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
In August I asked Linda to write an open letter to Hughes voters-



After a star candidate withdrew Linda put her hand up as one of 6 nominees to be the @HumansOfHughes candidate, and an independent panel chose her.

Linda has become a friend.

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??
