Your contribution makes all the difference. We’re running a grassroots campaign, relying on support from people like you—not big corporations. Every dollar you give helps us bring real change to Watson. Thank you for standing with us.
Labor or Liberal? Does it even matter? Let`s take a look:
🥴 Both take millions from fossil fuel, big banks, and developers.
😑 Both make housing more expensive.
🙄 Both let billionaires pay less tax than nurses.
If you want real change, you NEED to vote for it.
If you keep voting Labor or Liberal, they win. And you lose. Every time.
🗳️ At the next election vote 1 Dr Ziad Basyouny

During a cost of living crisis, where families are struggling to put food on the table, Dutton is proposing to spend around $450 million dollars on a referendum. Fear for an attempt at political gain at its finest.

Reality check: being in a "safe seat" does nothing good for you.
It just makes the people in power complacent. You get taken for granted. They think they can neglect you. Because they think you`ll vote for them anyway 🙄
When are you going to stand up for what you deserve?
You don`t need to vote for the major parties anymore. Because at the next election you have a genuine alternative.
Vote for someone who understands what the area needs. Someone who understands you.
Vote 1 Dr Ziad Basyouny.

Today serves as a reminder of what happens when unbridled hatred and #Islamophobia is allowed to fester in media and political discourse.
Islamophobia has dramatically increased in Australia over the last two years.
There has been a long list of recorded Islamophobic attacks and threats made to Muslims just going about their everyday lives. And these are typically only the more extreme cases that are actually reported.
And yet, there has been no significant response from our government to protect and stand with the Muslim community of Australia.
Instead, they continue to push hate-driven speech and racist policies.
Enough is enough.
We can`t sit by and allow another Christchurch-style massacre to happen again.
We honour the lives unnecessarily lost, and we send our support and solidarity to their loved ones who continue to carry the burden of grief.

Being in a safe seat means the major parties take their voters for granted.
We`ve been letting this happen to Watson for too long. 20 years too long.
The next election is PIVOTAL. Let`s put our demands on the map. Don`t let them take you granted anymore. You deserve better.
Vote Independent. Vote 1 Dr Ziad Basyouny.
