The Redhead Strikes Back: Fish & Chip Lady, turned Senator, turns Leader of the Opposition? Ipswich’s political matriarch could one day sit opposite the Prime Minister. It sounds absurd - until you look at the numbers.

Ever wondered what could happen if the Liberals continue to abandon the moderate base… Have a read.

Berowra finally has a real alternative to the same old politics—and her name is TINA BROWN! #auspol

Meet the McKinsey analyst turned teal powerbroker Allegra Spender, who could hold the balance of power after the next federal election, grew up in privilege but prides herself on being able to talk to anyone.

“Since arriving on the crossbench, Spender has emerged as parliament’s leading voice for tax reform….She’s one of the most prominent independent MPs, and more than a few in the federal opposition will privately admit they would love someone of her calibre within their own ranks.” #auspol

FAIR electoral form is needed, now.

💔 Australia, my heart breaks. Don't fall for the major party spin—poor leadership and dodgy politics has stolen our spark, joy and aspirations.

I want better for us, for our kids, for our country.

Vote Independent. How the history of our country is written, is decided by how you vote! #turnthepage

@cathyindigovalley.bsky.social flipped the script, making it easier than ever to identify independents running grassroots campaigns across the nation. These movements are creating real, viable alternatives to the major parties.

This is politics done differently—and done the right way.

We’re very fortunate to have such a strong independent news media sector in Australia 👇👇

What an extraordinary declaration for change!

Community + Independent Candidate: A movement worth joining! #auspol

I did a personality test and apparently, I’m an ENFP-T – “Campaigner.” It’s like the universe took one look at me and said, “This one? Let’s make him love long hours, relentless optimism, and talking to strangers about democracy.”

But in all honestly, I’m quite chuffed, it was meant to be.

Our CEO, Tom (4th from right), was thrilled to be in Parliament with Allegra Spender to launch her Tax Green Paper. The paper is a generous offer to inform our next parliament and grounds a call for action in intergenerational equity, highlighting how younger Australians are being “left behind”.

I dropped out at 14. Digital media launched my career, taking me from the streets of Ipswich to my adult life advising leaders in Parliament.

If this ban existed back then, I wouldn’t have stood a chance. Be prepared for kids from low-socioeconomic and rural backgrounds to be impacted most. #auspol

Louder for those in the back!

Just joined what feels like the political equivalent of the Star Wars rebellion—and I’m here for it!

The Suzie Holt 4 Groom campaign? Think Millennium Falcon taking down the Death Star. Let’s do this! #AusPol

NewsCorp conveniently overlooks the LNP isn’t the anti-establishment crusader it makes them out to be. Independents are the real solution to governments that left working-class Australians behind. There’s only so many times you can pull the wool over people’s eyes before they push back. #AusPol

I run campaigns, advise politicians, and fight for the underdog.

I’m here for a space away from “the other place,” which has turned into a haven for right-wing extremism.
