WHILE AUSSIES GO BACKWARDS, LABOR CELEBRATES
The bizarre assertions by Labor that everyday Aussies have never been better off than under their government continued this week with a back-patting motion in the House yesterday.
While celebrating their ‘tax cuts’ and ‘wage increases’ they ignore they are the highest taxing government in history and that rampant inflation has eroded the value of a hard earned dollar and we’ve never paid so much for so little. Labor’s policies have driven that home-grown inflation and will continue to do so.
The Nationals have a tax plan that will truly help everyday Australians while advancing our economy.
For our plan, see here:

Passionate words in support of our people and businesses - enduring constant degradation in community wellbeing - especially in the regions. Thank you Pat Conaghan MP. Dismal and disturbing statistics on Labor's watch. Witnessing the treatment in the past 24 hours of our veterans starkly exposes the attitudes and hostility in PM Albanese, his ministers and members of his Party.
Where's the Australian flag?
Thank you Pat Conaghan, we appreciate all your efforts fighting against Labor.
Should be PM 🤝👍
Load of 🐂
The politicians are the only ones who are better off. Albanese just got a $57 thousand pay rise. Pensioners have to live on half of that for a year.
Labor must go.
Labor government is absolutely corrupt and useless
LEST WE FORGET
Today, on Vietnams Veteran’s Day, we pause to reflect on the men and women who willingly gave their service and lives in aide of our great nation and its allies through the longest military engagement of the 20th Century.
We honour those 60,000 Australians who served during a decade of conflict between 1962 and 1972, three thousand of whom were wounded and 524 who lost their lives. We commemorate all battles fought by Australians in Vietnam, from large-scale operations to platoon and section-level encounters.
We remember the sailors of the Royal Australian Navy who supported land operations, and members of the Royal Australian Air Force who served in combat and transport roles.
Today we also recognise that those who returned were not always welcomed with thanks and fanfare. Instead, many endured derision and contempt from their fellow Australians, the very people whose lives and liberties those who enlisted had sworn to protect.
The Vietnam War forced modern Australians to acknowledge that the scars inflicted from War are not always visible. The Vietnam Veterans Counselling service was established in their honour, now name Open Arms Veterans and Families Counselling, an essential organisation that has been operating for 43 years and inspired many of the support services that have since been created for our brave men and women in the Armed Forces.
On behalf of our communities, I extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to all our service men and women, past and present. I acknowledge your courage, dedication and sacrifice. Thank you for your service.
And to all families and loved ones of those who have served, we give thanks from a grateful nation.

LEST WE FORGET🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 The Long Tan battle recount by the ones that led and fought this out, was one the most emotive things I have ever watched listened to. The leadership and bravery of Harry and his officers, Morrie directing the artillery, the NCO’s and resolve of the soldiers in the face of what must have seemed insurmountable odds was extraordinary to state the least. As an ex-Army soldier I was overcome with emotion when they recounted what happened. This is what they should show and teach at recruits, not Zulu.
Lest we forget 💙
Thank you for your service, God bless you all... Lest We Forget 🇦🇺🇦🇺♡

VICTORY IN THE PACIFIC ANNIVERSARY
This weekend marked 81 years since Victory in the Pacific, the moment which ended World War II — humanity’s darkest chapter.
Over 8 decades on, we remember both the cost of war and the power of reconciliation. We honour those who fought to end the darkness, and those who sparked the light that followed.
To every service man and woman, both past and present, thank you for you#lestweforgetLestWeForget

I was five then, living in Ouyen in the Victorian Mallee. We kids spent the previous afternoon in school making red, white and blue windmills, then had the next day off - and we all marched down the main street where the shopkeepers tossed us oranges, lollies, threepences and sixpences to celebrate. .The War was over !.
We will remember them - Lest we forget
Lest we forget 🇦🇺
Lest we forget , what a fight , what a loss of life - for our benefit ❤️🇦🇺

Net zero has today officially FAILED.
Aussie industry simply cannot survive under net zero, as our largest aluminium smelter is now set for a $2.5bn taxpayer funded bailout to keep the lights on.
Only the Liberal and National parties have a plan to unleash our industry by scrapping net zero, getting rid of all Labor's carbon taxes and creating wealth and prosperity for Australians.
Our full plan is at: nationalsplan.org.au/our-plan/energy/
does the taxpayer get a cut of the profit
Hey Pat Conaghan MP would be great if you could do something to clean up the berry industry here in Coffs it’s getting a bit out of control with the toxic chemicals destroying our waterways and the slaves working the farms.
Do you also have a plan to clean up the toxic residues from the berry industry found in your electorate under your watch
Imports don't creat jobs Net Zero Albo and Bowen can sit on the docks to count the ships through the heads as Australia is used as a expensive dumping ground for substandard foods, building materials and consumer goods
Whilst they make Billions a year? sorry
I’m on aged pension (only gone up $42pw past two years). I can’t afford my heating - can you bail me out ??
If my business can't survive due to the cost of government, will they come bail me out ?
Tomago’s majority owner, Rio banked US$10 billion net profit. $6.5 billion in dividends. Plus Australian taxpayers $2.5 billion underwriting their power contract. They are winning🥇 Now here’s a bargain for Labor — there’s a business up the road called HVO Coal mine that wants a hand from the Government too, and it won’t cost the taxpayer a brass razoo. No package, no bailout, no bloke in a hard hat at a press conference. Just a decision. 1,500 jobs, $5.69 billion net benefit to NSW, and royalties into Treasury instead of an invoice out of it. Cheapest call Albo and Minns could do all years.
Labor caused this problem so now we all Pay for it
You have deadset got your head in the sand Pat Conaghan MP . I have been a National Party person for a long long time. But you are so far in the dark it is unbelievable.
Liberals nationals idea . Let's sack the whole lot if the 100 % workers..typical libs & nationals.. so we can't re turn Australia manurfacting here as we all keep saying we what . Get it into sensible Herr over 10 yrs . Libs don't like this idea . They never change even themselves in decades . Duds .
Driving businesses to the ground, cannot understand why Mr Bowen doesn’t see this ?

The questions were a bit strange (as a rural beef farmer) to me but I do have a concern about people needing assistance.
