Who Gives a Vote tracks what every side is saying — not to endorse any of it, but so you can see it in one place. Below are this week’s media releases from Labor, the Coalition (LNP, Liberal and Nationals), the Greens and One Nation, each summarised in the party’s own framing with a link to the original. These are the parties’ own claims, not verified facts — read them together and make up your own mind.

A note on balance: Labor governs federally and the LNP governs Queensland, while the federal Coalition (Liberals and Nationals) sits in opposition — so government releases lean toward announcements and opposition releases lean toward critique. Seeing all sides together is the point.
