To the politicians advocating the No Vote because there’s not enough detail about how the Voice will work, may I respectfully remind them that they are the ones who will work out the detail about how the Voice will work.

Four days after losing Aston which drew criticism that they’re out of touch with modern Australia the Liberals say no to a voice. Newspoll tells us that yes is the favoured option in every state. Only men over 60 disagree.

We need to talk about methane! This morning I called for the government to enact effective methane regulations to limit venting and flaring of gas and to ensure we tighten up the safeguard mechanism and other legislation pathways to drive methane capture. #auspol

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Safeguard Mechanism, and it is surprisingly honest and informative.

Gas is nasty. Want more proof? After decades of living with gas in our homes, researchers finally tried to answer the question... besides methane, what is gas? They found 296 chemicals, 21 of those are air toxins. 95% of samples had benzene. A 🧵...

A tourist asked me recently why there were so many people in wheelchairs in Reykjavik.
I told him his country had them too, but it wasn't as accessible so they stay at home.
Same applies to all minorities. If you don't see them it's because they are hiding.

Remember when they were trying to figure out why there was a giant drop in crime like 30 years ago and they tried to say it was due to better policing…
And then the Freakonomics dudes figured out it’s because an entire generation wasn’t forced to give birth to unwanted kids.

As someone who grew up in the electorate, Hughes having Craig Kelly as Federal member makes sub-zero sense. Has he *ever* represented this community?
It's time to back someone who actually does.

Morrison has a climate problem - he has the same 2030 targets that Tony Abbott signed up to in 2015! Goes to show how impotent Jason Dave Trent & co have been on govt policy. Now they are trying to delay further by spinning 2035 targets! ❌ #independentsday #climateactnow #auspol

Glasgow has come and gone, and the Morrison government averted climate action and dodged immense pressure from world leaders. But can it avoid the next climate-shaped problem coming to the next election?

I loved producing this launch video for the new candidate for Hughes. Seeing how well Georgia's launch has been received makes it clear voters want real action on climate + integrity. The Independent movement grows. It's bound to be an interesting election. #StrongerwithSteele
