🗞️ The The Sydney Morning Herald published some very powerful letters to the editor this morning. While our current representative faces growing criticism in the community, I remain focused on listening to your concerns and fighting for the values that matter most. Remember - better is possible.

A GREAT read on the magic of the movement, as distilled by Cathy McGowan AO How community independent campaigns REALLY work… thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topic/…

This is the significance of the renewal community independents offer: choice in (former) safe seats controlled by a tiny number of party preselectors. And it’s the significance of Cathy McGowan AO’s interview here: tdunlop.substack.com/p/its-not-all-…

mork Andrew Wilkie MP CommunityIndependents This is why something like Cathy McGowan AO's comment "It's not all about getting your candidate elected" is so weird to some people. But this is a great read on the topic: tdunlop.substack.com/p/its-not-all-…

There is literally TOO MUCH good stuff happening in the wider CommunityIndependents movement to share it all. Candidates in 33(?) seats. (I predict 2-3 more to launch.) Plus 51 local “Voices” groups Australia wide. A quick 🧵 of highlights… communityindependentsproject.org/ci-mps-candida…

When Dickson rises, it wont be in one singular decisive coup de grace by Ellie Smith - Independent for Dickson. It’ll be one-vote-at-a-time, via THOUSANDS of conversations, led by normal people (like you & me). Just like it was in Indi Just like in Warringah Just like in Kooyong… Book into this…

Advice to community Independents…you will be subjected to abuse you have never endured over the next 10 days.You will be tired and living on adrenaline. Stay calm, stay above the abuse …it means you are winning. Stick to your principles and integrity. Good luck.
