The PM and his Government say a vote for the independents is a vote for chaos. More chaotic than the Parliament under his leadership? Hereā€™s my thoughts:
šŸ§µ 1/6

#auspol #warringahvotes
1. There can be significant benefits to power-sharing arrangements. Communities get more say on what the government might do, and generally speaking the crossbench is more interested in transparency and accountability than the government ever is. šŸ§µ 2/6

#auspol
2. Independents work for their local communities in a way major party MPs often do not. Independents donā€™t join ministerial ranks, which means they donā€™t use their backbench role as a self-interested springboard to higher office the way major party MPs often do. šŸ§µ 3/6

ANOTHER opportunity for #IndependentsDay candidates to put serious donation disclosure reform on the #ausvotes agenda.

Indies completely justified in operating under current law, otherwise they give Govt MPs an unfair & crippling advantage.

Will the Govt pledge reform too?
2. Maybe an #IndependentsDay candidate or two might ask the sitting MP to agree that both fully disclose donations in real time from the hand shake. Wouldnā€™t that be interesting :)
3. WILD: @JasonFalinskiMP says Labor must put all #IndependentsDay candidates LAST because @zalisteggall amended her donation return.

Jason, whatā€™s your #ausvotes #HonestPolitics plan? Debate it with @SophieScamps in #MackellarVotes?

Do you back Zaliā€™sā€™ PolAdsTruth bill?

Goulburn Showgrounds, the Veolia Arena, cold, windy, rain spits, the @of_hume community #IndependentsDay candidate at the entrance shaking hands. Crowd growing.

731. Extraordinary stuff from Frydenberg, triumphalist Back in Black back boaster before last #ausvotes. SURELY with a record breaking deficit and covid widening income inequality the sane thing to do is delay or abolish the stage 3 tax cuts. Nope - letā€™s cut tax more!
732. B McKenzie demands the Clean Energy Finance Corporation finance carbon capture & storage research (a fantasy) to sustain coal mining. The mining industry hasnā€™t done it because it canā€™t be done. This is AWFUL, & she confirms thereā€™s STILL no bloody plan!
#IndependentsDay!
733. The fix is in. If carbon capture and storage was viable big fossil fuel companies would have found a way by now. Yet to pretend to act on climate change the Govt INCREASES taxpayer already massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

8. Searingly honest and revelatory account of the a good journalistā€™s internal voices on a story like this, and the external constraints on publication. I RELATED BIG TIME.

Superb, Tory. I would have made the same decision as you for the same reason, until sheā€™ ready let it be.
9. Succinct summary of investigation state of play by @osbornep

10. Backgrounder thread by @CroweDM on the NSW Police statement closing its investigation.

1. Good one, Malcolm - how about indies, Labor, Greens propose NEG law, dare emasculated moderate Libs in safe seats to cross floor or face massive #independentsday campaigns to replace them.

@zalisteggall @helenhainesindi @MakeMayoMatter @WilkieMP

2. I suggested a cross political project to agree on basics, begin presenting pu up agreed climate change to Parliament.

3. @zalisteggall, who #WarringahVotes sent to Parliament replace climate change denier and policy destroyer Abbott, is taking the lead.

Huh? I deliberately did NOT Retweet the @AngusTaylorMP allegation thread because the allegations were unsourced. Whatā€™s going on, Angus?
2. Hereā€™s the full letter from @AngusTaylorMP lawyers sent to @NoFibs which falsely claimed I tweeted a thread on allegations against him.
3. Wondering if a lawyer Tweep would agree to act for me pro bono to sort out this mess? I believe I did not Tweet or RT the thread in question.

1. Groundhog Day on One Nation preferencing. In 1998, Howard-Abbott urged preferencing One Nation; Costello and Kennett strongly disagreed, saying put ON last, as Labor did.

Then came #qldvotes - Hanson won 11 seats outside Brisbane, and Lib voters fled in Bringing Shane.
2. So Howard put One Nation last at 1998 #ausvotes. ON didnā€™t win a seat, and in Blair, where Hanson stood, the Lib won with Labor preferences.

Fast forward - sheā€™s back, and the WA Libs preferenced her above Labor. The Feds were fine with it - Hanson had matured, they said.
3. Disaster struck again; the Liberal leader Colin Barnett says the decision cost the Libs several seats after it became a massive election issue.
