1. An Australian second wave feminist icon, @takingalongview, with the perfect and timely title for her memoire.

Wendy has endorsed @spenderallegra for #WentworthVotes

personal thread…
2. I met Wendy as a university student when I was Quentin Bryce’s children-sitter. Quentin was Qld’s Rep on Malcolm Fraser’s National Women’s Advisory Council and Wendy rep’d NSW. Dame Beryl Beaurepaire chaired the Council.

3. The next time I saw Wendy was at the @drkerrynphelps’ by-election night party on October 20, 2018. Wendy chaired Kerryn’s campaign for #WentworthVotes.
4. We met again at the #March4Justice Canberra gathering.
5. The last time I saw Wendy was at @spenderallegra’s campaign launch - nofibs.com.au/thread-liberal…

What a woman!

#WentworthVotes
6. @MediaActive and I were honoured to interview @takingalongview for the #transitzone after the #March4Justice. Delicious.

8. Here’s another 2nd wave feminist in full voice, @Indigocathy - note clarification in tweet 2 :)

1. For those wondering what the ‘Voices for’ movement is here’s a deeply researched essay by #BoothbyVotes independent candidate @instanterudite. I’m not a source :)

#IndependentsDay
2. My @SaturdayPaper take on the ‘Voices for’ movement and it’s relationship with @climate200.

#IndependentsDay

thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…
3. The finale of the @adropex series on the birth & evolution of the ‘Voices for’ movement’s discusses its core #newpower values and how some of the groups founders are mentoring new groups and their experiments in structure.

ANOTHER opportunity for #IndependentsDay candidates to put serious donation disclosure reform on the #ausvotes agenda.

Indies completely justified in operating under current law, otherwise they give Govt MPs an unfair & crippling advantage.

Will the Govt pledge reform too?
2. Maybe an #IndependentsDay candidate or two might ask the sitting MP to agree that both fully disclose donations in real time from the hand shake. Wouldn’t that be interesting :)
3. WILD: @JasonFalinskiMP says Labor must put all #IndependentsDay candidates LAST because @zalisteggall amended her donation return.

Jason, what’s your #ausvotes #HonestPolitics plan? Debate it with @SophieScamps in #MackellarVotes?

Do you back Zali’s’ PolAdsTruth bill?

Excellent backstory to the PM’s startling change of legislative policy on gay students by @LisaVisentin.

I’d add the PM’s pledge during the #WentworthVotes by election in Oct 2018 to URGENTLY ban private schools expelling students for being gay.
2. And here’s the blow-back to the PM’s startling apparent change of heart, reversing his veto on banning private schools expelling gay students in his Religious Discrim Bill.

3. During the #WentworthVotes by election Morrison first backed the right private schools to sack gay students then said he didn’t like it then pledged to repeal the law allowing it urgently. By @Paul_Karp

Barnaby explosively inserts the Nats into the Liberal Party’s crisis.

It’s a woman!

I told her to Confess!

… the PM says he believes no Cabinet minister wrote the texts & is ‘not fussed’ to know who…
2. Oh, Barnaby denies he revealed the texter was a woman.
4. Since Barnaby knows which Cabinet texter gave them to van Onselen and has told him or her to confess, has he disabused Morrison of his confidence that the story is untrue?

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

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.
