The reason we want an Independent for Mornington Peninsula.
Climate change is happening. We want strong leaders who will take action on fossil fuels and keep the world safer for generations to come

“Teals” are not a party! They vote on conscience and community requirements, not on what the backroom powerbrokers determine
some personal reflections on independents, the new electoral laws — financial gerrymandering — and my role within the movement:
.@simonahac.bsky.social is not a billionaire. But there are actual billionaires “crawling all over our democracy”, who won’t be curtailed by Labor’s donor reforms.
I spoke to Holmes à Court about how the changes hurt new entrants, and why that’s bad for democracy:

Simon Holmes à Court on Climate 200, donation reforms and why Kerry Stokes wields more power than he does
Labor’s electoral reforms are framed around diluting the influence of Simon Holmes à Court. But the Climate 200 founder says this will only cut the legs out from under independent challengers.
