@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
