Financial planner, blood donor, but more importantly a dad concerned about our future, integrity, equality, vision. I support @KyleaTink in Canberra.

Front page of the West today speaks to how “low water marks” aren’t necessary low tides to return.

The polling is for the seat of Hillarys, which at one point was “Liberal Heartland” (19% margin a decade ago).

But, having lost the seat, voters aren’t coming back.

Redistribution puts Horatio into Bennelong, now the most marginal seat in Australia. 0.1% margin. Just the way he likes it. Indie @Nicolette_Boele looking the goods in Bradfield also. KT has made an important contribution to redrawing the political map in Australia and a good local MP also.

[Kylea Tink @KyleaTink]

The fact no one person’s vote is any more powerful than another’s is such a strength in our democracy. It’s the very basis of a healthy democracy healthy. If you’re interested in what more your community could be adding to the national debate this conference is for you. #auspol

[David Hyde @DavidHydeCFP]

Amen.

[Helen Haines MP @helenhainesindi]

APH belongs to the people, not major party donors.

The people’s house isn’t a venue for political fundraising.

I was shocked to learn that the Liberals were selling access in APH this week.

We must legislate serious reforms to political donations.

Just like Morrison govt, Albanese govt is captured by the gas industry & self-interest, prioritising Big Gas profits over Aust’s (and the planet's) future wellbeing. Swapping out one fossil fuel for another won’t successfully get us to Net Zero #auspol

Representative democracy is about communities choosing a representative to participate in parliamentary debate. The two party system gags party members and makes everything polarised and simplistic. We CAN recognise nuance and constructively improve legislation.

A parochial post: Northbridge Rotary Community Fireworks, May 4 Northbridge Oval. Gates open 2:30pm. Rides, activities and a whole lot of fun. Theme ?

@Dart47 Just another ‘savvy’, lightweight, run of the mill, race-calling ‘insider’. Jay Rosen laid out the problem. ABC published him 13 years ago, but takes no heed.

Sam Kerr’s case has created immensely important conversations and exposed gaps in Australia’s knowledge, including mine.

I am not at all surprised to have got this wrong, apologise to Sam for reaching the wrong conclusion and am very pleased to be able to improve my advocacy.

How good are these incredible women!

How much richer are we all for these individuals, their unique perspectives, their deep experience, and their willingness to lead as “the adults in the room”.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

There are many things to celebrate this international women's day, not least getting to serve in a parliament that has so many stand-out women, especially on the crossbench, leading change.

[Kate Chaney @ChaneyforCurtin]

Today I’ve announced I will run again in the next election. The Curtin community values long-term thinking, rebuilding trust in our institutions & compassion, not divisive fear-based politics. I will keep #doingpoliticsdifferently. #auspol https://t.co/mARRh76E9q

Do we want tobacco companies influencing policy? They’re back at it. My Restoring Trust Bill would ban donations from social harm industries like tobacco and gambling so we know decisions are made for communities not donors. #auspol #donationreform https://t.co/wyQ3FOjirF

Upgraded…absolutely yes, the 2022 independents have been an exceptional addition to APH…on so many fronts

[Brent Hodgson @BrentHodgson]

Some were worried we would lose something by taking a risk in Kooyong…

I think it’s become increasingly clear we have upgraded.

Substantially.
