I've delivered for the Mid North Coast before, and I'll deliver again. On May 18, vote 1, Rob Oakeshott. Help me spread this video far and wide: oakeshott.com.au/donatenow

Its now up to those pushing a "values-based" visa policy, to explicitly+transparently define details. If they can't, or won't, explicitly define what they're on about, then we should all LOUDLY call it out for the BS that it is. Surely, thats the Aussie thing to do..:)

This guy is a genius. And while usually very funny, this one makes some very serious points. It is a must-watch.

👍👍

Dan Tehan says the Liberals’ new plan to reduce emissions will include new taxpayer funded Coal projects. And that they will be pushing for “Zero Emissions Coal”🤔 PK “But it hasn’t happened?” DT “Well, no it hasn’t happened.”💥 WTF is he talking about? #auspol

If LNP say they're staying committed to Paris Agreement (as they say they are), then this whole grand "drop net zero" vaudeville show is politically held together by One Nation (and the National Party) supporters never having read/digested/understood same Paris Agreement.

This is a big story here. After years of denying denying denying racism, the NT Police now acknowledge they have a problem. Anyone else? nit.com.au/07-11-2025/21148/…

Crikey article joins Ross Garnaut in reminding us that a price on carbon is the most efficient and fair policy for all. Stop the noise and lies. Theres an obvious way for the Liberals to win on climate — if only they were smart enough via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2025/11/06/net…

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump is calling Reagan’s words in this video “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad. Watch this clip and read the full transcript: Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. Now, there are sound historical reasons for this. For those of us who lived through the Great Depression, the memory of the suffering it caused is deep and searing. And today, many economic analysts and historians argue that high tariff legislation passed back in that period, called the Smoot-Hawley tariff, greatly deepened the depression and prevented economic recovery. You see, at first when someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while, it works, but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is, first, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. The memory of all this occurring back in the 30s made me determined when I came to Washington to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Now, it hasn't always been easy. There are those in the Congress, just as there were back in the 30s, who want to go for the quick political advantage, who risk America's prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5 million American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business, and additional millions are tied to imports. Well, I've never forgotten those jobs. And on trade issues, by and large, we've done well.

Meanwhile, in Canada right now…

Drawn this Saturday at 6pm. Last chance to win a great holiday. Last chance to support our local country rugby club and the benefits it brings to teenage lives. :) Get on it !! raffletix.com.au/lordhoweisl…

$50 ticket gets you in the draw for a $12,000 trip for two to incredible Lord Howe Island. And if you do, it'll help get some young men and women on their first trip overseas as part of the u16 Port Pirates Rugby Tour. All help welcome, and good luck! raffletix.com.au/lordhoweisl…

smells like deal done well before any federal elections, and kept quiet. Our environmental laws remain seriously compromised in Australia. U could propose to concrete the entire nation and still get a 'green tick'....with donations and job offers to the right mob *nudge wink*

"no, there is no ongoing negative impacts of colonisation". Oh, c'mon..... To promote this blind re-writing of our history will end badly for the Libs/Nats. They go into an arrangement with this Senator with their eyes wide open. An outlier party if they do.

About bloody time! @SMH editorial 10/4/25 urges an Australian inquiry into $368B AUKUS N submarines fiasco. UK House of Commons Defence Committee already on the case. “Trump’s rancid patrimonialism” has undermined Aussie trust in our American friends.
