“GetUp! is a force for good in Australian civic life – it gives voice to ordinary Australians on issues that matter most and moves the needle on those issues. It's a true honour to be part of that.” Ilic said. “But I want to be upfront about priorities: my first act as CEO will be launching legal proceedings against One Nation for unauthorised use of the colour orange.” GetUp's been using the colour since 2005.

When she's right, she's right 🤷‍♀️ Jacqui Lambie has absolutely destroyed the myth of Pauline Hanson in one volcanic rant on Sky News.

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, is thinking about his dynasty while planning for an American Civil War that he is, in part, engineering through this social media platform. This is a chilling reminder of exactly why we need to opt out of these extremist algorithms that are quite literally designed to destroy us. And a reminder that billionaires (and trillionaires) are not your friends: They are working against you.

Replying to @corybernardi @OneNationAus @one_nationSA
Keep digging that hole, bernardi. After legal threats he quickly deleted his video of him harassing and intimidating and humiliating a girl to say an offensive slogan against his own leader. Your wife and sons must be so proud of him.

A liar gets called out and makes up another story. He's holding a prop email for a campaign we started AFTER he was banned that also has nothing to do with him. What a pathetic excuse for a leader @OneNationAus have installed in South Australia. What is Cory actually doing with his taxpayer-funded salary other than bullying children on the internet and making up lies about us? Hey, Cory, go ahead and read the email out. We'd love for you to present some actual evidence of your accusations rather than just wave props around.

What is it with lefties and lies? GetUp ran a coordinated campaign to get One Nation banned from Facebook… then denied it ever happened. Here’s the email they don’t want you to see. The left hate One Nation because they hate you. They’re driving this country into the ground, only One Nation can rebuild it. #onenation #paulinehanson #australia

This is not a sponsored post for knives. 🔪 Honestly even just gathering my research for this turned up a bunch more horrible examples of far-right violent extremism. I'm looking at you Perth...lots of attempted terrorist attacks by white supremacists. I sure hope you didn't just elect a One Nation candidate... 👀👀👀

Pauline Hanson says she tells it like it is. But her record says otherwise. She’s opposed wage rises, affordable childcare, higher pensions and affordable housing measures – every time working Australians needed someone to fight for them. We thought someone should say it plainly. So we did. Bullshit, Pauline.

This is incredibly important. Huge credit to @SharazDavid and @GetUp! for taking on an issue that affects every Australian. We should all support a free press. We should also support accountability. Right now, there is far too little accountability for inaccurate, misleading and unethical journalism. That needs to change urgently. If you care about fairness, transparency and better journalism, please sign and share.

More people are certain they would NEVER vote for One Nation than people who are certain they would. This Temu-Trump party doesn't have many real supporters and their polling numbers are incredibly soft.

Albanese has signalled that he is not taking the call for a tax on gas companies seriously and won't go forward with it despite it being wildly popular amongst Australians from all sides of politics and walks of life. Why? Simple. He cares more about gas companies than you. He doesn't take YOU seriously.

Anthony Albanese has signalled that he isn't taking the huge, bipartisan, national call for a gas tax seriously. What's funny about that is he is supposed to work for you, not gas companies. He doesn't take YOU seriously.

The government has announced huge cuts to the NDIS to save money and stop corruption, saving $15 billion over five years. And we SHOULD end corrupt misuse of our systems – but not boot 150,000 people off support they rely on. Here are a few better ways to save $15B OR MORE in ONE year by taxing the rich who rort us and our tax system

Making sure the 1/3 of big corporations paying $0 in tax actually pay up. We don't know exactly how much this would raise but the remaining 2/3 raised almost $100 Billion last financial year and some of the biggest earners paid $0.

It is hypocritical and ruthless to cut public services to the Australian people when the ultra-wealthy, the billionaires, and huge corporations are rorting our systems and the Australian people every day.
