1. @SenatorRennick not up for re-election. LNP chose him, a stain on the Party & more proof it swung hard fundamentalist right since the merger &’crushed its liberal wing.

Ground zero for liberalism’s fightback is @SuzieHolt4Groom’s #IndependentsDay campaign at #GroomVotes

2. LNP now expects liberals to vote for Canavan, 2 on Senate ticket - despite his pledge to do everything he can to oppose net zero by 2050.

Canavan - a mate of LNP MP, is central to the push to convert #GroomVotes from a Liberal MP in Canberra to Nats.

My @SatPaper report:-

3. No surprise the that Canavan leads a smear campaign on @SuzieHolt4Groom kicked off by a @couriermail hit. The LNP MP says nothing.

Your move, Ms Holt.

4. Oh, the powerful #GroomVotes Highlands Church has a school in Toowoomba linked to Citipointe.

Great story in the Toowoomba @the_chronicle_.

The #GroomVotes school refuses to comment.

5. @BenSmee uncovered LNP donors, branch stacks and Party politics by Citipointe’s churchgoers as they tried to punish LNP MP Steve Minnikin for his conscience vote supporting decriminalisation of abortion in Qld.

Is #GroomVotes’ Highlands Church enmeshed in Groom LNP?

9. Murdoch’s Toowoomba Chronicle - @the_chronicle_ - runs a Murdoch’s Sky Rita Panahi hit on independents funded by the @simonahac led @climate200 fund he leads yet does not ask #GroomVotes candidate @SuzieHolt4Groom if she has or wants it.

20. The Pittsworth Sentinel (not on Twitter yet) reports visits by @SuzieHolt to the #GroomVotes farming town.

21. SCOOP: Today’s #GroomVotes email to members gearing up for a serious challenge from @SuzieHolt4Groom at a May election.

Groom is the second safest Liberal seat in Australia and the only Qld seat contested by an #IndependentsDay candidate.

22. The @SuzieHolt4Groom corflutes have arrived for #GroomVotes as today’s leaked Groom LNP email to members says its campaign begins Monday after strong donations from local businesses due to the LNP MP’s “productive relationships” with them. @the_chronicle_

#IndependentsDay

23. Email yesterday from the #GroomVotes LNP - easy to see who he’s backing, and a taste of the ‘National Security’ campaign to come.

Groom is the Coalition’s 2nd safest seat.

The #IndependentsDay candidate is @SuzieHolt4Groom.

24. A high stakes pre-election #qt and Garth Hamilton, LNP MP for the nation’s second safest Coalition seat gets a question.

@SuzieHolt4Groom is making waves as the #IndependentsDay candidate for #GroomVotes.

25. As #GroomVotes hots up, here’s a transcript of the #transitzone interview with @SuzieHolt4Groom last July before she decided to nominate as the @VoicesGroom community #IndependentsDay candidate.

Her first KTC:-

26. NEWS: @SuzieHolt4Groom goes public after @mattjcan fails to retract & apologise for allegedly false, defamatory claims designed to destroy her campaign for #GroomVotes.

#IndependentsDay

28. A @mattjcan slur of @SuzieHolt4Groom: “funded by outside, cashed up radical activists” & not a ‘true local’. Designed to destroy her campaign with lies.

Suzie’s donations policy is #Queenslander only - so far all donations are from Groom.

Her letter, Canavan’s reply

29. @SuzieHolt invited a member of extinction rebellion, along with conservative business people in #GroomVotes to her home for the first Kitchen Table Conversation of @GroomVoices.

I wonder, does LNP MP refuse to speak to constituents he doesn’t agree with?

#IndependentsDay

30. The context of the terrible thing @mattjcan and the #GroomVotes LNP member say @SuzieHolt4Groom did by inviting an Extinction Rebellion member to @GroomVoices’ first Kitchen Table Conversation.

41. The @couriermail story on @SuzieHolt4Groom standing up to @mattjcan over his false, defamatory attacks on her designed to destroy her campaign for #GroomVotes .

The Groom LNP MP has since backed Canavan’s remarks.
