6 yrs ago, Good Weekend spotlighted @zalisteggall's grassroots campaign in Warringah.
Back then: 1 Community Independent in Parliament
Now: 38 running, with 10,000s of volunteers behind them.
Communities are awake, engaged, & demanding politics that puts people first.

The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about Minority Governments, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

How hard is your MP working for you?
Division votes are a key part of representing you in Parliament. If your MP only shows up half the time, it’s worth asking why. Attendance matters. Accountability matters. Make your vote count.

How the pokies + coal lobbies are conspiring to target seats, and subvert democracy for their own gains.
We knew they did it, but finally here’s the “Red-Blue strategy” smoking gun.
The choice in every community independent contested seat:
🤔 A big-party loyalist who'll vote how a big-party boss tells them.
😇 The Independent, who puts your local community first every time.
"If they're not crossing the floor, show them the door."

Thanks @BrentHodgson 🙏 we love these 6 super stars who work tirelessly for the movement.
To quote @KyleaTink, they have helped create a culture which is all about, "the we, not the me".
Thank you to all the amazing people working hard behind the scenes - you know who you are!!
While the community independent for Dickson was on the ground preparing for the worst weather event in decades, Peter Dutton flew to Sydney for a billionaire-hosted Liberal fundraiser.
Nothing changes.
"Liberal campaign workers report that former Liberal voters have expressed reluctance to return to the fold because of the 'Trumpification' of the party.
Labor research [shows] people alarmed by Trump are having second thoughts about voting for Dutton."

For decades Australians have been told a lie.
We’ve been told that only the major parties can govern.
But do you feel like they’ve been solving the problems we face?
As a voter at one focus group said:
“It’s a choice between sh*t, and sh*tter.”

There is literally TOO MUCH good stuff happening in the wider @CommunityIndeps movement to share it all.
Candidates in 33(?) seats. (I predict 2-3 more to launch.)
Plus 51 local “Voices” groups Australia wide.
A quick 🧵 of highlights…
