Friends, I need your advice. So many of you have so generously donated to my campaign costs (thank you from the bottom of my heart), but I’m still well below what I would need to mount a campaign that would give me some traction. So I need to decide how to spend the money (1)....
(2) ...where I will get the best value for money. What are your thoughts on letterbox drops? I’ve been advised I might need to deliver around 50k leaflets, which is a massive ask for my friends to help me deliver them. But an even bigger issue I have with them is the wastage.....
(3)....not only is it a lot of paper to use, but my observations have been that people hate having these put in their letterboxes, and most go straight in the bin - and into landfill. As someone who wants to reduce waste going into landfill, I have an issue with paying for.....
(4) ... spending hours and hours delivering, making people angry for putting them in their letterboxes, only for them going straight in the bin and to landfill. So. Given this is money so many of you have donated to my campaign, I’d like to ask you for your advice on how best....
(5)....to spend the money I have - which is about $1200 at the moment. So if you are a guru on marketing and have some suggestions on how best to spend your money on my campaign, I’d really LOVE to hear your thoughts!!! chuffed.org/project/bethan…

Reason #1,672 why we need a Federal ICAC. This thread is by the Saturday Paper:
Leaked emails reveal Coalition MP Stuart Robert has been secretly providing advice to a lobbying firm that helps companies win lucrative government contracts and obtain access to politicians (1)
Robert used his status as a federal MP in 2017 and 2018 to help Synergy 360 sign up corporate clients with the promise of helping them navigate the federal public service and political system and meet key decision-makers. (2) campaigns.schwartzmedia.com.au/t/i-l-qiigud-t…
Robert also introduced Synergy 360 to overseas officials and businessmen whom he met in his official capacity as an MP. There is no suggestion that Robert was an employee of Synergy 360 or was paid for his advice and assistance. (🤔3)
(1) The fact is that the LNP are guilty of the inappropriate use of government funds. Christine Holgate has been attacked, bullied and humiliated because she chose to spend $20k on a personal and thoughtful gift, rather than spend $150k on cash bonuses.
(2) Christine Holgate chose to save $130k of taxpayer dollars and give the executives a gift rather than cash bonuses, but she is now being treated like a dirty criminal, when the LNP has misappropriated, stolen and wasted hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.
(3) When Barnaby Joyce paid Angus Taylor $80m for non existent water, for licenses that were actually worth only around $1.4m - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
I'm incredibly angry about the interview that @mjrowland68 did with Greg Hunt this morning. I'm angry at how the Liberal Party has politicised the APS, so I have looked into the advertising guidelines to show that @GregHuntMP has breached the AusGov advertising guidelines -THREAD
According to the AusGov Guidelines on Advertising Campaigns, gov’t advertising campaigns are designed to support the effective delivery & implementation of gov’t policies, programs, assistance, initiatives & services. finance.gov.au/sites/default/…
(3) Non-corporate Commonwealth entities (entities) under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) must comply with these Guidelines. The Department of Health, therefore, MUST comply with these Guidelines.
I’m HORRIFIED & GOBSMACKED with @GregHuntMP’s behaviour on @BreakfastNews just now. It’s disgusting. @mjrowland68 asked a very legitimate question about WHY Greg Hunt has put LIBERAL PARTY BRANDING in the announcements for the vaccine, when it is an AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT thing
(2) I was in the public service for YEARS, including working in government advertising. While the rules around advertising during a campaign preclude using political party promotion in government ads, I have never actually seen such blatant political opportunism from a government
(3) it’s is not the Liberal Party rolling out this vaccine, @GregHuntMP. It is the AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT. It is thousands of public service who do all of the hard work to make this happen while you take credit for the hard work of Australian Public Servants.
A very close friend of mine has just alerted me to a really serious issue related to our health system that will have serious consequences if CMO Brendan Murphy and the Aus Gov don’t act now. This is a thread...
(2) Aust is currently experiencing a shortage of solvents critical to COVID-19 response, due to Australian manufacturers selling overseas. WilmarBioEthanol and Recochem are the only two Aus companies that make the solvents needed in Australia's hospitals and pathology clinics...
(3) But these two companies have decided to sell their product - ethanol and isopropanol - to the highest bidders- overseas companies. Normally 50 cents a litre, now around $2.20 a litre. And the foreign companies in the region are snapping it up. Meaning companies can’t buy it.
Oh wow. @4corners. I’m actually feeling incredibly nauseous after watching tonight’s program. Nauseous, angry, frightened and intimidated. Here’s my take on tonight’s episode....
China are teaching their youth a narrative that the West has humiliated China over the last 100 Years, and now China are flexing their muscles, ready to fill the void when the US collapses as a super power.
Part of this narrative is to infiltrate and influence Australia, and our universities have become the perfect place to do it. Since the Australian Government sucked funding out of Australian universities, the latter has become very dependent on the international student dollar.
