Looking forward to seeing ABC switch the two party in Farrer to the sitting member v @michellemilthorpe.bsky.social. I still remember the moment that first happened in Indi 5 campaigns ago. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes2025

Just cheered when @antonygreenelec.bsky.social was introduced. Feeling quite politically dorkish right now. #auspol #election

"From little things, big things grow" Sal Kimber sang at the first campaign.

12 years later @helenhainesindi.bsky.social is running for her 3rd term, and the 5th term with a fabulous and articulate Independent representative who has integrity all the way to her boots.

Oh my goodness. Anyone else have goosebumps after watching that incredible video about independent representation in Indi?! How fortunate we are to have had Cathy and @helenhainesindi.bsky.social as our MPs. Getting results for Indi. #KeepIndiIndependent #auspol

It's not a real Indi event without Cathy McGowan!

"A community representative is a better choice." True representation results in better laws. Better outcomes. Better communities.

A great reminder to vote for who will engage and represent our community.

Thanks for the alert, LinkedIn. I am the connection. It's me that's hiring the Manager, Strategy Implementation at Charles Sturt Uni. Also HMU if you're interested!

Tomo? Are you there? #BM100

Quick FB post to see if the people I know IRL know what I'm talking about, or whether the internet people are really my people. #BM100

Well on the upside, a whole niche group of internet people will be productive at work a full day earlier than expected 🤷‍♀️ #BM100

No finishers but 1 fun runner (congratulations John Kelly!) and 1 winner (congratulations to the Barkley). #BM100 #LazsRevenge
The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

1 min to go. Cmon Tomo! #BM100

My wife was talking as the notification came through that Keith posted the 15min update.

Me: oh hang on please. Keith has just messaged me.

Totally normal yeah? #BM100

I'm just a girl, standing in front of bluesky, willing @keithdunn.bsky.social to post that they can see lights #BM100

This. Is. The. Barkley.
#BM100
50 mile per hour wind, steady rain, less than 1:15 to go. The runners better be on Ball Bearing Hill if they hope to get here in time. Wherever they are, things are getting intense. This is the Barkley. #bm100

Great response by @mon4kooyong.bsky.social. A focus on the facts, not the games. Another benefit of independent MPs - they aren't political lifers, aren't there jostling for positions in a party, they are there to represent their constituents. We need more of this.

My response to the Liberals negative advertising campaign.

We are 36 hours into the race, meaning the three runners still on Loop 3 cannot continue to Loop 4. However, if they complete Loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. That’s where the real race is now. #BM100

"Party stability these days means blind obedience". Blind party obedience is not in the interest of any electorate. Another reason Independent MPs are such a viable and smart option. #auspol #independentsday
I've spoken to half a dozen LNP MPs who had no idea about the citizen 'referendum' policy Dutton is backing in who all think it is nuts - but that is not the point. None are willing to push back because party stability these days means blind obedience, not challenge.
