We just have to do better.
Rough overview on Goldstein

2022 - vote in candidate focused on integrity; climate issues & gender equality.

2025 - vote out 2022 candidate who addressed her agenda.
Vote in failed 2022 candidate with main policy change on 2022 issues support nuclear energy.

Does it make sense?

You maybe interested in a chat with an independent candidate in seat of Monash (Warragul centre of it) & then the response from VCEA (overarching catholic education org) representative. Same wording to your letter by looks.

4. Which seats and where is the evidence of such people being unionists?

Is this another Dutton “scare” campaign?

On alleged activity of union members, comments by Dutton on the LNP needing to employ security guards on booths:
1. What are AEC officials doing in these seats?
2. Why aren’t police being called?
3. Given the AEC hire the venues & volunteers often operate in public space how do guards apply?

So would they then posit that an unborn foetus has more civil rights than a child who has been born? 🤔

The LNP want to reduce public service as a cost saving factor; yet want them to return to the office when they could actually trim costs by reducing leased office space.

For such a significant discussion, why wasn’t there a follow up email from Green to Lattouf stating what the “accepted outcomes” were from this meeting?
This for me has been the “missing link” in the process applied to Lattouf.

It will be interesting to see how one of his “casual” employer responds to this over the coming season.

Who’d have thought that this would happen? 😉

Thanks for pulling the pieces together.

If Dutton isn’t prepared to appear with Wells to discuss current topics; I’m sure Tehan would insist on the same condition with Aly. 🤔

In van Manen’s (Chief Opposition Whip) question - “… suffering the longest recession on record …”. 🤔

Facts matter - rhetoric doesn’t cut it if you want to be taken seriously as the “Alternative Govt.”

Again Sukkar’s ineptness as Manager of Opposition Business comes to the fore in the standing order debate on Leeser’s 2nd question - he fails to cite a specific ruling by a previous Speaker. Makes a general statement that Dick would accept his position.

(Burke does find the previous ruling.)

When you’re juggling 5 portfolios, it would be hard to get the paperwork done.

Sukkar isn’t learning on job.

The ability to distinguish between tactics and strategy is vital. 🤔
