‘Voices for’ community #IndependentsDay candidate launch thread-

Goodbye #HumeVotes hello #HughesVotes, where the local ‘Voices for’ group @HumansOfHughes will announce its community #IndependentsDay candidate.

Launch by sausage sizzle - love it!

2. The @HumansOfHughes community #IndependentsDay launch is at the Bonnet Bay football club on the Waronora River. And who do I see? @lindadoherty21 & I were on the @smh 2001 #ausvotes team; she now freelances for @CroakeyNews, run by former @smh health reporter @MelissaSweetDr

3. They’re lining up for the announcement of the @HumansofHughes community #IndependentsDay candidate plus sausage sizzle.

4. @AnnelieseXander, a @HumansOfHughes candidate nominee, volunteer @eleanor_ruby & committee-member Leigh Furner about to name their community candidate for #HughesVotes.

Leigh: “Both parties are captive to the fossil fuel industry & we need a #federalicac- enough is enough.”

5. @AnnelieseXander fronts the @HumansOfHughes board to tell the story of meeting @RenewHughes first time for coffee and chat about what to do about Craig Kelly. They decided to listen and be positive about finding good, honest representation.

6. The ‘Voices for’ @humansofhughes community #IndependentsDay candidate is @HughesRenews - video endorsements by @drkerrynphelps and @julia_zemiro.

8. @HughesRenews: We get to Canberra by you being you.
When we get there we must pass the @helenhainesindi Federal Integrity Commission bill -
they are acting with impunity, look at Craig Kelly’s behaviour. And we will back the @zalisteggall climate bill.

#HughesVotes

9. Ex-president of @voicesforindi, @dginnivan, has mentored @HumansOfHughes.

‘We can show our communities what it means to be a citizen. What can you bring to @HumansOfHughes’ election campaign? Grab the chance to help our democracy.”

10. @lindadoherty21 captured the moment the @HumansOfHughes community #IndependentsDay candidate was announced by the unfurling of her campaign T-Shirt. The colour of the #HughesVotes campaign? Purple.

11. BIG LOCAL @hughesrenews ENDORSEMENT: Helma Mulhall successfully led the Jannali protests against a NSW Govt plan to demolish 9 homes for a car park when an alternative was available. “I’m behind you,” she says to big applause.

12. Lorraine Oliver: “ I’m here to support my sister @HughesRenews. She never intended to become political but thought it’s not right what Craig Kelly was doing. So she formed @HumansOfHughes, listened, found she connected with people and here we are!”
