Make sure you're across @jeremywalker.bsky.social's work if you're interested in hearing more horrible truths about Advance, the Atlas network, CIS and IPA.

Of course, this was just part of the big lie: that inflation hitting its absolute peak at the point government was handed over somehow made the ensuing cost of living crisis all Labor's fault.

It's Liberal Lie #6!
Undoubtedly one of their all-time faves.

Imagine repeating an easily-debunked lie so often that you start to believe it yourself, and then orient your whole political party's identity around it! 😳

If we can get the truth in front of people early enough and often enough, hopefully the deceitful arguments against strong climate action will be falling flat well before #AusVotes2028 even gets started.

Thank you fellow Truth Warriors. 🫡
See you in the comments.

If you see one of these lies, you can just reply "Liberal Lie #X", and paste the relevant one of our cards.

You get to both call out the misinformation, AND share the truth with others. Go you! 💪

(All our cards are Creative Commons, so you're permitted and ENCOURAGED to share them.)

It seems likely that these whoppers will be on repeat for the next 2.5 years. 😩

So here's OUR PITCH TO YOU: 🫵

Don't wait for the next election campaign to undermine their nonsense.

Whenever you see one of these lies being peddled by a public figure, call them out.

How?
We've made it easy!

Back to the main point:
We won't be back until election season approaches, but the lies start NOW.

Luckily, we've already covered 4 of their favourite big lies:
* Renewables made prices go up (#6)
* Current plan is just solar & wind (#4)
* Everyone's doing nuclear (#2)
* Nuclear would be cheap (#8)

(Tangent: Just in case you're not across why that's nonsense, the Paris agreement calls for keeping global warming "well below" 2°C above pre-industrial levels. But Liberal policy (as analysed in 2022) is more aligned with a (literally) disastrous +3°C warming.)

In case you've missed the news, the Australian Liberal Party have today said they will no longer have Net Zero GHG Emissions By 2050 as a party policy.

And the spin has already begun, trying to suggest they're also somehow committed to the Paris agreement.

Thanks again to all 7,000+ 😯 of you who followed here and elsewhere.

And a PROFOUND thanks to everyone who shared the truth in our cards far and wide.
We chopped wood.
You carried water.
Together we made an impact. 💪

We'll be on standby for 2028 should our services be required. 🫡

'Cause we couldn't get our message out to everyone. ☹️

Analysis of types of informal votes doesn't seem to be readily available at a seat level or even for every election.

There was an uptick in informal votes in Goldstein in 2022, from 2.21% to 3.43%. That has mostly reversed in this year's count, back to 2.28%

Looks like a cracking swing to Greens given Labor's popularity. 👍

Yes, a shame. We must have looked during some brief period where the count was close.

Looks like the count's swung back to Tehan as the day progressed. 😔

Still not called by the ABC, saying they've only got a preference estimate at this point.
