#thenationals who don’t support farmers and don’t support indigenous people, all regional people. They only support large foreign owned mining companies. #auspol #insiders

I want everything on hold so we have a great excuse to bring in #nuclear. #thenationals

#thenationals and their mining/farmer mates have been destroying natural habitats since day dot. It almost like he sneers when he says ‘natural habitats’.
#insiders #auspol

1. Fastsommernacht in #BadOeynhausen, auf der Terrasse sitzen, das neue #theNationals Album auf den Ohren und #IvanErtlov s Sonnenflut & Sternenfeuer bei einem #GinTonic lesen.

Sooooo:

#nsw do you feel like you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t with the state election?

#coalition is corrupt as sh?t, #labor is as corrupt as sh&t.
Neither will really do anything about #gambling but at least the #coalition says it will as apposed to #labor who won’t.

Also country people you have been treated like chumps by #thenationals and #liberals since forever. #nswpol #nswvotes

What's with NSW politics.

So #thenationals and #nff have no problem poisoning us and our kids. The farmers in Australia don’t deserve our respect or our support.

Nationals MP Andrew Gee quits party following decision on voice

Nationals MP Andrew Gee has announced his resignation from the party and will sit in federal parliament as an independent.

Gee, who represents the NSW seat of Calare, said he was leaving the junior Coalition party following its decision to oppose the Indigenous voice to parliament.

He said in a statement:

I can’t reconcile the fact that every Australian will get a free vote on the vitally important issue of the voice, yet National party MPs are expected to fall into line behind a party position that I fundamentally disagree with, and vote accordingly in parliament.

While I respect the views of my colleagues, this just isn’t right. I didn’t bring on the debate within the Nationals over the voice or the press conference that followed.

Gee said recent flooding in NSW which brought devastation to rural areas had also “brought home” the importance of speaking up.

Now, more than ever, the communities of our region need their MP in their corner advocating for that support, no matter the political stripe of the state or federal government.

While I accept that in politics compromises have to be made, there comes a point where not speaking out freely can compromise the interests of those we represent.

It’s quite astounding how divided ‘The Nationals’ are on several major national and international issues.
Now add the Indigenous Voice, shows the lack of ‘footwork’ by Fed’ leader, Littlepool MP: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/nov/29/nationals-fracture-over-federal-opposition-to-indigenous-voice

Littleproud says a #Voice won't close the gap on Indigenous #disadvantage.

Well, neither will inaction on climate change or locking up Indigenous children. Perhaps #TheNationals could focus campaigning on an actual measure to help #CloseTheGap, rather than (grand)standing against the #IndigenousVoiceToParliament?

#auspol

The Nationals party have already decided where they stand on The Voice To Parliament even before all the details have been revealed.

#voicetoparliament #thenationals #mining #auspol #ularustatementfromtheheart

Let’s be honest here, what #TheNationals party actually meant is that they really do not want to close the gap and that they have incredibly poor imagination for a better excuse.
