Day 31 cont 🛢️🛢️🛢️🚗🚙🚗

A reminder, the seat of Aston was the seat of a former (discraced) Liberal MP, #AlanTudge #TudgyFudge.

#PeterDutton (#Liberal) continues his campaign swing through #Melbourne’s #suburbs, and you’ll never guess where the bus has stopped now.

That’s right, we’re now at Dutton’s 15th PETROL STATION PHOTO-OP of the #campaign – that’s 15 – at a truck stop in #Aston. Dutton’s plan to cut the fuel excise by 25 cents per litre is getting a major airing in his campaign material, the backdrops of his #PressConferences, and his #photo #opportunities.”

Slogans, propaganda and stunts…

Day 30 cont 🥔🤓🚫📝🧾📊 📉

“The #Opposition still has not released its #costings, despite being four days out until #election day. Asked about it on the campaign trail, #PeterDutton (#Liberal) says the costings will be provided “IN DUE COURSE”, adding the costings would “#demonstrate that the #BottomLine will always be better under a Liberal #government”.

Wouldn’t have been easier to work on POLICIES?

Neue #UBA @Umweltbundesamt -Studie zeigt: #CO2-Bepreisung alias #Emissionshandel #ETS reicht nicht aus, um #Klimaschutz zielkompatibel und sozialverträglich zu erreichen. Notwendig ist es, die Bandbreite der staatlich bestimmten Energiepreisbestandteile voll zu nutzen und auf effektive Lenkungswirkung zu reformieren! Das Credo der #KleiKo #Blackrot, v.a. die #Energiepreise zu senken (u.a. mit Industriestrompreis; Senkung #Stromsteuer u.a.), ist der falsche Weg! Stattdessen braucht es gezielt flexible Tarife für Verbraucher (#Wärmepumpe) + #Industrie (#Lastmanagement) und mehr!

Day 29 🗳️

“It’s the election billed as the battle between #Boomers and #Zoomers. By most estimates, it’s the first time #GenZ s and #Millennials outnumber their parents and grandparents as a voting bloc.

The parties have attempted to tailor their #SocialMedia pitches accordingly on issues that disproportionately affect #YoungPeople: the cost of living, HECS debts and housing. A tide of social media #memes, AI ads and several diss tracks have been met with varying levels of enthusiasm from their target audience.”

Day 28 cont ☢️

“Look past all the flip-flopping, all the reversals, all the contradictions and you see a very clear pattern: a risky and expensive #NuclearPolicy☢️ that he doesn’t want to talk about and he certainly doesn’t want to #visit any of the #sites. A defence policy that is little more than a media release and handouts that disappear after just 12 months.

These are #policies with huge price tags but the last thing #PeterDutton☢️ ever wanted to talk about is where he’s going to get the money from. You won’t be surprised that I don’t share his reluctance. He’s going to get it by ripping into health, education and childcare.” — #AnthonyAlbanese

Day 23 🚫🙈🙉🙊

“Blocking the #GamblingAdReforms is the fourth known example of Albanese’s willingness to #overrule senior ministers such as #EnvironmentMinister Tanya Plibersek, #AttorneyGeneral Mark Dreyfus and assistant minister Andrew Leigh when they were tackling #controversial and #sensitive #policies.

The #PrimeMinister can always use the authority of his position to make the final call on all matters of policy. This masthead has already revealed that #Albanese has come over the top of Plibersek on #EnvironmentalProtection laws, Dreyfus on mandatory jail terms for hate crimes and antisemitism, and Leigh on sex and gender census questions.”

I’m going to be re-elected. 🙈🙉🙊
