@b_beatlejuice @BenPennings Australia desperately needs another political entity to keep the Green pollies from succumbing to the rot that infects so much of Australian politics.

I’m not sure if the @AustDems can come back and pull that off but I’m hoping that it’s a possibility.

@AutumnMandrake @Thombody @AustDems Absolutely against genocide and for protecting human rights.

@dbph @AustDems We're still here 💪

[Cheryl Kernot @cheryl_kernot]

And wouldn’t have happened without @AusDems balance of power votes! I won’t let that be written out of history!

[TheAusDemsGuy @TheAusDemsGuy]

Most people know who forms government, but few understand who keeps them accountable.

Gov proposes laws. Upper House decides if they deserve to pass.

That’s why the Upper House matters & why the @AustDems are needed back. 🇦🇺

Join our party now!

Democracy is not a comments section - it only works when people get involved. The Australian Democrats are looking for skilled Victorians to help shape the election in November.

Finally, the government is considering a windfall tax on gas giants profiting from global chaos. We've long called for a 20% super profits tax on fossil fuels to fund renewable energy and cost of living relief. Time to end the fossil fuel subsidies.

An incredibly interesting read from our Victorian team... If insurers can’t cover it, housing security fails. The insurance safety net is rapidly failing Australians, but the Democrats have a plan.

The AusDems Guy catches up with the Northern Hub (at a northern pub) to prepare for the Victorian election later this year.

Keep an eye out for the next one, he would love to see everyone there!

They demonstrate clear, strong, community-based values, & prefer to sit in the Senate to make sure any bills brought in are reviewed to be effective and fair, honouring the democratic process.

Who could argue with that?

Today, Ben works across both the policy and communications teams, helping shape ideas and share them with Australians.

We’re always looking for more people like Ben - get in touch if you want an evidence-informed approach to politics.

[TheAusDemsGuy @TheAusDemsGuy]

Ben joined the @AustDems in early 2025, just before the last federal election.

Frustrated by entrenched systems that weren’t delivering real solutions, he wanted to be part of something focused on long‑term outcomes rather than vested interests.

Give a big shoutout to one of our great members, David Bell.

David contributed in countless ways over the years. At 74 years young, he’s currently at the Brunswick Street Market proudly flying the flag for the @AustDems

That’s commitment.
