Quiet Australians Stand Up

Quiet Australians call for climate change action from all politicians.

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

@smh @DaveSharma How about: policy (or lack of) that will lead to catastrophic global warming of >3 degrees is unpopular.

Promising an ICAC and then not creating it, while bashing NSW ICAC relentlessly, is unpopular.

Neither are left/right issue and they are no. 1 and 2 concern in Wentworth

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

Most glaring problems with this argument:
1. There was no climate policy and hasn't been for many years.
2. There was no integrity policy. They drafted something and never tabled it, and Morrison said there'd be nothing further.

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

Dave Sharma already re-writing history in the SMH.

Let's be clear: there is absolutely no interpretation of the integrity or climate 'policies' that found them "credible" and that addressed the issues.

If there were, why did Sharma barely mention either the whole campaign?

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

How politicians and political parties traditionally operate is a huge part of why so many of us are completed disengaged from politics.

And how the Voices Of model operates is a huge part of why so many people are now getting involved, and are actually excited about government!

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

Voices of Wentworth has been so invaluable to us all in the electorate.
-Hosting talks with experts, both in person and online
-Community engagement (!!!), getting out there and talking to residents week after week about what they want from government
-Always fair and impartial

[Voices of Wentworth @VoicesWentworth]

Congratulations to Allegra Spender for winning the seat of Wentworth.

We look forward to working with you.

VoW will continue listening to the community, providing voters with fact-based information & advocating for issues people care about.

Climate was and still is the number one issue in Wentworth.
Dave Sharma offered nothing new and barely mentioned it. Never disputed he votes with Barnaby on climate.
He did promise to upgrade Lyne Park in Rose Bay, which council can actually do.

Wentworth voted accordingly.

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

What just happened!
Millions of people, in every kind of electorate, marked "1" on their ballot paper for climate action.

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

Vote 1 climate action!

“It’s a rebellion from the sensible centre.” - @spenderallegra

With just one day to go until polls close, we're feeling optimistic after reading this @nytimes article on the rise of female independent candidates.

@almalumley Our observation is that Turnbull has been heavily involved in renewable energy for last three years and has called out the senseless support for fossil fuels in the Coalition, plus their blatant failures on other matters. Seems more than just spite.

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

Just think: In 2018, Dave Sharma was Turnbull's preferred candidate for Wentworth, drawing strong praise from the former PM.

In 2022, Turnbull all but told his community to vote for Sharma's opponent, Allegra Spender.

That's how disappointing an MP he has been!

[Malcolm Turnbull @TurnbullMalcolm]

Congratulations from Lucy and me to @DaveSharma - new Liberal candidate for Wentworth. As a diplomat Dave has represented Australia magnificently overseas, and now if elected will make a great contribution in our national parliament.

[🌏 Zali Steggall MP @zalisteggall]

Count on Kerry O'Brien to speak sense. In his speech at the Friends of the ABC event, he too questioned the attacks on Independents. The powerful want to preserve the status quo. Australians want to preserve the planet. Time to vote for change. #ausvotes

Dave Sharma ad: "I want Wentworth's voice to be heard, in the room where it happens"

Dave Sharma supports expanding gas use, thinks EV targets are Soviet Union-esque, and was silent when ARENA funding was cut.

He's been in the "room" for 3 years and it's been a disaster.

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

Amazing how far this stretches! Final 3 days - let's do this.

[Allegra Spender @spenderallegra]

Loved this morning. This is what it looks like to line New South Head Rd with over 150 volunteers. Over a kilometre of teal - we’re ready for Saturday💪

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

@DaveSharma Gas fired recovery? 🤐
2030 targets? 🤐
EV policy? 🤐
Plan to phase out fossil fuels? 🤐
Coral bleaching? 🤐
Fossil-fuelled floods? 🤐

Simon Holmes a Court and Climate200? 🤬🤬

[Quiet Australians Stand Up @QuietAusStandUp]

@DaveSharma The world is experiencing rapid climate change, an issue of utmost importance to your electorate.

So why have we had 6 weeks of you attacking Holmes a Court? Barely a mention of any policy, let alone climate action.

Really, really disappointing.

[Australian Religious Response to Climate Change @arrcc1]

Our team in Wentworth held a moonrise vigil at Bondi Beach for people who have been campaigning hard for climate justice. No corflute battles: whoever takes the seat must act decisively and urgently for deep, economy-wide emissions cuts.

OKAY everyone, look here. It is time for a mega-thread of just the nastiest, shittiest, most planetarily destructive things that the Australian government has done over the past 3 yrs.

There will be swears. Tears. Charts. Articles. And I'll add to it as we get closer to May 21
