Our community campaign has succeeded in forcing the Albanese Government to release an extra 20,000 Home Care packages now.

Thank you to my colleagues on the crossbench and everyone in the community who got involved!

Liberal Party is taking the AEC to the High Court to challenge the result in Bradfield.

If you can, please help @Nicolette_Boele raise money for legal costs.

If the court orders the Liberal Party to pay Nicolette’s legal costs, she will offer a refund. https://t.co/yUpjDOQbdX

My statement on the news that the Liberal Party will challenge the result in Bradfield.

Time to rally - again!

Huge congratulations @Nicolette_Boele and your incredible team of 1,450 volunteers for winning the seat of Bradfield. What a ride! Let’s hope it’s now final.🩵

[Nicolette Boele MP @Nicolette_Boele]

I am incredibly honoured to be provisionally elected as the next Member for Bradfield.

This result belongs to our community. Over 1,450 volunteers came together to reinvigorate our democracy from the ground up.

[CommunityIndependents @CommunityIndeps]

Great analysis here by @BrentHodgson on Monash and why 2PP is misleading in complex contests.
An incredible campaign by @debleonard and her team... watch this space! 🤞

[Brent Hodgson @BrentHodgson]

Monash! INSANE result.

Firstly, the two-party primary is just 52.4% 🤯🤯

Nearly half of all voters backed an IND or minor party here. “4 horse races” are now possible.

INCREDIBLE campaign by @debleonard & community.

INCREDIBLY complex count ahead.

Hey everyone —tomorrow Dickson decides. We’re down to the wire, and now’s the moment to paint the internet maroon 🖌️

Please share this short video it’s simple, clear, and and from the heart. If you believe in this people-powered movement, now’s the time to hit share, tag your friends in Dickson, and help get this message out.

Let’s flood social feeds with maroon and make sure every voter knows they finally have a choice this time.

Want change? Vote for it.

6 days left, and I'll be covering 6 electorates today! This time I'll be exploring 6 LNP seats in Queensland that are under threat - from both Labor and Independents.

1/22 🧵

[CommunityIndependents @CommunityIndeps]

A significant proportion of the population believes a minority government is better for the country:
- 60% of 18-34 year olds
- 58% 35-49 year olds
- 59% of people in financial stress
- 62% of renters

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

In 2022, the Coalition lost an election in which the biggest issue was climate change.

In 2025, they’re going to the election without a single policy which would decrease our carbon emissions in the next 10 years.

"The avg mortgage pays $200k in profit to the banks. The supermarkets made an extra billion last yr when their profit margins went up.

"We can either collect more tax from the big businesses that can afford to pay it, or we can say, Sorry, Marge, you've had it too good." #qanda

[Sue Chapman | Independent for Forrest @drsue4forrest]

Trailblazer. Mentor. Changemaker.

Cathy McGowan AO made history as the first female independent MP to sit on the parliamentary crossbench — and she’s been inspiring community candidates ever since.

[Ellie Smith - Independent @EllieSmithQld]

Peter Dutton holds Dickson by just 1.7%—the slimmest margin of any MP in Queensland. That’s not a stronghold. That’s a seat crying out for change.

I’m not running for the majors. I’m running for our community. And we’re building something powerful—people-powered, local, and fiercely independent.

This campaign is about sensible leadership, real solutions, and putting Dickson first. Always.

We’re not here to make up the numbers. We’re here to represent the community. 

Want change? Vote for it.
