Eye surgeons are warning Labor's rebate cut could cost older Australians their sight. Gold cover funds cataract surgery — price over-65s out of it and that surgery joins a public queue. Don't lose sight of our seniors. Scan the QR Code below and join our campaign!

A computer decides your aged care. Labor voted to keep it that way.

Why is Labor penalising older Australians? Mark Butler was asked on @FIVEaa. Listen.

$1,800 for a pair of crutches. Hardship applications up 88% in two months. Labor's aged care system is failing 200,000 Australians. Senator Ruston's reaction to the watchdog's speech at the National Press Club 👇

A huge congratulations to Spain 🇪🇸 on winning the FIFA World Cup — undoubtedly the best team on the pitch today. What a finish from Ferran Torres to find the back of the net 🥅! Commiserations to Argentina and the great Lionel Messi on what may be his final World Cup. ⚽🏆

Great to be with @AUSVEG at AE Cranwell & Sons to sign the "Pledge for More Veg" SA is one of the country's key Brussels sprout regions – part of a $30.6m national crop – but growers are under real cost pressure. More Aussie-grown veg backs our health, budgets & farmers.

Since November 2025, an algorithm has had the final say on care for older Australians — no human able to overrule it. Our Bill passed the Senate on 2 July to put people, not algorithms, back in charge.

Two of Australia's most respected aged care experts – Prof Kathy Eagar AM, who designed our aged care funding model, and Paul Sadler, 38 years in the sector – have a clear message for the Govt: stop trusting a computer algorithm over expert assessors. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/07/a…

When Labor runs out of money, they come after yours. What will they come after next?

Fantastic to see our Socceroos go through to the next round! It was a tense game and the team showed steely determination with an amazingly disciplined defence!

The Coalition's Bill puts assessors — not algorithms — back in charge of aged care decisions. The Integrated Assessment Tool has had final say with no human override. Review requests have shot up nearly 500% in five months. Older Australians are people, not data points.

Wishing the Socceroos every success as they wear the green and gold with pride. 🇦🇺 Australia is cheering you on.

Congratulations to Lincoln Folo on his appointment as Federal Director of the Liberal Party. A respected campaigner with real experience and a deep commitment to Liberal values. I look forward to working with him. Thank you to Andrew Hirst for nine years of outstanding service.

Older Australians deserve care decisions crafted by clinicians, not algorithms. Labor put an untested algorithm system in charge of life-changing aged care assessments without proper consultation, live trials or transparency. Older Australians deserve better.

Federal Council is always a reminder of why this work matters. Standing alongside @SenatorCash and @SenatorHume this weekend. Two of the most capable, committed people in Australian politics, and two of my fellow Liberal leaders. I couldn't feel more optimistic about where we're headed. @AngusTaylorMP has set the agenda. @HonTonyAbbott is organising the fightback. And we are ready.

Older Australians deserve honesty about aged care wait times but after four years of Labor the waiting list is double what it was when Anthony Albanese came to power. Mark Butler will tell you Labor's record is "incredibly pleasing." Hardly, it means 100,000 older Australians are being denied the care the Government has assessed them as needing.

Higher taxes on housing, investments, small business and family inheritances will hurt hardworking Australians already doing it tough. Australians deserve lower taxes, stronger growth and a government that lives within its means. Sign the petition to say NO to Labor’s tax hikes. lnkd.in/gsiyETg5

Labor’s attack on private health rebates is another hit to older Australians already doing it tough. More than 3 million Australians over 65 could be forced to pay more for the health cover they rely on. Seniors deserve support not higher costs and longer waits. If you agree, sign the petition and stand up for older Australians. 👇 liberal.org.au/handsoffhealth

Today Australia lost a true fighter. Neale Daniher showed the nation what courage, resilience and determination look like in the face of Motor Neurone Disease. His fight inspired millions, united communities, and changed lives forever through his tireless advocacy and the incredible work behind FightMND. A legend of the game. A giant of humanity. Rest in peace, Neale. Your legacy will never fade. 💙
