@J_C_deVries I agree but think you may be missing the point. Of course duration matters, but the fundamental issue is assimilation, not race. I think we’re agreeing on the issues but you think race is the root issue rather than assimilation?

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@J_C_deVries Not if it happened in a short time.That would be a major rupture in national continuity.
Do you think the issue is race alone?

It’s numbers, pace, assimilation, culture & loyalty, which is why Andrew Hastie has been the strongest voice for lower migration & stronger assimilation

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@J_C_deVries I agree that continuity with our heritage matters.That’s what Hastie was advocating for.

He’s arguing for national continuity through shared institutions, law, language, civic culture & Australian values. Notice how often he mentions institutions.
He’s a real conservative leader

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@AnzKnight @OzraeliAvi I’ve followed Hastie for years. He’s still remarkably consistent and thinks for himself. Strong leaders know when to stand firm and when to work with others.

I encourage everyone to read one of his recent speeches and not judge him on social media commentary.

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@LT_Aust People keep repeating the same talking points about Hastie. Have you actually read one of his speeches? He’s more conservative in temperament and conviction than One Nation.

Agree or disagree with him, Hastie argues from conviction, not whichever way the polls are blowing.

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

Duniam's comments as he leaves politics are a sharp warning. They point to a bigger problem.

Politics is getting more intense, constant, splintered & more ephemeral.

I worry that as politics becomes permanent campaign mode, we lose conviction & the people we want in public life

@kevinbonham Big loss. Not just for the Liberals but for our federal parliament and politics in Australia.

A lot of people have struggled to believe me when I say that the Australian Human Rights Commission is giving pregnancy protections in law to men who claim to be woman, because it’s so stupid it’s hard to believe anyone would say it.

@Leo_Puglisi6 @6NewsAU The Teals hide behind the technicality that they’re ‘independents’ because there’s no registered Teal party. But voters can clearly see they operate as a political party with aligned donors, supporters, values, campaigns and priorities.
The Teals are absolutely not independent.

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@AlboMP lol. What was the point of that!?

This isn’t leadership. It’s a cheap political stunt!
Unfortunately it cheapens a National Address when it actually might be necessary or helpful in the future.

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@3AWNeilMitchell It's brilliant.

Imagine the Finance Sector Union, which represents workers in banks, was run by hardcore criminals.

And imagine those criminals, through the banks, extracted billions of dollars from taxpayers in rorts.

And that the Liberals were in power while this was happening and accepted donations at state and federal levels as kickbacks.

That’s what’s been going on for years with Labor and the CFMEU.

[Marko Matvikov @MarkoMatvikov]

The fact we’re finding out about union criminality on Victorian projects through a Queensland commission tells you how rotten Victoria is.

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@MarkoMatvikov Yes… It’s disappointing to see so much emotional & flippant reaction to him, in bad faith, without consideration to the many trade offs & context of the decision. I’m dismayed by the childish, shallow, naive & nasty reaction. Clearly they don’t want MPs to be honest with them

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@JohnAndersonAC Thank you for this, John. It’s a great article and I appreciate you highlighting Andrew Hastie.

Andrew listens, he understands the pressure Australians are under, and the hard decisions ahead. That combination of conviction, humility and courage is exactly what Australia needs!

[Timothy Reesink @ReesinkTimothy]

@AntonyGreenElec This seems an uncharacteristically explosive comment, especially from you. Good sir! What have I missed?

[Page Research Centre @page_research]

We are demanding a full retraction and public apology from the ABC.

Last night on 7.30, the ABC deliberately misrepresented our report that led to the National Party abandoning Net Zero in an attempt to discredit our thorough research into the Australian energy market, net zero policies, and their effects on households, businesses and our environment.

Our paper, Delivering a High Energy Australia, is a meticulous, evidence-based discussion paper built on more than 160 detailed references. It lays out, in full, how Net Zero is driving up energy prices, crippling Australian industry - and what we can do about it.

But instead of engaging with the facts, the ABC tried to smear our work by claiming that our modelling came from Coal Australia. This is blatantly false.

Our energy numbers both in this report, and the report we released earlier in the year have come from analysis of a number of sources, including but not limited to; the CSIRO, CIS, AEMO, Australian Energy Regulator, Australian Bureau of Statistics, DCCEEW, Net Zero Australia, Arche Energy, Adept Economics, the World Bank and the International Energy Agency.

It also contained our own internal calculations based on publicly available data, and this too was made clear in both the body of the report and in the footnotes.

The modelling Coal Australia commissioned from Clean Energy advisory firm Arche Energy merely reinforced our earlier findings, which is why we cited the work as an additional, supplementary reference in the report.

And the ABC knew this. Before going to air, they reached out to us for clarification, and we made this clear. Yet despite knowing the truth, they ran the false claim anyway, and in doing so they knowingly misleading their audience to cast doubt on legitimate research.

The ABC needs to be held accountable.

We’ve demanded a full retraction and apology. Australians deserve to hear the truth, not taxpayer-funded lies designed to undermine real, legitimate research.

[Tarric Brooker aka Avid Commentator 🇦🇺 @AvidCommentator]

This is the most effective piece of political advertising anyone significant in the LNP has produced in years.

If we see a lot more of this, the admitting of past mistakes and sharing aspirations the people hold, Hastie could potentially be competitive.
