If we don’t have fertilizer we can’t grow food. It’s time we started making and growing what we need right here in Australia. Labor must get out of the way and let our farmers get on with farming. 🇦🇺🌾

Under the Albanese government, Treasury is now modelling a national system that would charge drivers per kilometre travelled. Options being considered include GPS tracking similar to rideshare apps or annual odometer reporting, both of which raise serious questions about cost, complexity and privacy. It would also require a new layer of administration to monitor, collect and enforce the charge nationwide. This is not reform, but another Labor tax grab.

Australia is worth fighting for. Right now families are getting squeezed. Interest rates up, fuel up, groceries up, power bills up and the dream of owning a home is slipping further out of reach. Our standard of living is going backwards. Life under Labor is harder.

14 rate rises under Labor is not bad luck, it's bad policy from a Prime Minister addicted to spending. Labor has lost control of inflation and Australians are paying for it.

Are you worried about fuel prices? Are you cancelling or re-thinking family holiday plans for Easter? Are you wondering how our country can continue to produce and distribute food if the petrol and diesel runs out? Welcome to life without fossil fuels - or as the Labor Party prefers to call it: Net Zero. If you thought the next few weeks will be tough with the current fuel scarcity, imagine what the rest of your life will be like in Labor’s net zero utopia. It’s time to dump Labor and their fantasy economics before it’s too late.

STATEMENT Democracy, human rights, the rule of law, equality and a fair go for all. None of these things are possible without western civilisation. For too long, we in the West have been unwilling to stand for our values and too timid to defend ourselves and our allies against totalitarian and dictatorial aggression. What we refuse to defend, we cannot hope to maintain. Now the United States and Israel are taking a stand against an evil regime that tortures its citizens, represses its women and attacks our democratic allies, including within Australia. I hope and pray that, with Western help, the Iranian people will quickly rise up and overthrow their oppressors.

Yesterday the Prime Minister called Grace Tame “difficult”, but consistent with his normal style, today he’s pretending he was misunderstood. Happily, there is a single word that describes both Albo and Grace Tame: “Divisive”.

Today the Liberal Party voted for Angus Taylor to be our new leader and the leader of the opposition. This is a fresh beginning for the Liberal Party. Under Taylor’s leadership, the Liberal Party will be putting Australian families first. We will get government out of your pocket and let you keep more of your money. We will put Australians first. Always.

It’s time for the Liberal Party to fight for Australia

It’s time to put Australia’s interest over Labor’s interest. Royal Commission now. #RoyalCommissionNow #NationalInterestFirst #AlboActNow #LeadershipMatters #AccountabilityForAustralia #NoMoreDelays

He couldn’t even stand in front of an Australian flag. 😡

Speaking in Canberra about the Bondi massacre, the Prime Minister couldn’t even stand in front of an Australian flag. In a moment that demanded unity, respect and leadership. Our nation deserves better. 🇦🇺 #auspol #LeadershipMatters #RespectAustralia

I love Australia, but like you, I do not recognise an Australia in which innocent people are murdered on a Sunday afternoon at the beach while celebrating their culture and their community. That is not the country we believe in, and it is not the country we should accept.   The tragedy in Bondi demands honesty, not cowardice and evasion.   The largest loss of Jewish life outside Israel since 7 October 2023 occurred here, on Australian soil. That fact alone should shame a nation that prides itself on tolerance, decency, and the rule of law. It is a stain on our national conscience and on the values we claim to uphold. This did not happen in a vacuum. It followed years of tolerated, if not encouraged, antisemitic intimidation, marches that crossed from protest into menace, and a political culture unwilling to draw clear moral boundaries. When hatred is normalised, when excuses are made, and when warnings are ignored, consequences follow. The Prime Minister cannot credibly express surprise. His government has repeatedly chosen equivocation over clarity. It has distanced itself from Israel, a democratic ally and friend fighting for their very survival; instead choosing to stand alongside a registered terrorist organisation both rhetorically and politically. At home, antisemitism was minimised, indulged, or ignored.  The Albanese government's inaction allowed antisemitism and terrorism to fester and grow.   Leadership is not about statements after the fact. It is about moral resolve before violence erupts. On that test, this government has failed. That failure has resulted in the loss of 15 innocent lives, proud Australians gunned down by people who wish us harm.   We must set a clear threshold in our national interest: those who wish to harm Australia do not belong here, and those who reject our values have no claim to remain within our community. We are a tolerant and generous country; but some seek to exploit that generosity and to destroy the very society that affords it.   My deepest sympathies and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the Jewish community. We cannot allow their deaths to be in vain. Australia must recover its moral clarity, confront antisemitism without hesitation, and reassert the values that make this country worth defending.

Australians should not be afraid to go to the beach or to celebrate who they are. When people feel unsafe in their own country something has gone deeply wrong. Words are no longer enough. Action is needed to protect our values and keep Australians safe. #Bondi #PublicSafety #NationalSecurity #AntiSemitism #AustralianValues #Leadership #CommunitySafety

Last night we heard firsthand about the damage Labor’s failed net zero experiment has inflicted on our great state. Once a manufacturing powerhouse, South Australia has seen its industry decimated by Labors obsessive pursuit of emissions targets, while families and businesses pay the price through higher energy costs. Thank you to Senator Matt Canavan for travelling the country and leading the “Why We Should Dump Net Zero” forums and to everyone who came along to engage in this important conversation. Our plan is clear: put energy affordability and reliability at the centre of the power grid, not ideological net zero targets.

For too long, this government has stood alongside those who wish us harm, and against those who wish us well. It’s time for change.
