Happily and proudly former Independent MP for Indi. “CathygoestoCanberra” tells the story:

[Tom the whistleblower @blowingtom2]

“She’s not onto something, she’s an idiot!” I’ve disagreed with Amanda several times, but I sat next to her on a flight from Canberra to Adelaide and will say, she is one of the funniest and witty people I have ever met. I laughed the whole way.

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Another win for #PaulineHanson. Her candidate in Farrer will receive preferences of #Liberals & #Nationals. Only hope of stopping One Nation victory is for traditional conservative voters to defy their Parties & vote for Independent #MichelleMilthorpe.

@Jansant @TonyHWindsor Such a nice story Wayne! Tony and his team always looked ‘the little people” RIP

[Michael Thomson @thomoinrocky]

@AgriFuturesAU @Indigocathy This was a great conversation to be a part of - I learnt so much about our rural history. It's a pod every young person (and a few older blokes too) should take time to listen to. Thanks @Indigocathy !

[Cathy McGowan AO @Indigocathy]

@thomoinrocky @AgriFuturesAU Thanks Michael - and that is only my version - there’s many more perspectives

[Cathy McGowan AO @Indigocathy]

@Jansant Hi Jansant - lets do our ‘own’ Yack pub? Lots to catch up on!

[Anita Brown @AnitaBrown02]

Pleasantly surprised to find such an honest article about media behaviour on @abcnews site. Hope to see more of it ⁦⁦@grhutchens⁩. https://t.co/qXys17jTtx

[Cathy McGowan AO @Indigocathy]

@Jansant @danilic Agree! Time is now- to begin the work of winning from the ‘sensible centre’ in ‘28

[Cathy McGowan AO @Indigocathy]

@TonyHWindsor Absolutely wonderful to see- can you please Give us a close up Tony!

[Tony Windsor @TonyHWindsor]

Advice to community Independents…you will be subjected to abuse you have never endured over the next 10 https://t.co/4fLB0Y0ykS will be tired and living on adrenaline.
Stay calm, stay above the abuse …it means you are winning.
Stick to your principles and integrity.
Good luck.

When Dickson rises, it wont be in one singular decisive coup de grace by @EllieSmithQld.

It’ll be one-vote-at-a-time, via THOUSANDS of conversations, led by normal people (like you & me).

Just like it was in Indi
Just like in Warringah
Just like in Kooyong…

Book into this…

[Cathy McGowan AO @Indigocathy]

Why do it? Great chat @AlexDyson

[VoicesofWannon @VoicesofWannon]

Community independent Alex Dyson having a chat with the wonderful Julia Zemiro. A better deal for Wannon! Yes!

[Brent Hodgson @BrentHodgson]

This is the significance of the renewal community independents offer: choice in (former) safe seats controlled by a tiny number of party preselectors.

And it’s the significance of @Indigocathy’s interview here: https://t.co/wJGfRjT7GY

[Brent Hodgson @BrentHodgson]

Two weeks ago I posted how betting markets hadn’t priced in the SCALE of @EllieSmithQld’s campaign against Peter Dutton.

Last week she ran 73 volunteer-led voter outreach events.

NOW people are waking up to what she’s doing in Dickson, & she’s pulled ahead of Labor.
