Remember the Coalition’s “Back in Black” mugs? ☕ They printed them but never delivered a surplus. Labor’s delivered 2 back-to-back surpluses, cut debt, kept unemployment low &amp; found $100B in savings. You’ve have to be a mug to think that the Coalition can manage money #auspol

There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. With proper gear, a run in the Canberra snow becomes a mountain adventure. ❄️🏔️🏃‍♂️ #auspolrunners #auspol

One Nation say they like straight talk. So here it is: if you ban journalists, blame migrants and vote against workers, you’re not offering courage. You’re offering chaos. #auspol

For a party that lectures Australians about hard work, One Nation has a remarkably flexible approach to showing up: full-time grievance, part-time parliament. #auspol

Who does One Nation stand for – battlers or billionaires?

Noticing more One Nation content in your feed? Before you decide to hit play, it’s worth taking a closer look at what they’re actually proposing.

Pauline Hanson is long on grievance and short on answers. Labor is tackling housing, wages and cost of living. One Nation keeps choosing billionaires over battlers. #auspol

Bitcoin or Australian businesses? Labor’s tax reforms ask a simple question: should the tax system encourage speculation or productive investment that helps grow the Australian economy? We’re choosing productivity #auspol

Talk about misleading. They call themselves “One Nation”, but they’re all about dividing people. #auspol

One Nation talks about battlers, but their policies back billionaires. Labor is focused on raising wages and protecting workers. #auspol

One Nation want to trick you into voting for them by making you angry. But true patriots deal in facts, not fear. My response to the commentary on my latest video. #auspol

Labor reforms – the Coalition opposes. They opposed uniform taxation, CGT, FBT and universal superannuation. No surprise now that they’re opposing tax reforms that boost fairness and help first home buyers. #auspol

Canberra is stronger because so many Indian Australians call it home. Their contribution spans science, small business, public service and community life, and it shows in every festival, temple and neighbourhood gathering across our city. #auspol

One Nation: scandal, incompetence and disunity. Three decades of chaos unmatched in Australian politics. #auspol

Migrants build our homes, power our economy, and strengthen our communities. Walking away from a non-discriminatory immigration policy isn’t strength. It’s insecurity. #auspol

Sydney to Canberra by train? Beautiful… but a little slow. We’re investing to get travel time down below 4 hours. Greener, cheaper, more productive. 🚆

The Coalition opposed Medicare. They opposed universal super. They opposed capital gains tax. Now they're opposing reforms to make housing more affordable &amp; the tax system fairer. Labor's job is to govern. The Opposition's job seems to be saying no #auspol

The House has just passed Labor’s tax reform bills. The Coalition opposed Medicare, capital gains tax, universal super and now fairer housing tax settings. Labor is backing workers and first home buyers. #auspol

I’m sick of the Coalition demonising migrants. Surveys show 9 in 10 Aussies back multiculturalism. That’s the real story: unity, not division. #auspol

Predictable scare tactics: Labor introduces serious reform and the Liberals bring on a fear campaign. But if scare campaigns wrote the rules, Australia would never make the changes that widen opportunity and lift dynamism.

Saving a 20% deposit can feel impossible. From 1 Oct, first-home buyers will need just 5% down with no mortgage insurance. We’re making it easier to turn the dream of owning a home into reality. 🏠✨ #auspol

Throughout history, the Coalition has opposed big reforms. They fought uniform income tax, capital gains tax, fringe benefits tax and universal super. Now they’re opposing a Budget that cuts income taxes, builds homes and lifts productivity. #auspol
