The PM and his Government say a vote for the independents is a vote for chaos. More chaotic than the Parliament under his leadership? Hereās my thoughts:

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. š§µ 2/6

2. Independents work for their local communities in a way major party MPs often do not. Independents donāt join ministerial ranks, which means they donāt use their backbench role as a self-interested springboard to higher office the way major party MPs often do. š§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. Wouldnāt that be interesting :)
3. WILD: @JasonFalinskiMP says Labor must put all #IndependentsDay candidates LAST because @zalisteggall amended her donation return.
Jason, whatās your #ausvotes #HonestPolitics plan? Debate it with @SophieScamps in #MackellarVotes?
Do you back Zaliāsā 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 - letās 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 hasnāt done it because it canāt be done. This is AWFUL, & she confirms thereās 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 journalistās 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.

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.

Huh? I deliberately did NOT Retweet the @AngusTaylorMP allegation thread because the allegations were unsourced. Whatās going on, Angus?
2. Hereās 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 didnāt win a seat, and in Blair, where Hanson stood, the Lib won with Labor preferences.
Fast forward - sheās 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.
