructive & dangerous. I hope Labor's @alifrance.bsky.social wins #Dickson in a landslide. #auspol #DicksonVotes #AusVotes2025

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today?

I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites"

I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now

Labor and the Libs can lobby UNESCO all they want to not list the GBR as ‘in danger’ but it doesn’t change the fact that their Future Gas Strategy/Gas Led Recovery & expansion of fossil fuel industry will ensure the death of the reef in our children’s lifetimes 😪

When parliament returns in a fortnight the govt has to show some guts & prioritise a FULL gambling ad ban.

We also need to see prioritised

- EPA & timeline for enviro standards
- Fair electoral reform incl ban on deepfakes in elections

U wouldn’t know it via MSM, but Dutton is incompetent in the spotlight. He’d rather throw out misinformation bombs & start culture wars - then disappear under the radar again

In an election year he has to b out there - & so do his failings, lack of leadership & policy

Dutton can't dodge the spotlight — or his unresolved problems
The Coalition seems to be relying on the disgruntlement of voters with the government over tough times, rather than actively producing serious policies to do anything about it.
