Looking forward to addressing the Press Club tomorrow and making the case for the economic reform that “politics as usual” has failed to deliver. Tune in from 12:30pm on ABC News National Press Club

What is it with this narrative that women have to be the puppet of a man? Allegra Spender smashed it out of the park today at her National Press Club appearance. “Women can make up their own minds - it’s a thing” #itsathing

Independent MP Allegra Spender: 'Women – we make up our own minds, it's a thing' – video theguardian.com/australia-news…

They say it’s not “a thing” yet one of their most senior female leaders is pushing it out there to see how it plays. Here’s how. Women make up their own minds. It’s a thing. Allegra Spender theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

A classic case study of what’s wrong with how the major parties spend government money. Competing $50m election promises to an overseas corporation that hadn’t even asked for help. No business case of course.

Watch our Chief Executive, John Grimes, at the Parliamentary Inquiry into nuclear power generation in Australia this morning. (1/2)

All options should be on the table to ensure we have the most reliable & cheapest form of electricity - particularly in the cost of living crisis But let’s base the debate on evidence not misinformation Turns out Ontario nuclear electricity is subsidised to the tune of billions

The so-called 'nuclear plan' is in reality, a smoke screen to prop up the fossil fuel industries, dismantling Australia's thriving smart renewables sector that powers homes at the lowest costs in history and employs 40,000+ workers.

Quite seriously Petaren’t Dutton & senior Libs must immediately condemn this behaviour in the strongest terms There should be no delay-there’s video evidence [USyd Liberals rip up Report detailing rape and sexual violence at the University] #auspol honisoit.com/2024/10/usyd-l…

Major culture change is needed across the board to turn around the violence against women crisis & these attitudes are at the core of the problem. Do the young Liberals represent your values Liberal Party? Where is your condemnation & action? Sky News Australia ABC News #auspol

I’ve scanned the papers & listened to the news - I haven’t heard anything from senior federal Liberals condemning this. Have you? The lack of leadership from senior leaders on such a disgraceful occurrence is indicative of a deeper cultural problem Petaren’t Dutton #auspol

This resonates strongly with me. Excellent post Sue Barrett-Onward We Press

‼️ Nuclear: "no bigger rent-seeking parasite" - propping up the coal industry, to "squeeze out the last bits of profit at the expense of Australian consumers”. #auspol

Australians want the major parties to demonstrate a strong commitment to action on climate change. Emissions reduction targets give industry certainty. Voters deserve to know exactly where the parties stand, before the next Federal election.

No wonder there’s not been a single Q from the Coalition in QT about the PM’s upgrades! ⁦Senator The Hon. Bridget McKenzie⁩ called for an investigation into the PM & emphatically denied having ever received an upgrade Turns out she’s had > a dozen - all undeclared👇 afr.com/politics/feder…

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Despair is not an option. It helps no one.

Ok here we go. Get angry, get scared - but most of all get active. Here's a list (& website links) of the 17 community independent candidates who have been announced (so far) for the upcoming federal election - linktr.ee/CommunityIndep… #auspol #activehope

This is what climate leadership looks like. The UK’s 81% target for 2035 sets the bar for developed countries. As Keir Starmer said: “There is no national security, there is no economic security, there is no global security, without climate security.” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
