A super majority of 94 seats in the lower house and a constructive Senate - and still won't act.
We voted for change - and instead we get the status quo.
Bennelong deserves better! #auspol #BennelongVotes
The Govt gave itself a glowing report card on nature. Experts disagree
Ecosystems degrade, species slide toward extinction & fossil fuel subsidies flow
Bennelong wants real results, not cover ups!

Labor promised us a NACC with teeth.
Y'day’s #Robodebt findings prove we got a watchdog that barks, but can’t bite.
Findings of serious corruption, yet zero consequences.

News from the NT is a wake-up call.
Our community group is about active participation in our democracy - and that means holding our leaders to their promises to protect our environment.
We expect better for our national heritage. Bennelong is watching. #auspol #BennelongVotes
While everyone was watching leadership dramas unfold in the Liberal Party, the Albanese Labor Govt approved a major coalmine expansion in QLD
Leadership spills & coalmine thrills: just another week of the major parties prioritising their agenda over ours
#auspol #BennelongVotes
Ever wonder why major parties seem out of step with the public interest?
The latest donor data is out & it’s a goldmine - literally.
When you see $$$ flowing from mining & other sectors into party coffers, their policies make sense.
Follow the money! #auspol #BennelongVotes
We elect people who claim to represent us but their actions tell a different story.
They play a lead role in the climate crisis while our communities pay the price.
They help start the fire. We’re left to put it out.

It can be done!
Here's a local representative putting constituent interests over party interests.
We need more MPs who stand up for the local interests, not the party machine.

"…let's not take our eye off Labor's current actions
They are the ones approving new coal & gas & trying to push through a sub-standard Environment bill…” #AusPol #distractions #LaborValues #BennelongVotes
While the focus is on the Lib's future targets (or lack of) -let's not take our eye off Labor's current actions
They are the ones approving new coal & gas & trying to push through a sub-standard Environment bill
The stakes are too high for distractions
We need action NOW #AusPol #BennelongVotes
Labor’s environment bill has failed the test with the community independents saying NO. ❌
Why? No climate trigger, no block on the Minister’s new 'national interest' fossil fuel exemption, and it fails to protect species.
This bill as it now stands is not good enough!
#BennelongVotes #auspol
Where is the 'jobs for mates' report?
Labor campaigned on restoring integrity, but they're still keeping the fix for cronyism a secret.
The Senate is demanding answers - and so should we.
We voted for integrity - but instead we get more of the same.
#BennelongVotes #auspol
A recent CIP report says the Labor Govt has "failed in its commitment to transparency by trying to tighten freedom of information laws;in cronyism by stalling reforms that would end a “jobs for mates” culture; & a lack of action on improving integrity in the lobbying system" #BennelongVotes #auspol

NSW is melting - and it's only October.
Meanwhile - the Albanese Labor Government is still approving new fossil fuel projects.
They are funding the fire.

Climate is a HUGE concern in Bennelong so it's disappointing to see Govt prioritising a Party that backs nuclear/fossil fuels for key legislation.
We need to champion serious climate policy!

Bennelong voters have smashed Scott Yung’s hopes. A 10.3% swing to ALP.
#ausvotes2025 #auspol #BennelongVotes
Always grateful for Australia’s compulsory and preferential voting system - as well as our independent electoral commission - now we just wait to see how the country voted… #ausvotes #auspol #democracyinaction #Bennelongvotes #AEC #AustraliaVotes #Election2025
Scott Yung is an incredibly dodgy candidate.
🚩 Lies about links to CCP
🚩 Gets super dodgy donations
🚩 Hands out candy to 5yr olds without parental consent
Yet he feels it's being associated with Peter Dutton that's dragging him down! #auspol #ausvotes #bennelongvotes
There’s never any excuse to be racist.
Mudslinging should have no place in Australian politics.
If the complainant’s allegations had merit they wouldn’t need racist padding because they would stand up on their own merit.
It’s no wonder people switch off.
#auspol #ausvotes2025 #BennelongVotes
Not a fan of this candidate but the unredacted portion is just racist mud-slinging.
