Hanson: I'm open to criticism.
Also Hanson: I'm going to scrap SBS, gut the ABC and ban the Guardian.

@Mnasurf1980 @CartwheelPrint @AusPoll6 Ever tried to read a Senate ballot paper on an iPhone? Elections should be conducted with attendance voting. They are more important than voting for a contestant in a reality tv show.

Nats: Abandon net zero!
Also Nats: You aren't doing enough to reduce emissions.

It is a deep curse that Clarke and Dawe is not around for this age of absurdity from the Coalition.

The problem with the Liberals and Nationals is that they are no longer tethered to facts. Their "facts" come from their own spin. And they build their spin of these "facts". Compounding misinformation exponentially alienates them from voters and reality. #auspol

Nationals leader David Littleproud claims Labor’s net-zero plan will cost $9T. We did the maths.👇⁦@10NewsAU⁩

The paradox the LNP face - due to unpopularity of right policy leaders (Dutton, Hastie, Joyce, Price) they are losing moderate city seats, either to Labor or Ind (Wentworth, Menzies, Bradfield). Lurching the caucus and unpopular policy further to the right. #auspol @KosSamaras

The progressive vote grew after the immigration rallies. So why is Ley being targeted because she is rejecting such policy ideas?

Our post-immigration rally polling revealed that, so did many other polls. The only demographic shift tracked older voters moving from the Coalition to One Nation. Older voters living in the regions.

Younger voters didn’t follow. They moved further away. Hence, 87% of Gen Z women do not support the Coalition, no matter where they live.

This matters because it exposes what’s driving the challenge to Sussan Ley. It isn’t about electoral strategy. The politics targeting her has no relationship to winning elections. It’s about control over a shrinking space, the increasingly isolated corner where echo-chamber nationalists reside, a world dominated by bots, and fake online accounts, providing a false impression of support that looks more like a night at the pokies, flashing lights, manufactured excitement, and the certainty of a win that actually never materialises.

Ley is being destabilized not because she’s ineffective, but because she refuses to validate politics that empirically repel the electorate the Coalition needs. The data is unambiguous: divisive policy doesn’t expand the Coalition’s voter base. It shrinks it.

This is just ludicrous. It's factually incorrect and it's dangerously and willfully misleading.

It needs to be called out and our politicians need to be held to a higher standard. We can't have this home-brand Trumpian rhetoric imported. #auspol

"Net Zero is about reducing our freedom. It's Communism."

Do you agree with Jacinta Price?

This feels like an obvious thing to say, but it’s best not to make up statements by the President of Indonesia.

If you've ever been injured by a stray football kicked by Peter Dutton, you can now get treated quickly and free of charge at one of our Medicare Urgent Care Clinics.

We all know Dutton loves making cuts, whether it’s to journalists' heads or the Health Budget. #DontRiskDutton

“Liberation Day”. Donald Trump’s America rewrites history and therefore is doomed to make the same mistakes of years past. #auspol https://t.co/03cOVPmlcd

We have skills shortages across many sectors. The LNP's far-right dog-whistling against responsible migration needs to be called out for what it is. Irresponsible. Illogical. Idiotic.

@MarkDiStef @michael_read_ Dutton is clearly trying to replicate the success of Trump’s “tax free tips” policy, but this ain’t it.

@MatthewBevan A fantastic illustration of why we should not adopt UK austerity.
