Thank you for your support.

#auspol We see you #Labor & #LNP ONE THIRD of Australian voters now DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY OF YOU. We are not fooled by your cartel type behaviours. At least in these specious reform ideas you will inspire more voters against you. 🙏God for #PocockforACT #communityindependents

Cathy was in the group that initiated this democratic engagement in 2012. Simply sharing their story spread this form of positive, local, respectful democratic participation. #auspol2025 How community independent campaigns actually work. https://t.co/kebKa8xjAQ via @SatPaper

This Parliament has not passed bills addressing the homelessness and rental crises, and other cost of living issues. But the major parties colluded this week on legislation increasing their own public funding, and making it harder for independents to be elected. Priorities.

I post this as a community note because it is clearly not popular at the moment to speak plainly about this disease & its ongoing impact through official channels. We are at the ‘boiling our own water’ stage of public health control of airborne infections although there are

Our household has COVID, primary school the likely source. We work hard to avoid it but this reflects that once again our community is awash with this virus, the 2nd-3rd major spike this year without any very ‘low’ period in between. Every infection/re-infection does damage so

I’m passionate about the art of policymaking and exploring the barriers and enablers to investing in public health in Australia, and excited to read this book by @CairneyPaul and Emily St Denny, which poses the compelling question: "If prevention is better than cure, why isn’t

10. The Bill has been agreed by the Government and Coalition behind closed doors. They can’t agree on anything else, but suddenly they see eye to eye. Suspicious much?

In the House right now, attempting to refer the ‘electoral reform’ bill to committee. It’s so complicated it took 6 months to draft, but apparently it’s now perfect and Australians will be fine with paying more for less choice. #auspol #electoralreform

4/5 people think changes to electoral laws deserve scrutiny. Do you want to have a choice of how you are represented or are you happy to choose between Party A and Party B? The major parties are locking out future competition. #auspol #electoralreform

1. The major parties think that after a short noisy objection about this Bill, the public will forget and they can stop the generational trend and return to two-party rule.

2. Despite being the ‘biggest change to our electoral system in 40 years’ and taking 6 months to draft, the Govt says no committee inquiry is needed. Nothing to see here...

3. Taxpayers pay a whole lot more (up from $2.91/vote last time to $5.00/vote) for less choice. Only those who got votes last time get $$ so it's harder for new Independents.

7. Despite the Govt saying for years that they support real-time disclosure over $1000, this will not be law in time for the next election (too little too late!).

6. Parties can exceed the spending cap of $800k – ads that say ‘vote Labor/Liberal’ don’t count towards this cap!

5. Incumbents can exceed the spending cap of $800k – their office, car, team, comms budget don’t count (but a new Indi would have to fund these things)
