Sinead was an integral part of our community and our movement whose vitality, kindness and endless community contributions touched many lives. Her passing is a profound and sudden loss not only to family and friends but to all of us who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her 2/4

It is with deep sorrow and extremely heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden death of our friend, our colleague, long-standing member and councillor for Ward 3, Sinead Francis-Coan on Monday 23 June 2025 after a short illness 1/4

The #LNP under #Duttonini is a complete policy-free rabble. They have nothing, absolutely nothing, to offer the people of #Auspol other than division, hate and confusion

Photo of the opening three paragraphs in a Guardian article written by Josh Butler. The title of the article is 'Peter Dutton still coy about details on skilled migration cuts and EV policies'. The text reads: Peter Dutton has again refused to say exactly how the Coalition would make its promised cuts to migration, declining to say which skilled worker groups would be reduced or whether his target is even achievable given previous carveouts for working holidaymakers and families. The opposition leader did say cuts to foreign worker numbers could be dealt with in part by allowing pensioners to work more hours without reducing their pensions. In an at times testy press conference on Monday in the New South Wales Central Coast seat of Paterson, an important Liberal target, Dutton further confused the Coalition’s policy slate by saying he didn’t have plans to impose road-user charges on electric vehicle users – contradicting his transport spokesperson, Bridget McKenzie, who said on Sunday the Coalition would “look at” the idea. It was also at odds with energy spokesperson Ted O’Brien, who said the Coalition hadn’t made a decision on that yet.

Oh dear, it appears there have been some 'mistakes' in the LNP ranks over the last 40 hours and counting.

Almost like they can't get their crooked stories straight. Colour us shocked.

Expect more unhinged noise tomorrow from the usual Coalition media outlets #Auspol

On the day Peter 'apology boycott' Dutton has 'slumped' in the polls for the 1st time in 9 months, as per youGov, comes a typical quote of his. It's worthwhile parsing his language a little, as disgusting as that is, to work out how shallow his 'vaudeville' routine is #Auspol 1/8
There’s an enormous opportunity of value-add for us so I think there is a big play here for our industry and the Americans see value in that, because they want assurances and certainty in their supply chain in the development of their weapons and that’s why they need our critical minerals and we can be a trusted partner. All of this conversation should’ve been taking place over the last three, four, five months.

Pity #Dutts can't make as much sense as Bunsen Honeydew

Well, there's a headline you don't see everyday (thank goodness). I took about three passes before the entire gravity and meaning befell me.

Anything that the Minerals Council likes is inherently bad for Australia's natural resources - our forests, animals, water and land. Every single member of the #ALP cabinet should hang their heads in shame

The way the #ALP has treated the 'Nature-Positive' legislation is almost verbatim what happened with the CPRS in 2009. Labor gets spooked, refuses to follow through and then blames the Greens for being 'extreme' and/or 'wreckers'. #LEAN are powerless
