Peter Dutton hasn’t visited Cairns in 88 days — including not once during the election — because he will have to explain what he will cut to pay for nuclear.
Good win by the @TheMatildas last night, big win for local grassroots football in Leichhardt ⚽️🥅 still got it?
Both major parties have pledged millions of dollars to local projects in the lead up to the federal election. Labor has thrown its support behind community sports, while the LNP wants to upgrade a trail. 7NEWS.com.au @cara_welburn #7NEWS
The @TheMatildas play tonight but the next generation of players like Mary Fowler need a place to play.
That’s why a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will invest $4.1 million into major upgrades at Endeavour Park in FNQ.
Disgraceful. The Prime Minister is exactly where he should be today, with the people of North Queensland.
Shameful attack from NSW Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes on PM @albomp for being on the ground in Nth Qld flood zone today. Real leaders turn up when disasters hit.
I’ll be speaking to ABC Far North at 7:35am Qld time about the Nth Qld Floods.
The Federal Government has activated Disaster Recovery Allowance to provide income support for communities directly affected by the floods.
Go to @ServicesGovAU website to check eligibility.
Nth Qld, right now the most important thing to do is stay out of flood waters and evacuate if necessary.
When the time is right, emergency assistance is available.

In a flood zone? Listen to authorities and prepare to leave when asked. Stay safe Nth Qld.
Major flooding continues across multiple catchments in parts of north-east #Qld, with heavy to locally intense rainfall that may cause flash flooding overnight tonight in some areas.

It was my pleasure to meet with President Whipps of Palau on the first day of his visit to Australia.
As Special Envoy for the Grear Barrier Reef, it’s a privilege to get the opportunity to cooperate with ‘Big Ocean’ states Palau on our shared interests. 🐠
✈️🇦🇺🇵🇼A great start to 2025 welcoming Palau President Whipps Jr to Qld with Senator & Special Envoy @nitagreenqld to promote the Palau Paradise Express. Direct flights between Brisbane & Koror enhance our trade & tourism links, and make for a more connected & prosperous region.
The LNP had ten years to fix the Bruce, Labor will actually deliver.
The Albanese Government's multi-billion dollar commitment to upgrade the Bruce Highway has sparked discussions across the region. Candidate for Leichhardt, Matt Smith says he's fighting to ensure the Far North gets its fair share. 7NEWS.com.au @sophiefenna_ #7NEWS
Senator Nita Green retweeted
Peter Dutton’s Shadow Infrastructure Minister thinks Labor’s regional commitments like fixing the Bruce Hwy are a “splurge” and not “in the national interest”. Only .@AlboMP and .@AustralianLabor will fix the Bruce.
Senator Nita Green retweeted
In today’s @FinancialReview the Liberals are still refusing to match Labor’s commitment to fix the Bruce Highway.
With 21 out of Qld’s 30 Federal seats, Peter Dutton arrogantly thinks he can take Qlders for granted.
A win for so many brave students. 👏

Breaking: The Coalition just voted against helping low and middle income Queenslanders into their first home.
Senator Nita Green retweeted
The Libs and the Greens have teamed up to make it easier to send Australian rubbish to the shores of Thailand and Bali.
Never in the national interest - always in their own.

A million more Queenslanders are being bulked billed because of the Albanese Labor Government.👇
New data released by the federal government has revealed more than 75% of all GP visits across Queensland this month have been covered by Medicare. With 2.2 million additional bulk billed visits in regional Australia. 7NEWS.com.au @sophiefenna_ #7NEWS
These brave women have been fighting for almost a decade to establish a National Student Ombudsman to keep students safe on campus.
Today the Albanese Government introduced legislation to do just that.
