Bernie has my respect. He’s also right. Any hope of ending the war in Gaza lies with a Kamala Harris presidency. #FatNixon would give his blessing to Netanyahu to do anything he wanted in Gaza with no reprisals. Harris is no fan of Bibi, and that’s a good thing.
I’ve been all over the country in the last month. And I get asked the same question, over and over again: “I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?” Here is my answer:

90% of the LNP voted against decriminalisation of abortion. Their candidates are telling people the laws will change when they're elected. Queenslanders do not want to go back. #qldpol #qldvotes

#QLDLabor made a plan (the Qld Energy and Jobs Plan) for a better, cleaner future. And even since September 2022, generation has outpaced those plans! Such massive changes don't happen overnight, but they do happen! And they are. #QLDelection #qldvotes

Queenslanders, if you haven't voted yet, please get behind @StevenJMiles and his government. They are taking Queenslanders forward, not back to the 1950s. #QueenslandVotes #QldSmilesWithMiles #QLDLabor
Please get @StevenJMiles over the line, the polls are tightening and your support at this eleventh hour liking, reposting, commenting on Miles’ extraordinary pitch to be re-elected could make all the difference!!! Come on let’s get busy, the clock is ticking. It’s not too late!

You know those 5 o’clock drops that the media get from governments or oppositions on a Friday afternoon - quietly with no fanfare? It’s for good reason. They hardly get a mention before the weekend. … So…. Is a last-minute drop from the QLD LNP of their costings at the 11th hour - just before the media blackout on the election… …. as dodgy as fk? The QLD LNP have been hiding their costings until the very last minute to attract no scrutiny.. .. while QLD Labor’s costings and policies are detailed and analysed. What are the QLD LNP hiding? Is Dave as dodgy as they say he is? Don’t vote for Dodgy Dave and the QLD LNP.

Was this on @abcnews Brisbane tonight?
Steven Miles slams David Crisafulli for refusing to accept QLD Police data showing a “reduction” in youth crime & making up his own figures. Miles “A responsible leader would accept statistics provided by police, rather than having his office come up with other ones”💥#QLDVotes

OK, Trump apologists and normalisers in Australia. He’s really saying it out loud now. What are you going to do?
Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”

BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.

Under Dutton’s plan, nuclear energy would go from being 0% of our current energy mix, to about 11%. Over the same time, gas would go from being 5% of our current energy mix, to 55%. It’s not a nuclear plan, it’s a gas plan.

Peter Dutton and Michaelia Cash disapprove of this three-eyed Blinky Bill meme and they definitely do not want it to be shared around. You know what to do. #auspol
