3. Good start for the sitting LNP MP in @the_chronicle_ exit poll on day 1 of #GroomVotes pre-polling. Please follow @GillespieTom17, whoās on the ground for the Toowoomba daily.
@SuzieHolt4Groom is third after Labor.

Here comes @SuzieHolt4Groom!
An explosive report in Toowoombaās @the_chronicle resets the #GroomVotes campaign, suggesting a big chunk of LNP and Labor voters have switched their support to her.
Will Garth Hamilton still boycott tonightās candidates forum in Highfield?

āLiberalā Party becoming the US Republican Party before our eyes. Ugly culture wars, glorifying guns, policies for sale to big donors, public service destruction, corrupt govt appointments, the lot.
True liberal voters need to take a stand now to save our faltering democracy.

2. The host of this gun-toting fundraiser for the āLiberalā Party? The biggest supplier of guns etc to OUR Defence Force! Enough merging guardians of the public interest with private profit. Time to stop rampant Canberra corruption in Canberra! Vote to save decent democracy.
3. The proof: What a pleasure it must be for a huge Defence Force supplier - OUR defence force - to host a $5,000 a head gun-toting āLiberalā Party fundraiser. This Govt sells its soul and our democracy very cheap.
We gotta cleanse corruption in Canberra FAST.

1. Damien Hodgkinson is sole shareholder & a director of @Climate200. He profited last election by doing the donation books of several independents - $30k a pop. inc @zalisteggal. Charged $30k a pop.
Then went big, still on the @Climate200 Board, seeing āa gap in the marketā.

ANOTHER opportunity for #IndependentsDay candidates to put serious donation disclosure reform on the #ausvotes agenda.
Indies completely justified in operating under current law, otherwise they give Govt MPs an unfair & crippling advantage.
Will the Govt pledge reform too?

2. Maybe an #IndependentsDay candidate or two might ask the sitting MP to agree that both fully disclose donations in real time from the hand shake. Wouldnāt that be interesting :)
3. WILD: @JasonFalinskiMP says Labor must put all #IndependentsDay candidates LAST because @zalisteggall amended her donation return.
Jason, whatās your #ausvotes #HonestPolitics plan? Debate it with @SophieScamps in #MackellarVotes?

1. @SenatorRennick not up for re-election. LNP chose him, a stain on the Party & more proof it swung hard fundamentalist right since the merger &ācrushed its liberal wing.

2. LNP now expects liberals to vote for Canavan, 2 on Senate ticket - despite his pledge to do everything he can to oppose net zero by 2050.
Canavan - a mate of LNP MP, is central to the push to convert #GroomVotes from a Liberal MP in Canberra to Nats.

Excellent backstory to the PMās startling change of legislative policy on gay students by @LisaVisentin.

2. And hereās the blow-back to the PMās startling apparent change of heart, reversing his veto on banning private schools expelling gay students in his Religious Discrim Bill.
3. During the #WentworthVotes by election Morrison first backed the right private schools to sack gay students then said he didnāt like it then pledged to repeal the law allowing it urgently. By @Paul_Karp

731. Extraordinary stuff from Frydenberg, triumphalist Back in Black back boaster before last #ausvotes. SURELY with a record breaking deficit and covid widening income inequality the sane thing to do is delay or abolish the stage 3 tax cuts. Nope - letās cut tax more!
732. B McKenzie demands the Clean Energy Finance Corporation finance carbon capture & storage research (a fantasy) to sustain coal mining. The mining industry hasnāt done it because it canāt be done. This is AWFUL, & she confirms thereās STILL no bloody plan!
#IndependentsDay!

733. The fix is in. If carbon capture and storage was viable big fossil fuel companies would have found a way by now. Yet to pretend to act on climate change the Govt INCREASES taxpayer already massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

Was any āinternal researchā conducted into why rape victims donāt go to the police? What action have the police actually taken in relation to Higgins? Has the man been interviewed or charged? Is he even still in Australia? The public are currently in the dark on these questions.

Trump has not been stripped of his political voice or silenced. He has access to a press agency and the worldās media. He has fallen into his own trap. By dismissing traditional media outlets as āfake newsā he has voluntarily limited his own options.
In Australia, with an election possibly on the horizon and growing evidence of a threat from far-right extremist groups, what is needed is calm, objective and clear leadership. We need swift and decisive condemnation of the violent attack and of the #POTUS for inciting it.
The biggest crisis for our nation since WW11, the deepest slump since the Depression, and Parliament shuts down. SCARY for democracy, scary for the people. #coronacrisis
