Day 33 🗳️🟢🥷💰🏭

“A #Liberal-aligned #ThinkTank running last-minute #AntiGreens #advertisements targeting young voters received more than $600,000 from the #coal industry during last year’s #Queensland election, disclosures show.

On Monday evening, the #AustralianInstituteForProgress released a “Can you afford the Greens?” video advertisement pushing claims, based on its own commissioned research, that the Greens’ housing policies would lead to increased #rents.

Emails to supporters from the #AIP executive director, former Queensland Liberal vice-president #GrahamYoung, seeking #donations to push anti-Greens advertisements show the #campaign is specifically aimed at helping elect #LiberalNational party #candidates #TrevorEvans and #MaggieForrest in the seats of #Brisbane and #Ryan.”

This is why I use the term #LNPCrimeGang.

Chris LaCivita, Trump’s presidential campaign co-manager, tells undercover reporters he advised on ‘structural issues’ related to #Dutton; the LNP denies LaCivita was involved in campaign in any way

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…

Meme-worthy Toronto MP candidate may have had more election signs than votes
A candidate who refuses to give up his dream of joining Canadian politics in any capacity has proven in Monday's federal election — and not for the first time, either — that more is not always better, at least when it comes to campaign signs.The GTA has been plastered with the ...

Day 22 cont 💰💰💰🏡

“Nearly half of all #renters sit in the bottom 40% of income levels, compared with just one-fifth of first home buyers.

“If you’re in the bottom two #quintiles of income, you’re probably not really going to have enough #income to be servicing a #mortgage, whichever way you go,” Phillips says.

“There’s not a lot that we’ve seen in the election #campaign to really help those people, and they’re the people who really are #struggling.”

That leaves nearly half the renting population, or four million #Australians, beyond the reach of homebuyer help even before the new #policies arrive.”

If you don’t own or cannot afford a home, Australian politicians are not interested in you.

@Nonilex ... there are some basics that are being missed when it comes to any/all #DOGE actions, is that it is raw granular #data. It is indexed under a specific person, or company, or organization, and in such detail that _anyone_ who has it can 'become' that identity.

Fake a voting ballot for every living (or dead) citizen? Absolutely! Write a #campaign #contribution check? Of course! Transfer funds from your charity into my some fascist 'wealth fund'? You got it!

The raw data is the prize.

“Donald Trump 🎃 was seen only months ago as a disruptive force who brought huge danger to #AnthonyAlbanese at this election campaign.
But things changed when the US president brought chaos and confusion to world markets and became an economic risk to #Australia with his #tariff policies.

Now we have hard #data on how this is reshaping the #election – and ⚡️hurting #PeterDutton🥔🤓⚡️ at the halfway point of the #campaign.”

For all those who can’t read behind the lines? #Straya is not #Merica.

"Ban the misuse of contracts, often known as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), that silence workers from speaking about abuse, harassment or discrimination they face in the workplace. Perpetrators of abuse should not be protected by these agreements and victims should not be gagged."

38 DegreesStop employers covering up abuseHey! Do you remember the Harvey Weinstein case? Non Disclosure Agreements silenced victims of abuse - and it's not just happening in Hollywood. They're used in the UK to cover up all kinds of misconduct, too. But there’s a law going through Parliament right now which could help change this! Sign the petition to show you support a ban on abusive NDAs:
