Social media used to be about following your friends, but increasingly it’s serving up outrage. We need to rein in the angry algorithms that are polarising society. #auspol

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.

Your croissant shouldn’t be priced like it’s been flown in from France. Labor’s price gouging laws kick in today, giving the competition watchdog more resources to crack down on excessive supermarket prices. #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 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

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

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

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

Who does One Nation stand for – battlers or billionaires?

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

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. 🚆

One Nation’s “House of Grievances” has plenty of drama, but no plan. #auspol

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

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

Three parties. Same bad idea. One Nation, the Liberals and Nationals all want to weaken super. Australians deserve more in retirement, not less #auspol

Tomorrow is Census Day. Your answers help decide where services and infrastructure go. Filling it out is a small act that helps your community. Make sure you’re counted. #auspol

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

Liberal. National. One Nation. One ticket gets you all three. #auspol

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