Hmmm - should have read this a few months ago. Will start now to prepare for the next one!

“So David Pocock, let me tell you about MY amazing football career!” (says Therese, after playing women’s soccer today and sitting out most of the game with a thigh strain!) #auspol #progressives

[Australian Progressives @AusProgressive]

When you have nothing to offer, stir up the fear. 🙄

Vote in kindness, honesty and plans for a healthy future.
Vote out the fearmongers.

Demand better and vote 1 - Australian Progressives!

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

So - let’s work towards having the best, highest quality, PUBLIC education system in the world.

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

Gathering at Gungahlin - important to engage with our communities on what THEY see as important for their representatives to focus on. Progressives values of #Engagement #Empowerment #Empathy definitely resonate!

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

It’s very progressive at pre-poll today!

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

No such thing as a wasted vote with preferential voting! Vote for Australian Progressives at #1 and if we don’t get elected, your preferences will flow just as you direct them. Watch this helpful AEC video which explains it well: https://t.co/MUhTfAgoB1

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

Great to be out and about at the Belco pre-polling place today. Made friends with all of the How To Vote hander-outers. Lovely to meet Natasa, the Greens candidate for Fenner.

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

Great question - and love the AEC’s reply 😀

[David Milner @DaveMilbo]

Hey @AusElectoralCom, love your work on the whole elections thing. Question! Will voting for a "teal" independent, or even The Greens, undermine democracy? I've seen that claimed a bunch and would hate to be responsible for the end of free elections in Australia. Cheers.

[AEC ✏️ @AusElectoralCom]

@tim86979974 @DaveMilbo @drpete00 Parties cannot direct preferences. They can only print how-to-vote cards and make suggestions. During the counting process, votes are transferred between candidates according to the preferences marked by voters. The final decision is always up to you! https://t.co/BdRQWmqpaQ

Another excellent community forum - Woden Valley Community Council - last night. Love telling people about our common sense approach to long-term planning underpinned by #ethics #empathy #Equality

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

@jghaines @AusProgressive Yes I’ve filled in my profile and questionnaire. Hope we’re a match!

LEFT v RIGHT ISN'T WORKING.

Imagine the politics of wisdom, experience, compassion and evidence.

THAT'S US.

Great to speak at the Weston Creek Community Centre at a candidate forum last night. Some great energy in the room for #Ethics, #ClimateAction #AffordableHousing

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

Some great ideas here. We need a combination of private and public housing solutions. The policy settings need to ensure everyone has somewhere suitable and affordable to live.

[Region Canberra @RegionCanberra]

Nordic countries offer innovative approaches to addressing #housing shortages and affordability #crises. Ian Bushnell says they're worth considering https://t.co/UTeqQWu5iO

[Therese Faulkner @ThereseCbrProgs]

As one of the wealthiest countries in the world, why do we have people living in poverty and why don’t we have free, top quality education for all? Demand better. Vote for (or why not join?) the Australian Progressives.
