This morning, Former Prime Minister @MrKRudd joined me on the campaign trail in Chatswood, to much fanfare. #ausvotes
Young and old flocked to meet him - he’s immensely popular within Chatswood’s vibrant multicultural community. #ausvotes
@MrKRudd spoke to locals this morning about how he is confident of Labor’s likelihood of forming government on 21 May, and his view that electing a local Labor MP is the only way for North Sydney to gain true representation and have a voice within the government. #ausvotes
The last time @MrKRudd visited this electorate during an election campaign, Labor almost won the seat. This is time around - we’re hoping to do one better and make history here in North Sydney. #ausvotes

We’ve been hearing a lot about strategic voting recently.Australia’s preferential voting system is the envy of the world. We are lucky to have a system which makes it so easy to ensure that we can vote according to our true preferences, and ensure that our vote matters. #ausvotes
Labor has a real chance of winning in North Sydney in this election, and I am humbled by the support I have received from the community. Strategic voting isn’t necessary in order to get us over the line. #ausvotes
In fact, many independently commissioned polls have us in a close second place behind the incumbent Liberal candidate. #ausvotes
Today's special guest on the campaign trail - @jasonyatsenli MP, the very impressive NSW Member for Strathfield. #ausvotes
The locals who stopped to chat with him today were just as impressed with him as I was - Jason has worked in business, worked as a lawyer, worked for the United Nations and was also the Pro-Chancellor at the University of Sydney. #ausvotes
Jason is tri-lingual, so was able to have great conversations with many members of Chatswood's vibrant Chinese-Australian community in both Mandarin and Cantonese. #ausvotes
One question during last night’s Town Hall was about why North Sydney voters should vote Labor over Independent. There are many arguments for this. Here are a few – a 🧵#ausvotes#auspol
One argument relates to the scale of the challenge we are facing right now with climate change. I’ve looked at Zali Steggall’s Bill and I’ve noted that the Climate 200 Independent running in this seat has said yes, she likes Zali Steggall’s Climate Change Bill as well. #ausvotes
That Bill doesn’t detail the scope of work that’s required to achieve the climate targets that Independents wish to achieve. #ausvotes#auspol
