The removal of the rebate for private health insurance for people over 65, is grossly unfair.
The rebate should have been means tested.
Many seniors are low income or on pensions.
Their health insurance is often their biggest expense which they struggle to keep.
Unfair.
Australia must now make most important decision of my lifetime. We must immediately withdraw from #AUKUS & our other American alliances as they give us image of irresponsible warmongers by remaining allied with #USA. Our future is as leader of South East Asia alliance.
So now Frydenberg wants to pick some pliant, obedient stooge to run the show. This is preposterous. @AlboMP should tell him to fuck off. RT if you agree.
The LNP demands an immediate RC for Bondi for the grieving families
I attended my first rally to support families for a RC into veteran suicide in 2015
It took 7 long years for the LNP to finally agree to one
By then 500 more veterans had taken their lives
Lest we forget …
What the media don’t tell you.
Bondi shooter Sajid Akram, came into this country under Howard, was given a gun licence under Abbott and his son was investigated by ASIO and cleared under Morrison.

The ding dongs out there don't seem to realise that the last Coalition budget was framed for 40 yrs or budget deficits & $1 trillion debt in 2023.
In 3 yrs, Jim Chalmers has delivered 2 surpluses & gross debt at end 2025 is $960 billion.
Don't be sad, 'cause 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Truth is political advertising just isn’t as simple as some make it out to be. And most of the absolute lies happen in the unregulated spaces #civicduty#abciview
From ‘The Shocking State of Politics in Australia’
The truth about Advance -
-Advance is the fossil fuel lobby’s weapon.
-Advance is a multimillion dollar operation. Not a grassroots movement. It is bankrolled by a handful of fossil fuel billionaires and conservative elites whose sole mission is to spread fear and toxic misinformation to protect their profits.
-Sam Kennard, of Kennard’s self-storage, is a prominent backer and original founder of Advance - and a major donor according to AEC data.
-Maurice Newman, former abc chair and businessman, is another original founder and high-profile backer.
-Dr David Adler, President of the Australian Jewish Association, was also a cofounder.
-Manipulating Australians, Advance’s slick campaigns are pure political spin, designed to ensure the fossil fuel industry keeps control.
-Voice Referendum? Advance spearheaded the ‘Vote No’ disinformation - funded by wealthy elites - to mislead voters and keep Indigenous land open for mining.
-Massive Spend: In the May 2025 election, they spent up to $1.6 million over 4,400 ads - pushing anti-renewables, anti-net zero and culture-war myths.
-They use “fake” every day Australians (Astroturfing) to back their lies, and secretly tracked citizens phones in key electorates.
-Advance funds and feeds misinformation to “front groups” like ‘Australians for Prosperity’ and Nuclear for Australia’. (Likely many more).
-In a blatant political attack - the Liberal-linked group, Cormack Foundation paid Advance $500,000 for the year-long “Greens truth” smear campaign.
Overseen by John Howard and Richard Alston, the campaign spread false claims to deliberately cut the climate movement’s vote and shield fossil fuel corporations.
-No surprises that the Liberals folded and got rid of “net zero” after pressure from Advance - for the benefit of a small elite handful - and not for the benefit of the entire country.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Advance is the political weapon of Australia’s biggest polluters.
It’s time to see through the spin.
Barnaby Joyce had $100 lamb roast. Andrew Hastie has $7 p/l milk. His WA dairy farmer happens to be Gina Reinhart business partner. Gina being the majority shareholder. Libs are only in it for themselves and their donors.
Littleproud, Ley & Tehan are having trouble selling their dud no net zero policy
No clear answers, lots of grand statements & 'what ifs'
None of them will answer questions properly in interviews, just trying to bluff their way through
Not cutting the mustard at all

If @SussanLey was a Doctor, she'd tell a patient with 6 months to live, that he has nothing to worry about as they will find a cure in 10 years. #auspol
Sussan Ley, said on Thursday that power bills had increased about 40% since Labor was elected, because of renewable energy. Tony Wood, a senior fellow at the Grattan Institute and former Origin Energy executive, says the price increase had “almost nothing to do with renewable energy”. More Trumpism by the coalition.
Matt’s most recent “totally not big business” donor disclosures show his party is funded by:
Adani
Hancock Prospecting
Ernst & Young, PwC
Pubs & pokies lobby
Mining lobby
Santos
Tabcorp
Star Casino
etc
None of these (nor any similar companies) donate to any so-called “teals”.
