Understanding Australia's natural advantage in resources means utilising this in order to provide benefit to Australians First. If you heard my campaign regarding Kogan creek coal reducing our power prices, have a listen here. Will @DavidCrisafulli make it happen? #auspol

🎉 Congratulations to the Queensland State Emergency Service on 50 Years of Service! 🎉 @Qldses @Qldsesva @QPSmedia This weekend QLD SES will march to celebrate a wonderful milestone — 50 years of dedicated service by the Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) and their volunteers. From establishment on 11 December 1975, the Queensland SES has stood on the front line of natural disasters, emergencies, and community support, helping keep Queenslanders safe through floods, storms, cyclones, search and rescue operations, and countless other emergencies. This anniversary is an opportunity to recognise the thousands of volunteers, both past and present, who have generously given their time, skills, and commitment to serving their communities. Their professionalism, courage, and selfless dedication have helped build stronger and more resilient communities across Queensland. To every SES volunteer, support member, family member, and partner organisation who has contributed over the past five decades — thank you for your service. We wish everyone attending the SES 50th Anniversary Parade and Community Showcase in Brisbane a fantastic day of celebration as Queensland honours this remarkable achievement. Join for the community showcase Saturday in King George Square or watch the march from 830am. 👏 Congratulations Queensland SES! #QueenslandSES #SES50Years #ThankYouSES #CommunityService #Volunteers #Queensland #DisasterResponse #EmergencyServices #KeepingQueenslandersSafe #SES50thAnniversary

The social welfare nett should have a hierarchy. 1. Defence Force 2. Pensioners and Aged 3. Disability Should be always be primary then 4. Family support 5. Job seeker Then 5. Education Then only if the budget os balanced 6. Foreign or non citizen support. Its common sense
We've asked our Defence Force veterans to put their life on the line for this country, now the government wants to cap the amount of healthcare they receive in return. While NDIS fraudsters are running out of control, the government is cutting nearly a billion dollars in healthcare funding from our veterans. This is Labor's Budget. Senate Estimates June 2026.

Why has the NDIS created so many millionaires? Are disability outcomes better? How good would they be if those millions weren't going to for profit grifters charging poorly designed rate cards. There's a simple fix 👇 #VoteSmart
People should not become wealthy from NDIS. . “Key figures in the Gillard government, who founded the NDIS, have gone on to chair union-backed super funds that are the biggest financial winners from the disability scheme. In the largest transaction in NDIS history, a firm co-owned by more than a dozen industry funds turned a $28m investment into a $360m payday in just four years. The firm, IFM Investors, used its “private equity” division to buy over 80 per cent of the largest NDIS plan management company, Adelaide-based My Plan Manager, from founder Claire Wittwer-Smith in 2019. Documents obtained by this masthead reveal IFM forked out $26.8m in cash to a former special ed teacher, who had started My Plan Manager (MPM) in 2014 after leaving a job at the National Disability Insurance Agency. At the time of the buy, IFM Investors was chaired by ex federal Labor cabinet minister and one-time ACTU boss Greg Combet. When IFM sold MPM in 2023, Mr Combet had left. But former Labor cabinet minister Lindsay Tanner had joined as a director. IFM Investors is ultimately owned by industry super funds including Hesta – chaired by former Labor health minister Nicola Roxon – and Cbus, whose board is led by ex Labor treasurer Wayne Swan. All four were ministers under Julia Gillard, who founded the NDIS. •••••••••••••••••••••• Disabled people should not be treated like commodities. The fact that NDIS companies can be sold for millions of dollars shows that the scheme has been set up in a way to benefit grifters and not disabled people. It should as no surprise that superannuation funds are involved in this grifting as they have a long established track record in grifting fees from poor working Australians. Nor should it come as no surprise that the Labor party are behind this grifting. Hiding behind their faux bleeding hearts are multimillionaires deceiving taxpayers of hard earned tax dollars and disabled people the proper support they need. And don’t forget the money Superannuation funds pour into foreign owned renewables. Peoplefirstparty.au is the only party prepared to stop these rorts. Sign up today.

Interesting discussion around employment discrimination in relatiin to pregnancy or potenyial oregnancy in a workplace context. It's time to #VoteSmart
#TheSpectator "I'm ... very confused." Transcript of a discussion between Dr Anna Cody - Sex Discrimination Commissioner - and Senator Michaelia Cash regarding the potential of transgender women to become pregnant any discrimination they might face. MC: "Did you ask the Federal Court to extend pregnancy protections to transgender women?" AC: "Senator, not from my recollection ... in the submissions we talked about the meaning of pregnancy and potential pregnancy and how that may apply to transgender identity." MC: "How do you see that applying in the Act currently to transwomen?" AC: "Transwomen. If someone who applies for a job, for example, and it is a transwoman, and she may be asked whether or not she intends to have children and if she replies, 'Yes, I do.' And then doesn't get the job because that employer doesn't want to employ women who may be of child-bearing age then she may have been subjected to unlawful discrimination on the basis of potential pregnancy." MC: "I'm very confused. A biological male cannot become pregnant." AC: "But the grounds of pregnancy includes 'potential pregnancy' as well as pregnancy." MC: "But if they can't become pregnant how can you then become 'potentially pregnant'?" AC: "It's about the unlawful treatment by the employer. If someone is treated unfairly on the basis of pregnancy or potential pregnancy then that is unlawful discrimination on the basis of pregnancy." MC: "So, if a bloke came in and they said, 'Are you going to have children?' Which is the same question, really. And he said, 'Oh, yeah, maybe.' Are you saying that he could also claim that ground?" AC: "If he didn't receive the job because..." MC: "They can't get pregnant." AC: "No. Not a man who is seeking a position then it's not going to apply to a man." MC: "They're both biological men. It makes no sense. A biological man. You stated it. A biological man can't get pregnant. Am I correct? Because if I'm not. I've got to go back to school. I seriously do. Because I missed that lesson in biology. I went to a convent school ... the nuns may not have told me about that. But you said a biological man can't get pregnant." AC: "That's correct, Senator. But someone who is a transwoman may be assumed to be pregnant or to be able to be pregnant." MC: "So, what stops a man putting on a dress, walking in, and claiming the protections? He's now a woman. You've admitted that." AC: "That would be up to a court to decide whether or not it was discrimination on a..." MC: "With all due respect, it is an absurdity of the law yet again which shows - again - the law does need to be changed because, for the record, biological men - doesn't matter what way you cut it - you cannot get pregnant and, quite frankly, it is an insult to women who actually are discriminated on because they want to have children when they biologically can get pregnant. ♦️The good news is that what we're proving today is that the law needs to be changed."

