Whether it’s his nuclear power scheme, national referendum proposal, public service cuts or back-to-the-office scheme, a lot of Peter Dutton’s policies look half baked. He’s unprepared for the election campaign, and unprepared for return to Govt. #unready #auspol
Coalition rethinks its return to work mandates
Policy feared to be unpopular in seats with high numbers of working professional women now only applies to Canberra-based bureaucrats

“God is found under the rubble in Gaza”
Despite what the major parties and our media tell you, this election is not just about whether you will get a dollar’s relief, here or there, through lower tax, or cheaper petrol: no, it is about humanity, and humanity’s survival. #auspol
Australians for Humanity pushes for votes against Israeli genocide
Australians for Humanity is a coalition of interested parties seeking to have Australia and Australians respond to the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians and the declared Israeli intent to ethnically cleanse Palestine and proceed to the annexation of Gaza, the West Bank and parts of Lebanon and Syria.

A reminder:

Peter Dutton’s gas plan is a superficial solution to a real problem. Australians deserve better | Tony Wood
Without more clarity, it is impossible to assess whether the Coalition’s idea would – or even could – meet what is otherwise a sound objective

Peter Dutton says his policies would reduce the wholesale price of gas on Australia’s east coast from $14 a gigajoule to $10 a gigajoule by increasing supply. He also argues that lowering the price of gas would lower the price of electricity. Such an apparently simple and appealing proposal deserves serious assessment.
Three key facts need to be considered:
There is now not enough gas available outside the production of Queensland LNG producers to meet demand on the east coast, and that position is getting worse as long-term production in Gippsland in Victoria declines.
East coast wholesale gas prices per gigajoule have risen from $8 to $10 in the second half of 2017, to about $14 today.
Gas is needed to meet electricity demand when the mix of coal, hydro and renewables is not enough to meet demand. When this happens, the high cost of gas tends to push up the wholesale price of electricity. Continue reading...

My hope: Australia delivers:
• a minority Albanese Labor Govt that MUST listen to AND work with the cross-bench (Teal independents)
• Liberal MP for Dickson Peter Dutton loses his seat (held by 1.7%)
• the Coalition is wiped out; so the Greens become the Opposition. 🙏 #auspol #AusVotes25
