Yes I do Fred. Dutton has a very serious opponent and he is worried. Check this out: bsky.app/profile/elli...

I also found door-knocking for Ellie a really positive experience.

Ellie Smith is the kind of person we need representing us in Canberra!

Yeah Ellie!

Woohoo! What fun! 💛🚴‍♂️

Funny!!! 😂

Labor vows to establish federal EPA if it wins second term – weeks after shelving 2022 election promise Commitment may quell caucus angst about party’s environment credentials, but could face backlash from Western Australia’s industry and government

PM promises to do what he promised to do last election but personally stopped from happening 🤯🤦‍♂️

You couldn’t make this up.

If you care about nature, Labor & Libs aren’t representing you.

Terrible news today.

Australia - Reporters Without Borders. Press freedom is not constitutionally guaranteed in this island-continent of 26 million people, but a hyperconcentration of the media combined with growing pressure from the authorities endanger public interest journalism.

Australia has dropped from 27 to 39 in the press freedom index in ONE year.
Congratulations!

Awww, so good!

This sounds like a wonderful event!

Awesome work Team Ellie!

A terrible announcement today. Good to see the Save Victoria Park campaign have a legal fund to fight it.

Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads.

87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job.

44% of Australians said they’d prefer a more independent foreign policy over a closer alliance with the US.

"Australians are seeing the way he's trashing the international rule of law, the way he is treating allies, and they are responding."

I think Ellie Smith is in with a very real chance in Dickson. She has an amazing team of volunteers who are out campaigning all over the electorate.

Julia's interview with Ellie Smith on the Independents podcast is very inspiring and well worth a listen! I'm looking forward to listening to more interviews with independent MPs and candidates. Their presence makes a change our political system to be more democratic possible!

I loved Ellie's interview with Julia. I found it very uplifting!

Awesome Wendy!

Politics and property – how our leaders are among the privileged using legal loopholes to build their wealth Reports of Peter Dutton’s property portfolio has focussed attention on politicians’ wealth and the financial vehicles available to legally lower their tax.

"Dutton’s story highlights a tension that continues to frustrate voters: politicians who enjoy superior wealth are the ones who decide the financial circumstances of their constituents’ lives."

@rodcampbell.bsky.social writes about the hidden tax structures contributing to inequality. #auspol

Antisemitism definition will be devastating for academic freedom, and equality itself Of all the panicked silencing measures executed by Australian institutions in defence of Israel over the past year, this is the worst. Yet.

Opinion | University Australia's backing of a new definition of antisemitism will be devastating to the principles on which all universities are supposed to be built. Among them, equality.

Australian universities’ new antisemitism definition has some academics worried. Here’s why Warnings decision could have ‘chilling’ effect and limit scope of education on Middle East

We spoke to @australia.theguardian.com about the dangers of the new antisemitism definition and its chilling on academic speech about Palestine. By labelling Palestinian political expressions as antisemitic, it will institutionalise anti-Palestinian racism.

Great to see this!

"Murujuga, that is one of the most important artworks in the world...they've turned it into an industrial park. I think it's disgraceful."

"Hopefully we stop the acid gas emissions continuing from the North West Shelf gas project."

When will people get over the entitlement that makes us think this is ok?

Yes, it's fantastic! Go Ellie!

Selfie of me holding up the page of the Herald with all our names, and the tagline “Jewish Australians say NO to ethnic cleansing!”

Proud to be one of 500+ Jewish Australians signed on to this open letter published in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne Age, saying #OzJewsSayNO #No2ethniccleansing #NO2TrumpsGazaPlan

It feels like there is the inkling of a shift in our community

Yes!!!! So great to see these billboards up - especially well-timed with the news today!!
