I’ll do a thread in the #leadersdebate questions asked.

Paul: what will you do on housing affordability and to stop foreign ownership of homes.
2. What will you do improve the nursing workforce - especially Australians - and particularly in aged care.
3. Roger: PMs Federal Integrity Commission Bill - how will you give it teeth, especially public hearings.
4. Vladimir: How will you help Australia with batteries and electric vehicles?
5. Catherine: I have a 4 year ild autistic son - my funding has been cut and that of many others. What would the future of the NDIS look like?
6. Daniel: Many small and micro businesses left out in the cold during COVID - family biz with no employees or sole traders, and we were told to sacrifice our retirement by using our super. Your plan to help small biz, sole traders and micro businesses?
7. Martin: re the Emergency Response Relief Fund. emergency Explain what you’ll do for immediate recovery and flood proofing in SE Qld and Northern NSW?
8. Claire: There’s record low public trust in the integrity of the democratic process. What will you to restore trust in our democracy?

Morrison: A strong economy!!!

Albanese: A strong Federal Integrity Commission. Unite the country on common ground, not go for wedge.
9. A record number of young people don’t enrol to vote. How do you encourage them to participate?
10. My only real beef with Albanese was that he did not stress the gigantic error of the Govt not ensuring payback of Jobkeeper by companies which profited from COVID.

And my definitive q and a:-
11. 100 undecided voters result at #leadersdebate:

40% Albanese
35% Morrison
25% Undecided
12. Well, well, an acquaintance attended the #leadersdebate and has just agreed to write a piece for @NoFibs on the experience.

Here’s hoping on-the-bus journos now have a notion of some of the issues people want to have addressed and ask questions on their behalf at last.
14. Albanese’s answer to Claire’s #leadersdebate question on what the leaders would do to restore Australians’ plummeting trust in the integrity of our democracy, PM - a strong economy.

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!

1. Damien Hodgkinson is sole shareholder & a director of @Climate200. He profited last election by doing the donation books of several independents - $30k a pop. inc @zalisteggal. Charged $30k a pop.

Then went big, still on the @Climate200 Board, seeing ‘a gap in the market’.
2. @climate200 denies conflict of interest in Hodgkinson’s lucrative double play.

Aren’t #IndependentsDay campaigns about local capacity building? INDEPENDENCE from donors? No local would do it for free or lower cost?

@climate200 enriching mates?

3. I worked with Simon on @NoFibs’ 2010 #IndependentsDay campaign & he donated to my crowdfund. I knew @climate200 donated to 3 candidates we backed, none on the story’s list.

I had no inkling @climate200 people were profiting from candidates. ZERO.

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

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.

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.

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?

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:- ImageImage
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.
