Just before the last election, Scott Morrison snuck into Kooyong - no invite, no photo with Frydenberg.
Tonight, Dutton does the same, meeting Hamer behind closed doors.
They want Kooyong's vote, but won’t face Kooyong.
Cowardly. Pathetic.

Day 2 of ignoring council orders at Kew pre-poll, and the Liberals have escalated - they’ve sent in Liberals in blazers to show they mean business.
Council officers are snapping pics. Hope the Liberals have budgeted for fines. Those fossil fuel donations will come in handy.

Wow, I thought I was just capturing an odd Liberal campaigning tactic on Glenferrie Road.
Turns out it was the Exclusive Brethren - a hardline religious evangelical sect - out campaigning for Amelia Hamer.
What's going on?
Dr Ann Capling retweeted
A significant reduction in Liberal volunteers for Amelia Hamer today after religious sect / cult members from the Exclusive Brethren were told to stay away.
I guess the religious infiltration wasn’t a great look once the public found out?

Peter Dutton needs to find voters who love his plan to make life harder for students as much as Amelia Hamer does…

A Melbourne surgeon has admitted tearing down the election sign before tutoring men in how to “bury the body”, outraging anti-violence campaigners and politicians.

This morning Amelia Hamer tried to steal every bit of spot for a sign at Malvern Prepoll.
In 2022, we had a respectful relationship with Josh Frydenberg’s team to limit signs and volunteers.
This behaviour is childish, petty, and unbecoming for someone seeking office #auspol

Consistently solid turnouts.
@DebLeonard already has extremely strong support in the south of her electorate, and her support in the north is looking increasingly solid.
Keep an eye on Monash. This could be one seat that decides the 48th parliament.
Politics in the Pub in Warragul last night was fantastic! Great discussions on infrastructure for our region and a mutual agreement that Monash has been left behind by the major parties in terms of federal funding. Thanks to all who attended. #peoplepoweredpolitics

Great to be able to rejoin the @Mon4Kooyong campaign after months away!
Doorknocking in the rain and happy to have been asked to install 10 yard signs as a result!
Kooyong includes Toorak and Malvern now and could come down to a couple hundred votes. Time to volunteer! #auspol

Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.
Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.
Not when our country is at stake.

Trump has been relying on US allies to be intimidated into silence, and not stand up for each other. 🇩🇰 PM Mette Fredriksen was blindsided over Greenland but is now standing up to Trump. So are all the 🇨🇦 Canadian leaders. Other countries need to do the same - together and fast.
🇩🇰 Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected the American president’s remarks, saying, “Zelenskyy is a democratically elected and, by the way, an extraordinarily capable political leader in Europe, who (…) has fought every single day for the peace, freedom, and security of Europe, and thus also for the Americans.”
Denmark ❤️

Trump is treating
• US contracts + treaties as opportunities for extortion
• US allies as clients to be fleeced
• US security guarantees as protection rackets.
He is not forming alliances for a more stable + prosperous world.
His is introducing the code of the mafia.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.
