Our new Liberal member is still pushing nuclear (and gas) despite it costing hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars, delivering higher energy bills and being completely inappropriate for our region. 🤯 www.afr.com/work-and-car...

Japan makes more money from our offshore gas than we do 🤯🫠 We’re yet to get a cent of Petroleum Resource Rent Tax from offshore LNG exports 😤 Why are the major parties happy to give our gas away for free?! www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8970951/

🌻Good morning. A big thank you to every single volunteer and supporter of this campaign. We did absolutely everything and ived our values of positivity, integrity, respect, inclusion, sustainability and fun. We saw more election promises out of both sides of politics. Thank you all 🙏

Who is Deb? We asked her friends and family about her...

Lest we Forget. ANZAC Day is very important to my family, my grandfather was awarded the military cross for bravery in WWII in the 2/11 Field regiment. He marched every year on ANZAC day, it was the most important day of the year for him. Today, I honour his memory & all who fought for our freedom.

Wonderful service in Warragul today, and so well attended. My family and I are proud to have expressed our respect for the sacrifices of the ANZACS. Lest we forget

Early Voting has started! 🗳️Head down to your nearest polling station. I'll be visiting them all during the next two weeks. To vote for me, put a 1 next to Deb Leonard and make sure you number all the remaining boxes in order of YOUR CHOICE! Happy voting!

Our local balanced media just getting the truth out there- thank you @phillipisland_advertiser for your impeccable balanced and honest journalism, helping to dispel the mis truths 👍

Finally, after over 20 years of ignoring our electorate, the Liberal Party have today announced 10 million dollars for the Phillip Island pool! Now I absolutely welcome this funding announcement - but we actually need $100m not $10m. Authorised by Deb Leonard, 40B&C Bair St Leongatha 3953

Warragul and Drouin going to be seeing this trailer do the rounds over the next few weeks. All for @debleonard4monash.bsky.social 💪🏾 #moreformonash

In the news this week 🗞️

Warragul campaign launch for @debleonard4monash.bsky.social. 140+ turnout to meet and hear from Deb. The seat of Monash is not being taken for granted. #moreformonash #debleonard

Just released my Health & Aged policy ❤️‍🩹 As an independent, I'll fight to ensure Monash gets its fair share of funding for facilities and services to look after the people in our community. www.debleonard4monash.com.au/health-aged-... Authorised by Deb Leonard, Leongatha

We had 50 x volunteer door knockers out in WARRAGUL, INVERLOCH, MOE, LEONGATHA and COWES this weekend!! They were asking the people of Monash what was important to them. This feedback gets passed back to Deb so she can best represent the community here- not a party. Volunteers are the best 💕

📣 Policy Announcement: Climate & Environment! 🌱 Yesterday I announced my Climate & Environment policy. We need practical action that protects our environment while creating local opportunities for our communities For full policy details please visit: www.debleonard4monash.com.au/policies

We had stacks of great conversations at the Warragul Agricultural Show. Going through all the surveys, it’s clear that locals are fed up with the state of the roads, are more than ready for the ‘promised’ hospital and are struggling with the state of the NDIS. #more4monash #auspol

“And it's not all about getting your candidate elected.” This particularly applies to the Voices Of movement in #Gippsland, where we’re hopefully laying the foundation for a very different future. @peterdgardner.bsky.social @tonypeck.bsky.social @debleonard4monash.bsky.social

So proud to lead the change in Monash.

Meet me this week in LEONGATHA, DROUIN & COWES! I'm looking forward to it :)

Independent @debleonard4monash.bsky.social is running as an independent in Monash #auspol #ausvotes2025 #https://open.spotify.com/episode/1BR7LiB6JPk4osrZRiQTMZ?si=kPwFAZzMQK-490JMXAST3w

📞 Our calling team is the heart of this grassroots campaign ❤️ With the election fast approaching, we need more volunteer on our team to spread Deb's message of genuine representation. RSVP below to join the party. Be the one to make the difference: www.debleonard4monash.com.au/community_ca...

