I have donated since Simon HaC set up Climate200, a few $ on a monthly basis. Every little bit helps to #BreakTheDuopoly!
#auspol
so let’s help the independents run strong counter campaigns…

because politics is too important to leave to coal executives like those charming fellows from ‘coal australia’ and their astroturf LNP campaigners.

🙏 please donate 💸

BREAKING: Labor and Liberal may not agree on much but when it comes to introducing a new law to stop Clive Palmer, but which actually stops newcomers from competing with them in our elections, you can be sure they'll pass it and lock in the two-party system by Xmas www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3WT...

If antitrust laws applied to politics, fusion voting bans would've been toast ages ago. 🍞

The two-party monopoly rigs the game, blocks competition, and calls it democracy. Time for the courts to step in. This isn’t just bad policy—it’s an antitrust violation. #FusionVoting #BreakTheDuopoly

Teal inroads into the Senate, largely at the expense of the Libs, would be a marvellous thing.
For one thing Labor would finally have some credible opposition.
#auspol
Moderates did what they always do, proving themselves irrelevant. The mimsy Lib time servers in the Senate who couldn't win a House seat better hope the community independents movement doesn't get its act together with a Senate ticket.

If you want *genuine* positive progress for the environment & climate (why wouldn't you?), then you can vote for that, by voting Greens/Teals/sensible Independents. Preferential voting means *no vote is wasted*.

The major parties are both ecocidal, to varying degrees www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

In the debate between Ted O’Brien & Chris Bowen - O’Brien deflected questions abt whether Aus would remain signatory to the Paris Agreement & said Coalition wld be “reviewing” Labor’s emissions targets.

The QLD LNP tore up targets after saying they wld review them.

What do u think Dutton would do?

🔴 Australia has just approved another massive new gas export project.

The Barossa offshore gas project, operated by gas giant Santos, was today approved by NOPSEMA.

Barossa is one of the most polluting gas projects under development in Aus and will pay no royalties on the gas it extracts. #auspol

So if neither Labor or the Coalition win a majority in the election, what happens?

Well, they will need to negotiate with minor parties or independents to form government.

And often the minor parties or independents will want something in return.

I was wrong. I called the federal Labor Party Liberal Light Labor. I was wrong. They have turned into a full blown Liberal Centre party.

We need someone to pick up the Democratic Socialist left and lift this country and its citizens to the heights of all its potential.

In this paywalled piece, Mark Kenny makes a compelling case for Labor's re-election.
But then suggests, none of that matters. The world has changed.
We MUST make it matter. Australia must resist the hate, the division, the cruelty.

Don't be fooled Australia. Do we need to be drinking American owned water, when it's free from the tap?
But, more importantly why don't all Australians have access to decent drinking water? It's a disgrace.

The ever-present subtext is Greens should know their place & rubber stamp the policies of a government that guy less than 1/3 of 1st pref votes in 2022 & slightly more than 1/3 this time. #BreakTheDuopoly

Australians have been and continue to be hoodwinked, bamboozled, and led astray by this racist and classist system - a system built on the dispossession and genocide of First Nations peoples, the exploitation of convict labour, the White Australia Policy, stolen wages, stolen children,
