With the North Sydney electorate being abolished as of May 3rd, our Electorate Office will be operating in caretaker mode for the next few weeks.

Please have a look through the resources below, and reach out to your new electorate office for any assistance.

This Federal Budget is like fairy bread - bread and butter with a few sugar hits sprinkled on-top. It's not very offensive, it's not very effective.

We need to be governed in a way that looks at the next 5-10 years, not just focusing on how to get re-elected.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

This 2025 budget what is what I'd describe as a 'fairy bread' budget: bread and butter with a few hundreds and thousands sprinkled on top. It's not very offensive, it's not very effective.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

These little sugar hits are designed to lull us back into a false sense of security, without actually doing the heavy lifting, which is the fundamental reform that we need to drive.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

Can you even tell what party they represent anymore 🤦‍♀️

The major parties need to decide if they’re serious about climate action and let #Australians know where they stand.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

This isn’t a plan it’s a distraction from addressing the climate crisis & delivering cheaper energy - which experts agree can be best delivered through renewables. #auspol

The LNP's proposal for a nuclear reactor is essentially a strategy to prolong reliance on coal and gas. While they promise the first reactor by 2036, reality is we’re at least 15 years away.

In May 2023, I called on the gov to address HECS debt indexation, burdening millions of Australians. Last week, legislation was passed to refund excess charges from last year, and it was great to see those refunds were processed this week. #auspol

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

When Sam wrote to me and explained he was going deeper into debt, despite having doubled down on his student loan repayments, I thought there must be a mistake. I now know the mistake is in the way the debts are calculated. I’m calling for an urgent review https://t.co/P2TAjGGrfQ

Australia's unhappy record with infrastructure cost blowouts ... a short history (for those thinking building a fleet of nuclear power plants will come in on-budget and on-time)... a 🧵

"We don't have time [and money] to waste on the net zero transition. Nuclear is not the solution." Climate Councillor and economist @nickihutley tells @pablovinales @abcnews ☢️🚫

My future in politics…

#northsydney #auspol

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

Help me out here - with no evidence to back it & all the concerns below the govt is rushing through a new law that would ban under 16s from social media. Yet with all the evidence in the world that a ban on gambling advertising would work we hear crickets? 🦗#pleaseexplain

[Sam Connor @criprights]

Okay, I have spent some time analysing the kids' social media ban Bill and holy hell, this is bad.

You have one day (til COB tomorrow) to get a letter of submission in and I think it would be great if you did.

Analysis. @DavidShoebridge @AdamBandt @SenatorJordon @Asher_Wolf.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

Don’t just take my word for it - these new laws stink. The only thing they really do is take “other peoples’” big money out of politics - while letting the legacy parties continue to spend $90million on election marketing. #givemeabreak

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

If a Government is trying to rush a bill through Parliament, then the odds are that something fishy is going on.

@AmyRemeikis explains just how the donation reform changes could reinforce the two-party system, and shut out independents and new parties.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

While there were a few low lights this past week in Patliament, the Govt’s dogged determinations to continue to try & legislate its way around High Court rulings was right up there! #dobetter #humanrightsmatter #theirrightsaremyrights

[ASRC @ASRC1]

Labor's latest Bill is an unprecedented attempt to skirt its legal and humanitarian obligations in a cynical ploy to win votes.

Thank you @KyleaTink for speaking out against Labor's cruel deportation and offshore expansion laws!

Labor cannot hide behind Donald Trump when it comes to climate action - Australian voters deserve to know if they are voting for a party in 2025 that is condemning future generations to a dangerous and less prosperous future.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

A government that promised transparency and ambition during the 2022 election is now creating a climate of secrecy when it comes to Australia's climate policies.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refuses to commit to announcing a 2035 target ahead of the election, only promising to do it "sometime next year". https://t.co/RGWd81nZyZ

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

Love them or hate them, at least Australians know where we stand with the Opposition - with Peter Dutton confirming he is committed to taking us backwards if elected.
