The PM and other major party politicians are getting their figures from the gas industry rather than the ATO and Treasury 🤯 Whose side are they on? When you try and interrogate these figures from the gas lobby you get “PAGE NOT FOUND”. You cannot make this stuff up! Head to to get involved. The only way we win this is if the major parties know they will continue to lose votes at the next election if they don't put Australians first.

Data centres could be an opportunity for Australia but only if we get the settings right and plan for the long term. That means putting in place strong power and water safeguards, ensuring they are appropriately located, guaranteeing local compute access for Australian companies and introducing some kind of data centre tax - which we have heard nothing about from government. These companies are experts at profit shifting offshore and we need to retain some benefit here in Australia. We also need to see far greater investment in retraining workers who face job displacement due to AI and make sure we're not make housing affordability worse if data centres are taking away from our construction workforce.

The Shell Australia Country Chair just told the Senate committee that 6 or 7 gas companies have contributed $1 million each to fund a huge campaign against a gas export tax 🤯 and smaller companies have also contributed. Gas companies are spending millions to ensure Australians aren't paid a fair share for the export of our gas. Go to to help fight back against their propaganda.

We don’t have a gas shortage, we have a gas export problem. Australian gas should go to Australians first. Redirecting uncontracted gas to 🇦🇺 would solve any ‘shortages’ we may have and bring down prices for manufacturers, businesses and households. The major parties have to stop prioritising foreign multinationals and other countries over Australian households and businesses.

Mortgage repayments & rents are going through the roof while the RBA signals its intention to continue increasing interest rates. Surely there’s a better way to cool the economy without pulling cash out of the pockets of Australians & pouring it into the coffers of the banks.

We have to start treating housing as something we want to be affordable, not just an investment vehicle so reforms that use tax settings to incentivise new housing supply are welcome. But I have concerns about how CGT changes could impact startups and small businesses. I've written to the Treasurer anout this & raised concerns with the Assistant Treasurer. We have a chance to ensure better tax treatment for people investing in Australian startups and help keep those startups in 🇦🇺 as they grow.

Six months until Australians will have the chance to vote for Constitutional recognition and a Voice to Parliament. Prof Megan Davis, who was co-chair of the Uluṟu Dialogue, a member of the Prime Minister’s Referendum Council from 2015-2017 and more recently on the Referendum Working Group, talks about the need for changing the way we develop policy that affects First Nations people.

We’re already hearing misinformation & we’ll hear more. It’s up to all of us to keep the debate respectful & based on fact. The Voice is an opportunity to move forward as a country & ensure Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people can provide advice on laws that affect them.

I don't think it's fair for the government to change the tax rules for Australians and Australian small businesses but rule out changing the tax settings for major multinational companies from data centres to the gas industry. Australians deserve a fair return. Go to and join the call for a 25% tax on gas exports.

Ignoring this advice entrenches inequality & leaves people in our communities behind, including the 1 in 6 children growing up in poverty. As a wealthy country we can ensure people aren't having to choose between medicine & food so they can get back on their feet & contribute.
