‘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.

#HughesVotes
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.

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

#HughesVotes
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.”

#HughesVotes #IndependentsDay
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.

#HughesVotes #IndependentsDay
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!”

#HughesVotes
14. My thread on how I got to know and deeply admire @HughesRenews, the 4th ‘Voices for’ community #IndependentsDay candidate.

#HughesVotes
15. And now, a SONG for the @hughesrenew campaign at #HughesVotes

Liz Aitken wrote and sang ‘A vote for integrity, a song of hope for the Hughes community’.

The retired music teacher and folk singer: “It’s my way of stepping up.”

#IndependentsDay
16. Anita Elstob signed the campaign volunteers values pledge before collecting her campaign T-shirt.

“This is what we’ve been waiting for. I want to get behind a candidate who has the values we want all politicians to have.”

#HughesVotes #IndependentsDay
17. PODCAST: our #transitzone podcast interview with the 4th ‘Voices for’ community #IndependentsDay candidate, @HughesRenews before she decided to stand. It’s fascinating.

There it is. Former DHS secretary Renee Leon said she and 4 other Dept secretaries were sacked by Morrison Govt after the 2019 election because they believed in “frank and fearless advice”.

#Robotdebt
23. This @lukehgomes 2019
gets it a little wrong - Govt decided to #Robotdebt aged pensioners from the start, put those savings into forward estimates, then exempted aged pensioners. Fiscal corruption, yes?

https://t.co/3rVQvQShCbamp.theguardian.com/australia-news…
24. Stuart Robert’s admits Coalition Govt decided in 2016 to subject aged pensioners to #Robotdebt. saving #600 mill.

Now Dutton opposes rich retirees losing a portion of huge tax concessions for income from super balances of more than $3 million. saving $2 bill

Says it all.

3. Good start for the sitting LNP MP in @the_chronicle_ exit poll on day 1 of #GroomVotes pre-polling. Please follow @GillespieTom17, who’s on the ground for the Toowoomba daily.

Here comes @SuzieHolt4Groom!

An explosive report in Toowoomba’s @the_chronicle resets the #GroomVotes campaign, suggesting a big chunk of LNP and Labor voters have switched their support to her.

Will Garth Hamilton still boycott tonight’s candidates forum in Highfield?
3. #GroomVotes voters, you can question @SuzieHolt4Groom at tonight’s Toowoomba Busienss Network candidates forum. The sitting LNP has refused to attend - his one and only candidates forum was last night.

This is what happens when @CUhlmann smears @Mon4Kooyong in a Tweet without context. Terrible loss for @9NewsAUS and voters. A debate in Kooyong with undecided constituents on Nine would have been free to air. But will Josh be game to agree?

#KooyongVotes
2. What the hell is wrong with @abcnews and @9NewsAUS??? Surely a local town hall with undecided local voters is not beyond them? Free to air much better for all voters. 3 times now Murdoch’s Sky - Zali-Abbott 2019, Allegra-Sharma, now maybe Monique-Josh is bloody ridiculous.
3. I thought when @David_Speers joined @abcnews it was in box seat to host a free to air town-hall #leadersdebate pioneered by Sky. To have the first #leadersdebate on a Murdoch cable channel live-streamed by Murdoch media a disgrace.

Will there be a free-to-air #leadersdebate?

‘Liberal’ Party becoming the US Republican Party before our eyes. Ugly culture wars, glorifying guns, policies for sale to big donors, public service destruction, corrupt govt appointments, the lot.

True liberal voters need to take a stand now to save our faltering democracy.
2. The host of this gun-toting fundraiser for the ‘Liberal’ Party? The biggest supplier of guns etc to OUR Defence Force! Enough merging guardians of the public interest with private profit. Time to stop rampant Canberra corruption in Canberra! Vote to save decent democracy.
3. The proof: What a pleasure it must be for a huge Defence Force supplier - OUR defence force - to host a $5,000 a head gun-toting ‘Liberal’ Party fundraiser. This Govt sells its soul and our democracy very cheap.

We gotta cleanse corruption in Canberra FAST.

I’ll do a thread on the undecided #WentworthVotes audience questions at the @spenderallegra v @DaveSharma debate.

1. Alllegra, who would you vote for in a hung Parliament? And what about the cost of living?
2. Allegra: I’m open to work with whoever forms Govt. If a hung Parliament it depends what is on the table by both. Whever wins I will work across Parliament for action on climate change, integrity etc.
3. What will you do about the pensioner deeming rate re nursing homes?

Moderator question: Deves?

Sharma: Her comments “reprehensible”. No comment on disendorsement. Admits our laws already allow exclusion of trans women from competitive women’s sport!
