If economic management is your yardstick for evaluating a candidate govt… look no further. Here are the graphs, figures (ABS supplied) and arguments that you need. Spoiler alert: you shouldn’t vote for the #LNP.

By getting tangled up on inflation and exaggerating numbers, Peter Dutton has blown the opportunity he was handed https://www.theguardian.com/business/grogonomics/2025/may/01/by-getting-tangled-up-on-inflation-and-exaggerating-numbers-peter-dutton-has-blown-the-opportunity-he-was-handed?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

I live in the seat of Page. Our current MP is Kevin Hogan who is also the shadow trade minister, meaning if the LNP wins he will be the guy handling all of these trade issues with the US.
Page also has Casino, the beef capital of Australia. The LNP want to sidle up to the US but this leaves a conflict of interest - does he side with his electorate and protect the beef industry (which has been a focus of Trump's), or does he side with his party and screw us over?
Interestingly, Labor have a candidate in the area called Wendy Backhaus but I can't find any information on her. The ALP site has a list of all candidates: https://alp.org.au/our-people/our-people/ and the seat of Page isn't listed. I would have thought given the global issues right now and who the opposition is here that they might make an effort.
Does anyone have a way to ask Labor if they plan on doing anything in this seat?

Ring the ALARM Bells…. #Privatisation of public transport infrastructure ensures a decline in services and early retirement of infrastructure assets due to cuts made in order to produce profit for investors. Private enterprise strip the assets bare and then put their greedy little hands out for govt #subsidies to get them out of presumed financial trouble (no one is looking at their deep pockets full of stolen $$ here). It has always been so, it will always be so… what’s so hard to understand here? It plain old #StateTheft. Your tax money going straight into private pockets.After, God I don’t know, one hundred years, govt still make the stupidest decisions and hand over public assets for ‘stripping’ by grifter mates…
Come on Aussies. Don’t vote those fuckers in again… Jezzzz…

After shredding #PotatoHead ‘s performance as an ‘alternative PM’, Joe Dyer, in The Shot, concludes his piece with a logical assertion:
“Australia isn’t the US and a general election is no referendum. When called to demonstrate his credentials as an alternative Prime Minister, Dutton will need more than fanboy copycatting, cynical posturing and the flimsiest of policy fig-leaves.”
I couldn’t agree more. Here is hoping the #AustralianElectorate see it that way as well.

#JamesPaterson actually knows better than he is letting on. He is fully aware that the #Chinese flotilla is doing nothing more than #Australian #warship regurlarly do in international waters off the coast of #China and both do so within the rules of International Laws of the Sea.
All of which fully displays the hypocracy and the devious political shenanigans played by the #LNP . What bothers me is that a large part of the Australian electorate believe this shit. I am counting on the younger generations, with cooler heads and a modicum of intelligence to realise what political games are being played by the #Opposition and vote accordingly come #AusElection25
