For about the same cost as dishonouring a submarine deal, you could pay 2 and a half million workers an extra dollar an hour, for a full year. And they would spend it. That would stuff the economy though.

OK. I've done my fair share of putting down the Member for Cook, but credit where it's due - I hear he's making an appearance at my son's school tomorrow. Good to see him engaging with the community. And credit to my son too - he said "Do I have to go?"

I bought you a beer. When I twut my first tweet a month ago today, I could not have imagined the support you've all given. We can look each other in the eye and say we have it heaps. See you in the by-election.

My question is for the Prime Minister: Should the Coalition lose the election, yet you retain the seat of Cook, will you stay and represent the people who elected you?

Laura's dad ran for The Libs in the seat of Banks once. She's met John Howard plenty of times. Laura has always voted Liberal. "Not this time", she said. She also said her dad won't be real happy. The world needs more Lauras.

On the subject of campaigning - I shouldn't be too hard on the P.M. He's campaigned quite effectively for Labor over the last few years. You know - the fires, vaccine, rorts, floods, accountability...
Go to work for a bit, have a quick look at the news, and we've gone from 3 sneaky ministerial appointments to 5. And all that time we thought he was doing nothing. We clearly underestimated him.

Thanks again to the hundreds who rocked up last night and apologies to those on the wait-list who couldn't get in. Donations exceeded our wildest dreams. It is an honour to be fighting Scott Morrison for all of you good people.

OK Mr
@ScottMorrisonMP
You've spoken 3 times at "work" in a year:
Once in a vain and feeble attempt to defend your name.
Once in the name of the queen.
Once in the name of fear and division.
Not once for us.
With all due respect, which is minimal, either have a go, or simply go.
With all due respect (which right now is minimal), why is our local member here? How does that help our local community? The people of Cook gave you a go,
@ScottMorrisonMP
, so you should have a go. For us.
@AustralianLabor
#cookvotes
OK
@ScottMorrisonMP
. I'll see your bullet-proof vest, and raise you a sun-proof polo. And a hat.
What's more, I'm right here, in Cook.
And I took my own selfie.
Bit concerned about Perrottet. The child care thing, the extra year of school thing, the Aboriginal flag for the bridge. He's praised Albo and even called MUA members "incredibly impressive". I think he wants to join the winning team.

A lot of people reacted to my last tweet saying they didn't want to see "him" any more. Noted. And agreed. So, with respect to your wishes, and so he is no longer the face of my last tweet, here's me at a local hardware store.

What does one need to do to legitimately achieve the adjective "Disgraced" before their name? You know, like "Disgraced former detective..." or "Disgraced former Hillsong Pastor?"
Asking for a Local MP.
The Liberal voters and volunteers keep reminding me that these have been 'unprecedented' times, it has been very tough for Mr Morrison and he deserves another go. They don't appreciate the jokes about holding a hose.
You win some, you lose some. I may been defeated in the epic battle for the seat of Cook, but my victory over Wordle today has been a real boost to my confidence.

Today is my birthday. I'm up the mid-north coast. Had an early surf with my son. Wife cooked me brekky. Cicadas are providing the soundtrack. And I get to spend the day with sunshine, my family, leftover food and leftover beer. Doesn't get any better. Thankful

I know the value of a good education - from childcare, to school, TAFE and university. Check Labor's policies to improve access and real educational outcomes.
Then check out my uni graduation photo.
This crew just keeps on giving. We're matching the Libs every day for numbers. And we're outstripping them in policy, passion, positivity and pride. There's a change in the wind. We can feel it, and they know it.

Barb Badham is 80 years old and has spent most of her life in what is now the seat of Cook. She is a retired public servant and spent decades as a committed community volunteer in many roles. She is one of Labor’s true believers.
@EmuBalls
Still pumped about the election result and the positive change it'll bring to all. Had my first surf under Labor in 9 years (I remember my first surf after the Libs got in last time - today was better), did some washing, and got back to work.

If I was from marketing, I'd come up with something like "How good is Australia!"

He stood there, but didn't quite look us in the metaphorical eye. I'm not sure that's ever really been his 'thing'. And then, he literally told us how good he was.

Less than 3 months after getting turfed out for being "superior economic managers", subjecting ordinary Australians to extreme cost of living pressures, and leaving Labor to fix the mess, he has a go Jim Chalmers? It's all darvo this arvo from Angus Taylor.
The No camp knows the Voice will be an advisory body. It will make representations to parliament. That's it.
But they don't want you to know that they know. And they sure aren't going to tell you.
Say No to Deception. Yes to Dignity.
Say No to Fear. Yes to Fair.

Love hearing the opposition referred to as "the opposition." And love hearing them whinge about Albo fixing something they broke. I'm sure they'll have plenty more chances to do just that.

A few people are asking me the Cook question. And offering support - it's appreciated.
The party will decide whether Labor contest it. Whatever the decision, it'll be the right one for the right reasons. And whatever the call, I am here, committed to standing up for my community
Really appreciate the support of everyone, and you giving me the nod to swear. Looks like some of my most trusted political advisors (that's you lot) saved me the trouble - and I thank you.
I have decided to refrain. To keep a clean skin. To keep my proverbial powder dry. 1/3
Some bloke called me a communist and another one told me I had no right handing out my "Lefty bullsh!t".
But I'll take it on the chin.

I posted a picture of myself masked up on the train this morning but got accused of virtue signalling, belittling people and being a pollie. So, that clearly doesn't work.
Just watched a show on the telly where some blokes told themselves how clever they were for shafting each other instead of doing their jobs.
Not sure if it was funny or depressing.

A few pearls of wisdom from the panel tonight.
Don't be polite - tell people you're voting Yes, and why.
When you vote Yes, you're voting with us, not for us.
Look at the people who are trying to divide us - they're not the ones who wrote the Uluru Statement.
#Yes
I've kind of reached a stage of apathy. I've lost interest in what my alleged local member, disgraced former PM
@ScottMorrisonMP
does or doesn't do anymore, let alone have a crack at him for it.
But I'd like to thank you all for the exceptional job you're doing.
