Today, I introduced my Voter Protections in Political Advertising Bill. Voters of all persuasions overwhelmingly support political advertising being held to the same standards as commercial advertising. #auspol #stopthelies

Hooray HUGE win! This comes after years of community pressure against PEP11, topped by the fact I made it an election issue for Mackellar. Thank you Surfrider F & Zali for leading the way…imagine what we can do together if Mackellar is Independent #auspol smh.com.au/politics/nsw/need…

There was so much excess energy from solar over summer that power wasn’t just free, generators had to pay retailers in SA to take it. SA now consistently has the lowest wholesale prices in the national energy market due to renewables. @ChrisRussellBiz adelaidenow.com.au/news/sout…

- AEMO? More gas generation not needed - CSIRO? Gas generation = expensive electricity - Economists? Gas extraction creates very few jobs - Scientists? Gas incompatible with our Paris goals - Investors? Gas has bad returns. No $. Politicians? <Ignore experts> MORE GAS! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Taxpayers expect money to be spent transparently. It is concerning that huge amounts of public money is going to big Ag, not better water management. We need a federal integrity commission to investigate breaches now. #MurrayDarlingBasin #auspol #watercrisis @4corners
Experts say a full and transparent assessment of the water infrastructure scheme and the Murray-Darling Basin Plan itself is badly needed. #4Corners #CashSplash #auspol

I honestly don't understand why we have had nearly ten years of pretending that the Adani Carmichael mine is viable. Here's some really simple maths explaining why it just doesn't stand up financially: 1. Plan is for a 10m ton per year mine, rising to 20mtpa
