Russell Crowe, has recently shared his positive views on the growing influence of independents. He sees the rise of independents as a powerful force for good, ensuring that the people's voice, not the party line is being heard in Parliament. That is our plan for Dickson.
An excellent article highlighting how Dickson MP Dutton is busy campaigning in WA, leaving his constituents feeling ignored. Our community deserves an MP who prioritises local issues. It's time for a change.

This is an important issue that was raised by locals. We need politics to be better. Deliberately shutting down MPs time should not be used just because you can. A thread.
Thank You to 15 Zoom Attendees tonight!
Your enthusiasm and willingness to participate was fantastic. Many comments about finding their tribe and an interest in alternatives to two-party politics had us all nodding.

This is excellent news. Independent candidates are changing the political landscape for the better. Tasmania is lucky to have such a fine example of leadership.
I will re-contest the seat of Clark as an Independent at the next federal election. With trust in major parties at an all-time low, it’s more important than ever that we have independents who work hard for their communities & strive to hold the Govt to account.

We’ve seen the data too. Is this a distraction because they don’t want to talk about other issues? Like if State LNP is going to pander to Federal LNP on nuclear? Using children or any issue for political point scoring is why party politics is on the nose.

We support no preferences. Prefs should be up to voters, they direct rankings. If you choose to vote for us, the prefs you assign will flow as if we were not in the contest. Our participation does not help either party. If you don’t want Dutton, vote him last, it’s your choice.

Today was the first possible date a standard federal election could have been held, which means the election window is open.
So, when is the next federal election?

How many times did the LNP also vote with the Greens? This is trying to dress up facts. Zali Steggall has votes evenly with the Greens, Government and LNP.
