How the ‘great dealmaker’ Donald Trump became impotent on the world stage

This video is making the rounds again for a reason.
A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism.
This is the way!

With Helen Haines also campaigning strongly for a greenfield hospital, we just had a Voices for Indi community independent elected for the fifth time!
One of Helen’s first tasks is to take up the issue of greenfield hospital with the Minister for Health.

About the Albury Wodonga hospital, unfortunately the two state governments and federal government are funding a dud revamp which won’t even meet our current, let alone future, needs. Follow our fight at Better Border Health - Albury Wodonga and region on Facebook.

We cannot rest in the Albury Wodonga region as we are fighting for a new single-site regional hospital. This has led to a big swing against Sussan Ley in Albury, and we still don’t know the final Two Candidate Preferred count.

Keep watching the two candidate preferred count in Farrer - it only started yesterday, only 8% counted.
There’s been a strong swing against Sussan Ley in Albury - our fight for a new regional single-site hospital in Albury Wodonga has been the dominant issue. We need equitable health care funding!
