We have the same Parliamentary status as the independents - ie none of us are in Parliament now, but we're all looking to enter Parliament and serve our communities (or re-enter, in our case).

One group is framed as a "new force" and the other "defunct". RUDE, Phil. Just RUDE.

Our minor parties - all of them - represent the true richness of the Australian political landscape, and the diversity of political thought we enjoy in this country.
The emerging independents movement is part of this great tradition as well.
#auspol #MinorParties 🗳️ Voting for a minor party or independent is not a waste of your vote thanks to Australia's preferential voting system.

Yes, the public absolutely has a right to know about Canberra's culture. Because the people working there aren't just representing us the public as our elected representatives, they're formulating the laws that control our society. 1/7
