The gas market needs the review announced by the govt. It’s failing Australians.
> 75% of our gas is shipped offshore while households and manufacturers pay through the nose.
But we don’t need new gas. We need a fair share from the gas we already export.

The east coast gas review is a chance to improve transparency — but expanding gas isn’t the answer. With most of our gas exported and methane pollution rising, we must focus on electrifying homes if we want to lower electricity bills and meet emissions reduction targets.

Toxic algal blooms are killing dolphins, sharks, rays and other marine life in South Australian waters, in the same week that reversal of current flows are reported for the first time in the Southern Ocean.
But still our government approves massive polluting gas projects like the North West shelf.
Australians could cut power bills by up to 90% but not everyone can afford the upfront cost.
A new report confirms energy-efficient homes, rooftop solar and batteries can save households $1000s every year.
Govt should ensure this is available to all.

As climate risks grow, local councils are bearing the cost. Damage in NB council alone could reach $1B a year by 2060, yet just 13% of federal disaster funds go to prevention. I’ve launched a Climate Resilience Plan calling for long-term investment to protect communities. #ClimateResilience #NetZero
Trust in government is at an all-time low. The Centre for Public Integrity has released a set of recommendations for greater transparency and accountability. Most are covered by my private member’s bill - the Clean Up Politics Act.
The algal bloom off South Australia’s coast is a devastating consequence of climate change.
We need stronger emissions targets, real investment in environmental science, and leadership that matches the urgency of this crisis.

Today the Federal Court found that our Commonwealth does not owe a duty of care to protect its citizens from climate change or cultural loss.
It accepted that our emissions targets are inadequate and that climate change is hurting Torres Strait Islanders and irrevocably damaging their communities.
If you can leave school, get a job, and pay taxes, you should have a say on the things that matter to you.
It’s time to drop the voting age to 16 and give young Australians the voice they deserve.
This morning I moved an amendment to better define disorderly conduct in Parliament—including harassment, bullying and intimidation. Clear standards matter. While not passed, the Govt has committed to further consideration. Parliament must be a respectful and professional workplace. #auspol
The Liberal Party isn’t just in trouble — it’s in denial. A new leader can't fix their foundations built to resist progress - particularly on climate change. My analysis, particularly relevant after news the Coalition is divorcing👇🏻

Meanwhile as we obsess about political infighting… the #climatecrisis is impacting thousands of ppl, animals & habitat. #auspol #justsayin www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
Richard makes a great point. If we scrapped fossil fuel subsidies we could easily pay landholders to store carbon.
"Had enough of doing the right thing — and getting punished for it?"Everyday Australians pay their fair share — while billionaires & multinationals dodge the lot.We must change who’s in the room if we want a fair tax system. Independence works. Otherwise, it’s just more of the Same Old, Same Old.
Voters deserve better than spam texts and misinformation.
I've long called for truth in political advertising laws and a ban on unsolicited political messages. It's time our electoral laws caught up with community expectations.

86% of Australians want stronger legal protections for whistleblowers, yet the major parties are both happy to prosecute whistleblowers.
The crossbench has been pushing for better protections in law and a whistleblower protection authority👇

I have first hand experience with being represented by an Independent, @allegraspender.bsky.social. Authentic Community Independents are the game changers we desperately need in Aust!
Thanks @simonahac.bsky.social ⭐️
We discussed them @makingsensepols.bsky.social 1st podcast.

Dutton bloody well knows we're in the throes of global warming & intensifying climate impacts
And if he doesn't, does Australia really want such an obtusely ignorant man as PM? #AusPol #AusVotes25
GOOD NEWS: 41% of global electricity is now from renewable energy sources or nuclear as Ember’s global electricity review shows.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, vexed by polls suggesting he's hated by Aussie women, wants to remind voters he 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 from a woman. ⤵️
“If women don’t like me, then why does one always let me use her jet?” he asked.

A balanced parliament means no one party has all the power. They have to listen, negotiate & act. That’s how independents have delivered progress on climate, tax, housing & more. Not spin—results. This is what Australia needs. Independence works.
🚨25 women and have already been killed in 2025. 103 women and 16 children were killed in 2024. Men’s violence against women is domestic terrorism.
Women and children‘s safety needs to take centre stage in this election yet neither major party has announced any additional measures.
People who tell the truth should be protected, not punished.
But right now there are massive gaps in our whistleblower protection laws.
Creating a Whistleblower Protection Authority is an essential integrity reform for the next parliament.

The reds & maroons are eating away at Peter Dutton's support in Dickson. He'll have to turn back home to try to sandbag it. He can't be PM without a seat. That will give the other parties & Independents a bigger space on the national stage. #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
