We’ve sold off so many key assets—energy, property, hospitals, infrastructure—that foreign capital now holds us hostage.

David Marler<p>Could there be a resurgence in Goldstein? Tim Wilson is definitely worried giving instructions to his scrutineers but the ABC election computer still says it's a Lib gain on a 292 vote lead. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>

David Marler<p>Ultra-close in Bradfield. A few days ago it looked like a Liberal Party retain but the gap has narrowed to 70 votes. Could change at any time. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ausvotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ausvotes</span></a></p>