If you want to fix a house, start with the foundation. If you want to fix politics, start with integrity. Integrity is the foundation that will make for good governance and effective policy. 🙌 Check out my integrity policy here: debleonard4monash.com.au/integrity-_-transparency-in-politics

The decision to cut Fisheries Officers and close all fisheries stations in Western Port and Port Phillip Bay is devastating for our marine environment, our businesses and community 😢🎣 Please sign & share this petition to show your support to overturn this decision: www.change.org/p/stop-the-t...

In the news this week 🗞 Phillip Island & San Remo Advertiser www.pisra.com.au/news/leonard... Warragul Drouin Gazette www.thegazette.com.au/leonard-want...

Let's do this Monash.

If this hits 20,000 it’s Game Over for the Liberals in Monash. At the rate @debleonard4monash.bsky.social is gaining volunteers, it’ll happen. (Nearly 1,000 doors knocked last Sunday!) If you know someone in any of the places on this map, text them to tell them about Independent Deb Leonard.

Super Sunday day of action in Drouin was AMAZING! 🤩 Over 100 people attended 👉 738 doors knocked by volunteers in Drouin 📣 Two policy announcements were made: Integrity in Politics and funding for West Gippsland Hospital Thanks to Brent Hodgson for speaking at the event! Lets do this Monash :)

Meet me this week in Leongatha & Foster!

Paid a visit to Monash & @debleonard4monash.bsky.social campaign over the weekend. Absolutely fantastic group. Will post more soon – but the data shows they need just 8,000 votes to win there – and would have knocked close to 1,000 doors in Drouin on Sunday. Things are getting REAL there!

It's an easy choice really. I'm here to represent YOU, not party interests. #debleonard4monash #MoreforMonash #auspol2025 #auspol #bawbawshire #basscoast #monash #latrobevalley #southgippsland #monashvotes

Join us for Super Sunday: Day of Action in Drouin. www.debleonard4monash.com.au/super_sunday... We’d love to see lots of supporters there!

Meet me this week in Fish Creek and Moe - come on down to listen to the 'Get On Board' Choir this Saturday!

30 of Australia's 150 electorates have Community Independent MP or candidate running in the 2025 election. Other independents like Stella Yee for Menzies, Dr Ziad Basyouny for Watson & Ahmed Ouf in Blaxland are running hard. #Auspol www.communityindependentsproject.org/ci-mps-candi...

The media’s headlines on donations to independents are misleading—the real story is in the numbers. The graph makes it clear: the major parties still receive the vast majority of political donations. Yet the government is pushing electoral reforms that serve as a payday for political parties

A great turnout for Social Night at New Mason Warragul. And look at all the smiles. We are winning hearts and minds. #more4monash #votedebleonard

Social media makes politics more accessible but also spreads misinformation—especially during elections. Democracy needs truth. That’s why I introduced my Stop the Lies bill to ban false political ads. Yet in 2025, we still have no safeguards. Next week, I’ll call on the government to act.

MORE FOR MOE was the topic of the night at our Politics in the Pub in Moe recently, with a focus on bringing manufacturing back to the valley. As an independent, I’m focused on delivering more for our community 🙌 #debleonard4monash #moreformonash #moreformoe #moe #mentalhealth #costofliving

@debleonard4monash.bsky.social , check this out 😊

Well, the power’s back on! (For now at least…) Throwback to this article from the LV Express. It’s the same story again and again 🙄. When are we going to see solutions? (HINT: When you vote independent! 🙌) latrobevalleyexpress.com.au/news/2024/10... #debleonard4monash #moreformonash

Great day surveying the community at the Mirboo North Market with our volunteer choir ‘Get on Board’ performing some catchy tunes! Politics… but make it fun 😉 #more4monash #votedebleonard

I never thought I’d be on a billboard in my life, but this is what communities can achieve when they come together and fight for better representation! 💪 #moreformonash #debleonard4monash #auspol #monashvotes
