For the major parties housing is just another political game. 🎲 While they score points, we’re struggling with soaring rents and homeownership slipping away. 📈💸 As your Independent MP, I’m done with their games. This isn’t about politics—housing is a right, and it’s time we treated it that way. ✊❤️ It’s time to put aside the partisanship and convene a National Housing Summit with all levels of government working together to come up with long-term solutions.

Given the state of Victoria’s budget, it is crystal clear the Suburban Rail Loop will not be realised in full without substantial Commonwealth support. Yet from the FOI I sought it appears that no information has been shared by the Victorian government to Infrastructure Australia in the last 2 years to allow the project to be properly assessed. As far as I’m concerned, no Commonwealth money should be released for this project without all the facts.

The Liberal party is preferencing One Nation ahead of every other party in almost every seat in the country. A vote for Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party is a preference for Pauline Hanson. #Goldsteinvotes #auspol

It’s been a long process, and after a recount of about 75% of the votes cast, there were only a few votes in it. Today we did not win. But we are not defeated. Hard things are hard, and a better kind of politics is worth fighting for. See you in 2028? Maybe! Link to video

Today the State govt announced plans for high-density housing projects near railway stations in Goldstein. You can't just make up housing policy and announce it in the newspapers. I hope the State has some kind of a plan to consult our community. If it does, I haven't seen it yet.

Let’s get serious. I’m not ideologically anti nuclear, but this is not serious policy. Here’s why.

Dutton's smokescreen insurance. A vote for Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party is a vote for more inaction on climate AND cost-of-living. Proof? His unwillingness to address the real reasons your insurance premiums are rising.

Big win for young Australians - Independence Works! After I pushed for HECS to be excluded from mortgage eligibility, the govt listened. Banks can now leave HELP debt out of some lending assessments. But we’re not done. We need a National Housing Summit to tackle affordability.

Thanks to every single one of you who came to our massive Town Hall event last night. Independence IS the difference. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are Goldstein, and we are independent. #auspol

Peter Dutton has done a preference deal with One Nation. If you didn’t know, that’s the point—they’re hoping you won’t notice. This is what the Liberal Party has become. In Goldstein, we say no to fear and division. #VoteIndependent #Goldstein #Auspol

Today I introduced my Private Members’ Bill in Parliament to address the urgent need for Australia to have comprehensive and effective laws to combat the harms caused by social media. It’s time the Big-Tech giants were made to manage their algorithms to make our online experience safe. It’s time we stopped asking users and parents to find a solution for social media harm. It’s time the operators of these platforms stepped up. That’s what my Bill will achieve.

Asked what policies he had for women, Dutton offered a fuel discount for “women driving to work or driving kids around.” What about safety, Peter? Early education? Workforce participation? Seriously — vote independent. Independence works for women.

A sickening video targeting one of my female crossbench colleagues shows just how low politics has sunk. Abuse, lies and now a metaphor for violence against women—while women die each week from gender-based violence. Silence from male leaders is not good enough. The women of the crossbench won’t be cowed.

3 childcare questions for the Opposition Leader 1. You oppose universal childcare but want parents in the office 5 days a week—how? 2. With a 20% gender pay gap, how will women close it if they can’t afford to work? 3. Women retire with 25% less super—what’s your plan if they can’t access childcare? #UniversalChildcare #GoldsteinVotes

I'll be doing something on Monday that is long overdue. I'll be tabling a Private Members’ Bill to ban gambling advertising on broadcast. I announced this to Goldstein on Thursday night. Watch their reactions. This is now a live issue. #BanSportsGambling #auspol

As a member of the cross bench, my role is to call out uncomfortable truths that the major parties don't want to. I don't think that we can walk on eggshells around Donald Trump for the next four years. We need to think about our over-reliance on the US alliance.

Peter Dutton: “I’m not a scientist.” Zoe Daniel: “Neither am I. That’s why I listen to them.” When experts warn us about climate change, real leaders act—not hide. Vote 1 Zoe Daniel. Because denial isn’t leadership. #ClimateAction #VoteIndependent #GoldsteinVotes

We need electoral reform, but not in the form of a stitch-up that favours the 2-party system and locks communities out of democracy. The government’s electoral reform bill needs proper scrutiny. Watch.
