What is it with Australian politicians + hi-vis? Does any other nation have their prime ministers dress up in fossil fuelled uniforms to show who they're owned by?

The OpenAustralia Foundation needs someone with fundraising experience to help us run a campaign. 🗳️

We build free, open-source civic tech that enables people to participate more fully in their democracy: #PlanningAlerts, #RightToKnow, #TheyVoteForYou, and #OpenAustralia.

Unfortunately we’ve seen an increase in automated services sending too many requests to theyvoteforyou.org.au.

We have been forced to implement some extra security measures - these shouldn’t impact humans but if you are having any issues, please let us know.

@oaf So, Monique Ryan has this thing of wanting to name weather events after fossil fuel companies. I think we should name them after the people responsible, like Kate Chaney, whose father was a director of Woodside, a company she supports.

Cyclone Chaney has a certain ring to it, yeah?

@oaf It amuses me greatly, because how do you have climate action without human rights? Answer: you don't. But try telling that to #climate200 wonks like Monique Ryan:

@oaf Now lets try out the individual ones, along with how Mastodon does replies...and we're talking about 80 of them, but lets see how that goes.
Shall we start with those wonderful meritorious community independents that everyone froths their mouths over, thinking that they're not racist?
hmm...
COME ON DOWN DAVID POCOCK:

@oaf OH HAI ❤️
Let's test this thing out, shall we?
Did you know that one of the most racist policies Australia has is Compulsory Income Management aka policy 298 for you? My favourite thing about you is seeing exactly who votes for this policy.
I'm new to mastodon, so just wondering what links look like here...let's test 'em out:
edit - oh, nice!

Our chair @kattekrab is talking about all our services at @everythingopen! #EverythingOpen #eo2026 #RightToKnow #PlanningAlerts #Transparency #OpenGovernment #TheyVoteForYou

Thank you to everyone who's written in about They Vote For You and OpenAustralia.org, and why there have been no updates since mid-March. Rest assured, we're aware of the issue and are working to fix it. #AusPol #TheyVoteForYou #TVFY #OpenAustralia #OAF #OpenAustraliaFoundation

Thank you for your patience as we work on retrieving and updating the divisions that have been missing from They Vote For You! We'll be continuing to work on this over the holiday season.

We've learned that a screenshot of They Vote For You is being shared online that shows Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as a supporter of the Voice. This is clearly wrong and is connected to the error we posted about last week.

If you'd like to know more about what happened and what we've done in response, please see our new blog post on the subject https://www.oaf.org.au/2023/09/01/they-vote-for-you-theres-something-wrong-with-peter-duttons-voting-record/

#AusPol #TheVoice #Voice #TheyVoteForYou #TVFY

Last week we shared a policy on the Voice to Parliament, but we've since realised that policy had several issues affecting its accuracy.

We've now replaced it with: (1) for a referendum on the Voice at theyvoteforyou.org.au/policies/308 and (2) for implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart at theyvoteforyou.org.au/policies/309

We apologise for this error, especially given the importance of the Voice.

The latest divisions are once again appearing on They Vote For You! We're now going to be working through each one to edit it into plain language and attach it to any relevant policy areas.

Senator for NSW Andrew Bragg threatens OpenAustralia Foundation with legal action
https://www.oaf.org.au/2022/03/23/senator-for-nsw-andrew-bragg-threatens-openaustralia-foundation-with-legal-action/

Poor form for LNP Senator Andrew Bragg to attack @oaf like this. To me, Andrew Bragg looks like a bully who's misusing the legal process to stop people from sharing information on how he voted.
You can't silence the truth.
One year on from his attack, it turned-out to be only hot air. Like his parliamentary career: all talk, no action.
