Strong belief in equity and equality. Learning to thrive with CPTSD and ADHD, makes for interesting challenges and enormous wins. Love of history, science, political movements. Still holding on to hope that progress wins against regression.

Vote Teal number 1 in this election, even if you want Albo to win, put Labor 2. A progressive cross bench will force Labor to act & innoculate us against the right wing oligarchs. And vote carefully in the Senate. A progressive HOR is hobbled by a conservative Senate.
And in Australia prevention is always better so make sure we are not beholden to a 2 party system again. Independents are the vaccine against a rise of facism in this country

If Paul Fletcher was going to win Bradfield, he’d still be in the race. But after the seat going to preferences ever for the first time last election, a reduced margin from the boundary change and an anti-major party sentiment in the community - he’s retiring rather than losing.

Dutton said he boycotted the apology to the stolen generation because it was just symbolic… so now he wants to get rid of the major symbols of Indigenous Australians

Conspiratorial tosh from my current Federal member. No, Mr Fletcher, the Teals won & you risk losing your seat because voters detested the Morrison govt & the way the 2 party duopoly ignores women, the environment & integrity in govt. Look to yourselves. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Coalition frontbencher says voters conned into backing independents
Opposition communications spokesman Paul Fletcher, facing a battle against an independent at the next election, says teals had duped traditional Coalition supporters.

How are we going to fix this situation. Gina and co flexed their muscles through the No campaign and won against a rollover Labor govt. I cant see any way to counter the creeping oligarchy in #auspol but the crossbench. No wonder the trialition is trying to knobble it.
Anthony Albanese and Mark Dreyfus have failed whistleblowers and Australians. It’s been left to the crossbench (Pocock, Lambie, Haines & Wilkie) to introduce a Bill to strengthen Australia's whistleblower protection laws and establish a Whistleblower Protection Authority. 🤷♂️ #auspol
