A thread about the beginning of how I situate my small part in the @Mon4Kooyong vs JoshFry story. Reader, it ends well...šŸ’ŽšŸŒŠ (Please indulge me this šŸ§µas a born and bred Kooyong person, even though I'm not there now.)ā¤ļø #KooyongRising #KooyongVotes #Mon4Kooyong šŸ§µcont...
I sent Mr Frydenberg an email 11/10/21šŸ§µ"Mr Frydenberg, You have just made comments about NSW ā€˜showing others the way to live with the virusā€™. For you to stand & say that it would be good to see Vict experiencing the same freedoms as NSW, at the same time, is an insult." cont...
Cont: "Your government failed to secure sufficient vaccines early enough. (Please refute this if you can.) There would not be such lengthy lockdowns & so many Covid deaths if your govt had done its job (feel free to refute this if there is any way you can.)"

āš ļø Do you know anyone who tested positive for COVID between Saturday and Tuesday 6pm? šŸ¦ 

Unless they have already voted or applied for a postal vote before now, they wonā€™t be able to vote at all.

This is a major problem. šŸ§µ

#ausvotes #KooyongVotes
Hereā€™s the story. If you tested positive for COVID you have to isolate for 7 days. Which means not voting in person.

So the @AusElectoralCom has helpfully set up phone voting for this election, so if you test positive today youā€™ll still be able to vote.

So far, so goodā€¦
BUT the @AusElectoralCom only offers phone voting to people who tested positive after Tuesday 6pm.

Anyone who tested positive between Saturday and Tuesday 6pm and hasn't applied for a postal voteā€¦ canā€™t vote.

We woke up this morning and our beautiful mural (left) had been painted over (right).

Imagine being the painter sent to whitewash over ā€œActive Hopeā€!

#ActiveHope #Mon4Kooyong #KooyongVotes #ausvotes
The mural comprised 4 panels, one designed by long-term Kew resident W.H. Chong, the remainder by renowned Melbourne designer Georgia Perry. The mural was painted by Wall Lords, a local arts group.

Left: statements from W.H. Chong and Wall Lords
Right: Jess from Wall Lords
Our political opponents are accusing us of vandalism(!), but the story is much more complex than that.

Something happened between Tuesday and Friday, and weā€™re hoping to get to the bottom of it ASAP.

We have been subjected to so many dirty tricks!

JF: "I am facing .. somebody who is no more than a slogan, or a board or a banner."

ā€¢ derogatory, dismissive, disrespectful
ā€¢ Dr Monique Ryan ran the neurology department at the Royal Childrenā€™s Hospital until recently.

PK: "Why undermine her and use this kind of language?"

JF: "just because you may have had a professional occupation doesn't mean you will bring to the table detailed policies that will enhance the parliament or the local seat"

ā€¢ Non answer

Iā€™m sitting in Matilda Mont Albert just now and overhead two guys discussing the election.

šŸ§µ

One guy says to the other ā€œā€¦so thereā€™s an independent running against Josh. Sheā€™s a paediatric neurologist, Dr Monique Ryan.
Her campaign has a door knocking team, but get this ā€” SHE actually knocked on my door. She came with her son and we had a 20 minute conversation talking about issues that are important to my family. Sheā€™s really smart and actually has a climate policy.
Sheā€™s given me 20 minutes of her time, so after that I donated 10 bucks to her campaign and put up a sign in my front yard. Josh is visiting the girlsā€™ school later this week and my daughter says to me, dad, can I tell him weā€™re not voting for him?ā€

This is what happens when @CUhlmann smears @Mon4Kooyong in a Tweet without context. Terrible loss for @9NewsAUS and voters. A debate in Kooyong with undecided constituents on Nine would have been free to air. But will Josh be game to agree?

#KooyongVotes
2. What the hell is wrong with @abcnews and @9NewsAUS??? Surely a local town hall with undecided local voters is not beyond them? Free to air much better for all voters. 3 times now Murdochā€™s Sky - Zali-Abbott 2019, Allegra-Sharma, now maybe Monique-Josh is bloody ridiculous.
3. I thought when @David_Speers joined @abcnews it was in box seat to host a free to air town-hall #leadersdebate pioneered by Sky. To have the first #leadersdebate on a Murdoch cable channel live-streamed by Murdoch media a disgrace.

Will there be a free-to-air #leadersdebate?

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?

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.
