@DaveSharma handing out flowers on #IWD2021. Intentions may have been good but unfortunately the reaction to his tweet demonstrates that he is simply not in touch with #WentworthWomen and does not understand the seriousness of the issues #auspol

To many, this feels like a trivialising, belittling and tone-deaf response to a watershed moment for women in Australia. For #Wentworth voters it is a national embarrassment. #EnoughIsEnough
There’s no point having a “nice guy” representing #Wentworth. We need a representative who listens, understands and then acts. The issues currently facing Australia are serious. Women’s rights to be treated fairly, with equity, with respect, to be safe in their own homes #Justice
#ClimateCrisis, #Integrity in politics, workers’ rights, Aboriginal voices, #Education, #AgedCareaged, economic recovery from a global pandemic #FederalICACNow #auspol
The rise of right-wing extremism, erosion of #democracy, toxic culture in our Federal parliament, avoidance of scrutiny and #transparency - none of this will be fixed with a bunch of flowers. #Justice #Equity #NotFlowers
@VoicesWentworth invites @DaveSharma to a Town Hall discussion with Wentworth voters to discuss the issues that matter to them and to explain what action he has taken to secure progress at a national level on the promises he made prior to the 2019 election #auspol

@DaveSharma misses the point. The entire world has just witnessed a shocking attack on #democracy. All the #freespeech noise is deflecting focus from the far more important discussion about the staging of a violent coup by the #POTUS #auspol
smh.com.au/national/twitt…
Trump has not been stripped of his political voice or silenced. He has access to a press agency and the world’s media. He has fallen into his own trap. By dismissing traditional media outlets as “fake news” he has voluntarily limited his own options.
In Australia, with an election possibly on the horizon and growing evidence of a threat from far-right extremist groups, what is needed is calm, objective and clear leadership. We need swift and decisive condemnation of the violent attack and of the #POTUS for inciting it.