Interesting development on Labor's Mass Immigration ploy, to cut immigration to wedge @OneNationAus Labor is running scared @AusLobby ? #VoteSmart
The Albanese government has quietly slashed a key migration avenue by half in what one expert has suggested is a “political ploy” to throw a spanner in the works for One Nation and the Nationals. Grubs, just complete grubs

A second Turbine at Kogan Creek would have doubled capacity and halved electricity prices for families. Instead, take a look inside the reo at the base of 1 wind turbine. I am ok with solar as an efficiency improver, but these things make zero environmental sense. #VoteSmart
Take a look inside the concrete foundations of Clarke Creek Wind Farm, QLD. 1,600 tonnes of concrete 100 tonnes of steel per foundation. Total project: 120,000 cubic meters of reinforced concrete. After 25 years these will be fatigued and effectively un-reusable. Another massive legacy for future generations. 👇🏽

I was asked yesterday by a staffer of one of the major parties: "Did you change your name just to run?" They were serious, I thought they were joking. I think that speaks volumes about the major party, win at all cost mentality. #VoteSmart

Stafford's only winners: The Greens and Luke Richmond. Without them in coalition with labor, the LNP would have won. Vic park was Labor's pick. #VoteSmart @DavidCrisafulli @StevenJMiles Labor claims victory in by-election in Brisbane, LNP concedes abc.net.au/news/2026-05-17/l…

Well done @DanielSelff , you turned up everyday, with a positive attitude for changing Stafford for the better. Best of wishes for the count. @LibertariansQLD #StaffordVotes #Freeyourselff #VoteSmart
Daniel Selff didn’t put his hand up to run because politics is a career path for him. He’s 34 years old, he’s living through this like so many other Queenslanders — and he believes people who work hard should actually have the chance to get ahead again. YOU WORK HARD
YOU SHOULD GET AHEAD Tomorrow, give Daniel Selff your number 1 in Stafford. 💪🇦🇺 Vote 1 – Daniel Selff for Stafford. #Stafford #auspol @DanielSelff @LibertariansAus @_davidlimbrick @ScottCa73097031 @CampbellNewman @TopherField

Stafford deserves cheaper power while we transition to renewables. Put another turbine at state owned kogan creek, where we already receive baseload in Brisbane. Double capacity, halve our cost. #VoteSmart 1 - even if I don't win, the winner will. That's a magic round.

Look how much coal Australia has ffs. We could power ourselves for thousands of years. But no, the idiots are telling us its bad for the environment but its ok to sell it to China.

Aged care hospital beds funding: Jim Chalmers budget 2026 - Queensland Aged Care Bed Blocking! #VoteSmart for Stafford. People ask, why Damian Smart, did you run in Stafford, and why as an Independent? My answer. I don't accept that Australians should suffer for politics. In the Qld Aged Care funding split of the national scheme, the fed red team (let's call them labor) dislikes a state blue team (lets call them the Qld LNP) and as a result, elects to differentially punish the constituents of that state in trying to 'gotcha' the blue team by cutting urgent health funding, and instead giving it to red team states. Cue the faux outrage in 2 years time from the local red team. This works both ways by the way, but right now this is the gameplay and we, the constituents are the pawns in their game. To be clear I don't care which is which. Australians need their hospitals funded and fixed, not used as a political football! Queensland Health System Context (2026): • Recent figures (Nov 2025) indicated over 1,100 patients were stranded in Queensland hospital beds awaiting aged care or disability services. • Hospital bed expansion projects in Queensland, such as QEII and Redcliffe hospitals, have experienced timeline delays under the new LNP govt compared to the long term labor claims. Key 2026 Budget Outcomes & Queensland Impacts: • No Targeted Immediate Relief: Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki stated the budget offered little for the state, missing key funding to move elderly patients out of public hospitals into appropriate aged care facilities. •Aged Care Bed Shortage: While $1.7 billion nationally will incentivize up to 5,000 new beds annually, concerns remain about the immediate lack of beds. A $115 million targeted capital assistance program for beds was announced in March 2026 focusing on Adelaide, Illawarra, Perth, and the Hunter, with only future rounds planned for other areas. • Longer-Term Capital Incentives: The $3.7 billion investment includes $606.5 million for new capital subsidies for providers to build or expand residential accommodation, but the immediate, acute pressure on Queensland hospitals remains. • Sector Concerns: The Retirement Living Council noted that the $3.7 billion package still leans too heavily on crisis response rather than preventing older Australians from needing hospital care in the first place. If you wish to see change, even if I don't win, push my voice to the top of the red or blue team's attention by putting me above them on the ballot box. #VoteSmart Vote 1 Damian Smart australianageingagenda.com.a…
