    When I said before the election that I would fight for every vote, the last month was not quite what I had in mind! Thank you for the support from inside and outside Goldstein, and to my incredible volunteers who have been scrutineering day in, day out. 🧵

    To all LGBTQIA+ people in Australia, The Trump administration has begun rolling back protections for gender diverse and LGBTQIA+ people in the United States. This is unequivocally unacceptable. Please know that as long as I am in our nation’s parliament I will fight for you

    I will move for a judicial inquiry into media diversity because disinformation & lack of trust are the key challenges of our time.Outsized media power & lack of regional and suburban media disempower communities.I ask the parliament to support this motion, for democracy. #auspoI

    I am pleased to have clarity from the Supreme Court just now, confirming that our campaign signs are legal. For those of our supporters who have signs up, thank you. For those who have been waiting for the judgement, you are free to put your signs up. Onward.

    Should lying in political ads to get elected on false pretenses be legal? The answer seems obvious. Truth in political advertising must be legislated. And let’s open the can of worms on truth in media while we’re at it. These things go fundamentally to public trust. #auspol

    I tweeted this yesterday and have been avalanched by trolls. So have deleted to stop that thread and am reposting. I support vaccination and I had my 4th dose yesterday. Trolls, you won’t change my position with bullying and abuse, so go elsewhere. 🙏💉

    In a new low, ‘people’ on social media are spreading the lie that it’s only necessary to mark me number 1 for the vote to be valid. This is orchestrated DISINFORMATION designed to cause informal voting. Tell your young people, tell everyone. NUMBER EVERY BOX. #GoldsteinVotes

    Dear media. Who has leaked messages from police evidence and why?You’re not asking the right questions. Consider how your reporting affects victims of sexual offences who might otherwise come forward.I am so disappointed that my former profession is so easily manipulated. #auspol

    In which genuine refugees spend years in detention and then, a government under pressure FINALLY agrees to a deal that has been on the table for years, surprise, just before an election. So, detained for political reasons and released for political reasons. Pawns much? Vile.

    Wearing sunscreen protects you. Wearing masks protects others. Do we still not understand this simple act of selflessness almost 2 years into a pandemic? #COVID19 #auspol #GoldsteinVotes
