You know the wild thing about this as well? So, the Betoota Advocate, they posted about it.
Sam BamfordHOST
GetUp, they posted about it, and RSL jumped in as well.
Sam BamfordHOST
So, and the toilet paper, Toilet Paper Australia.
Sam BamfordHOST
So they got all their puppet organizations, the Labor government, and y- we can just say that the Liberal and Labor government are the uni party now.
Mark LevyHOST
So that's a significant story and a story that's been broken by David Ross in The Telegraph.
Mark LevyHOST
And what about this? Progressive activist group GetUp will spend at least $600,000 trying to stop one nation seizing a string of Labor-held seats at November's Victorian election.
Mark LevyHOST
The push would see GetUp deploy paid organisers and thousands of volunteers to door knock, phone bank and campaign at train stations and polling booths across the region.
Mark LevyHOST
Right now, GetUp is targeting five seats, all currently held by Labor.
Mark LevyHOST
GetUp's acting chief executive, Paul Ferris, says One Nation represents a unique threat to Australian democracy, including forcing a distinction between the coalition and One Nation that GetUp hasn't drawn before.
Mark LevyHOST
He argues it's the party's record on wages, health care and childcare that drives voters away.
Mark LevyHOST
excuse me, once they actually hear about it.
Mark LevyHOST
He also says, while GetUp previously campaigned hard against conservative Liberal MPs, there's no such campaign against the Coalition this time, only against One Nation.

Like, it failed, right? On its own terms of trying to stop the war, it didn't work.
Amanda TattersallGUEST
In some ways it's been since then that I have been asking this question, both in all the different forms of activism that I have done, which is, like, setting up GetUp, which is setting up the Sydney Alliance, which is now doing the Change Makers podcast, and being a researcher of social change, asking this question: how does it... how do you make a difference?
Charles FirthHOST
I, I, I do note, my love, that, uh, you, you have evaded the question.
Charles FirthHOST
Like, Dom's question specifically-... was how do you change the world?
Amanda TattersallGUEST
But actually even that is, it's a mistake to say that that mean, didn't mean it didn't make a difference, right? Firstly, it created a whole conversation and set of actions amongst people, like the front cover-
Charles FirthHOST
Mm
Amanda TattersallGUEST
... of The Chaser, but also, like GetUp came out of that.
Dom KnightHOST
Yeah, I was gonna say.
Peta CredlinHOST
Listen to this, Lucy, it's interesting.
Peta CredlinHOST
GetUp's out there putting $600,000 into a raft of seats held by Labor to try and sandbag these seats for Labor in the November election.
Lucy ZelicPANELIST
Yeah, it's been really interesting, hasn't it, Peter, to watch all of this unfold.
Lucy ZelicPANELIST
And I think we also need to remind people of the fact that GetUp is still under investigation after the stunt that they performed at Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address.
Lucy ZelicPANELIST
The Australian, the latest reports that we've gotten are that ACT Police are still investigating this.
Lucy ZelicPANELIST
And this is an organisation that has an enormous war chest that is really targeting these One Nation seats because it recognises that it's a threat, but it's a hack attack.
