Giant green left conspiracy member according to Paul Fletcher. Easily duped. Sorry. #auspol #dogs #banalities #trivia #obsessions #indulgences #BradfieldVotes Not nec in that order

So far as I'm aware, there's only one federal candidate who has done this in oz history: Nicolette Boele in Bradfield. It's not as simple as the candidate putting their hand up. It requires community support, genuine commitment, fortitude, integrity, a team & courage. That's a rare combination.
I spoke with Vic candidates who found this to be true (at state level). And a few months is unlikely to be enough.
AUKUS and the Quad working as intended I see. At some point Canberra and London might wake up.
The strategic genius of the short-fingered vulgarian who’s managed to upset 40 years of geopolitical reality simply because he thinks he deserves a Nobel Prize and Modi didn’t agree with him.
Well done Donald @chadbourn.bsky.social @snellarthur.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social

And so it begins.
Legacy media focuses on leadership bs in a party that has dialled itself into irrelevance.
Joyce? McCormack? Littleproud? Who cares? Does it matter? Wholly owned subsidiaries of mining companies vote the way they are told.

Went to Nicolette Boele's volunteer get together this evening for a couple of hours - a lot of people, many great friends who've met over the years through various campaigns.

Everyone is very happy. Nic, her team and volunteers have worked SO hard.

Bradfield! 🙌 #auspol

It's been a challenging few weeks since the election, and nothing, absolutely nothing, should be read into this.
And yet... solace at this point... let's see what next week brings....

I love what Climate 200 and the whole Indie movement is doing - but this lesson needs to be learned (you now have even more data showing it): Candidates can't be last minute. The candidates need to be on the ground for at least 12, preferably 24 months. Not just the campaign, but the *candidates*

My mum’s been volunteering on the Nicolette Boele campaign in Bradfield. She spent the day scrutineering & said how supportive other community ind supporters have been. Vols from the Scamps, Steggall & Spender campaigns have turned up to help scrutineer. She said there’s a great sense of community

Liberal Bradfield candidate Gisele Kapterian pulls out of debate with Independent Nicolette Boele on #abc730. Sarah Ferguson says Kapterian was invited both “for a debate or to be interviewed separately” yet still “declined”🙄Liberals are so weak. #AusVotes25

Nicolette Boele was absolutely brilliant on #abc730. Her Liberal opponent Gisele Kapterian was too afraid for a debate so Boele came on alone & handled Ferguson’s questions with ease. Clearly very smart, another strong Independent woman is exactly what we need🩵#BradfieldVotes

There's hard hitting political commentary.
There's pointed political barbs.
There's going thru the motions.
Then there's whatever this is.
