3. ‘Uch ’ Perazza drove from Razorback near Picton to Goulburn for the launch of the @of_hume community #Independentsday candidate.

“After 9 years of nothing from the Liberal Party for Hume we need someone who can instigate change for the better.”

#HumeVotes
4. I meet @NoFibs #IndependentsDay candidate for #HumeVotes in 2019, Mr Huw Kingston - @Huw4Hume!

He sowed the seeds for change here with a wonderful pop-up campaign.

“If it was important in 2019 for people to stand up for climate change & integrity it’s essential in 2022.”
5. @julia_zemiro, a #HumeVotes resident who will host the @of_hume community #IndependentsDay candidate launch, tells the 250+ crowd it’s a few minutes to showtime.

6. @Indigocathy chatting with attendees pre-launch of the 3rd ‘Voices for’ community #IndependentsDay candidate, in Federation seat #HumeVotes. So good that 2 of the first 3 are from regional Australia!

@SuzieHolt4Groom #GroomVotes
7. @julia_zemiro says the #IndependentsDay movement ‘is the community coming together and realising that they have a voice and they need to use it now.’

#HumeVotes
8. Founder of Hume’s ‘Voices for’ community group @of_hume Matt Murfitt, says he was informed by #WarringahVotes and #IndiVotes models. The candidate involved early, set up Kitchen Table Conversations at the Goulburn markets.

#HumeVotes
9. Please follow @PennyAckery, the ‘Voices for’ #IndependentsDay candidate for #HumeVotes. Huge seat, she asks who’s from Bundanoon, Maryland, so many little towns. A few missing - Penny says we need to work at that.

“This is about rekindling our democracy.”
10. @pennyackery: Accountability of our MPs very important to #HumeVotes & a Federal Integrity Commission crucial - big applause. She acknowledges @indigocathy, who introduced FIC bill before she retired in 2019 and handed the matter to @helenhainesindi.

@of_hume @VoteAngusOut
11. Never seen this before - #HumeVotes is a campaign of many colours :) Take your pick, it seems - I went for purple.

@PennyAckery

#IndependentsDay
12. The audience at #HumeVotes is spellbound as @Indigocathy lays down the philosophy of community #IndependentsDay candidates and how it can Hume’s status as a ‘rusted-on” regional seat. And the MAGIC of being on the cross bench to make Govt BETTER.
13. @indigocathy: @pennyackery needs 25,000 people to shift to her - 1 in 4 - up to Penny’s SUPPORTERS to do it. The IGNORED voters are under 25s - please hear them and let them know Penny can be thei t voice if they turn up. Please INVITE them in.

#HumeVotes #IndependentsDay
14. Gee it’s nice meeting Tweeps you’ve known for ages but never seen. Hello
@SandraEckersley, who’s visiting from the South Coast to lend her support to #IndependentsDay “because it is the only community voice now and independents will play a key role in the next Govt.”
15. Virginia King, Crookwell, a @of_hume KTC facilitator, toasts #HumeVotes’ candidate @PennyAckery.

She’ll do fliers, stickers, T-shirts, polling booths. Why?

“We’re heading down the Trump route. I want Govt integrity & action on climate for my grandchildren’s future.”
16. Can’t believe that @simonahac & have never actually met! He was in the audience for the launch of the @of_hume choice for community #IndependentsDay candidate @PennyAckery due to being in the area collecting his daughter.

#HumeVotes
17. @gill_betty & @Agent8610 drove up from Camden in the northern end of #HumeVotes and will rev interest up there for @pennyackerly.

Max: “I’m worried about the place we live in & I’m over the lying by Morrison and Taylor. We need standards again.”

I met @renewhughes on Zoom during the @indigocathy gathering of ‘Voices for’ members in February, which became the @CommunityIndeps project.

We really met at the Canberra #march4justice afterparty - there were quite a few ‘Voices for’ founders there, Sydney and regional. /1
I was intrigued by her story - an architectural communications specialist on Olympics & ICCs locked down no work deciding to stop angsting about Craig Kelly & gather a community together to stand an independent. So #transitzone interviewed her in May. /2

I live-tweeted @drkerrynphelps and @indigocathy launch the @HumansOfHughes group’s findings from its listening process at a community hall next to a western Sydney mall. Thread starts here- /3

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 - let’s 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 hasn’t done it because it can’t be done. This is AWFUL, & she confirms there’s 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.

415. Frydenburg gave $25 billion to companies who made false projections of revenue fall to get Jobkeeper & didn’t require make they repay money not needed. $9 billion to companies who PROFITED. He must resign or get the money back.

417. Funded by Clive Palmer, Craig Kelly is already spamming in #HughesVotes. And beyond?

@HumansOfHughes in the process of choosing an #IndependentsDay community candidate.
418. I’m in safe Nats seat of Lyne, so I guess Craig Kelly’s new benefactor Clive Palmer is spreading the UAP’s net wide.

I’d like spam from political parties banned pronto.

Will Coalition again preference the UAP - even defector Craig Kelly - despite it’s anti-vax misinfo? ImageImage

Premier and PM for Sydney deserted NSW regions & Nats MPs betrayed everyone in their seats. Only an emerging catastrophe in Dubbo-Walgett, where the PM broke his pledge to vaccinate Aboriginal people as a top priority, does Gladys require a permit to leave Sydney. #Comboyne
2. Wanna know how Sydney-centric Gladys and the Nats in her Coalition are, how dismissive of the safety of NSW regional residents? Check out these new restrictions, which would have been in place from day 1 if they gave a shit. #Comboyne

3. NSW Police Commissioner says “biggest rorts” are Sydney residents improperly going to the regions. Been going on for weeks, even in #Comboyne, where cops didn’t even breach the offender when residents reported her. At least a permit is needed now. Where were the bloody Nats??
