@TracyWesterman@Judith54Nunn Somewhere along the line (I want to say Uni) I was actually taught that 'First Nations' was the most respectful term.
Of course I am happy to call Aboriginal people whatever it is they wish to be called.
@zalisteggall Honestly, just having been involved in an Independent campaign & thus, eyes opened to the hurdles (& downright discrimination) anyone other than the major parties face, it's a wonder ANY 'others' get in to Parliament.

It’s entirely possible to largely get rid of the Herald-Sun from Melbourne and parts of Victoria, and to a lesser extent other Murdoch publications from other states.
If enough people seriously want to do this, we’ll run the campaign.
Who’s in?

Liberal party monopoly on aged care homes.
Other candidates turned away & only HTV Lib cards provided.
This is NOT democracy.
(Appears it's been happening for a while, but never rectified, see article)

If you have relatives in aged care, you might want to ask whether the centre selectively removes how to vote cards & grants selective access to candidates:
The seat of Mornington is on a knife's edge because postal votes favour Liberals.
e.g. some aged care homes and retirement villages provide ONLY Liberal HTV Cards. At my mother's aged care home, ONLY the Lib candidate was allowed to visit during the election campaign

I mean like, maybe the liberals can concede that the right wing, anti climate, anti women, anti Indigenous, anti LGBTQIA, anti health, pro religion pro rich people agenda isn't what voters want?
backed by an energetic & passionate team, dr @Kate4Mornington — and several key volunteers — had to sit out the last four days of polling thanks to covid19. 😢
wishing the #independent team in #MorningtonVotes all the best for the count tonight! 🤞
here’s kate before covid:
VIC LIBS' beleaguered campaign has been dealt a terminal blow with The Age walking away from the hopelessly inept opposition at the eleventh hour — its scathing election editorial brutally proclaims “The Age believes the opposition is simply not ready to govern.” #auspol

Incredible insight in to Liberal candidate Chris Crewther in Mornington.
And I have a feeling this barely scratches the surface...

Omigod, the ads coming from @MatthewGuyMP & the Liberal party have me seething.
There's no regulation to stop the lies & they absolutely take advantage of it (as with everything else) 😠
