But just now - a stich up is under way.

"My hope is that what Trump is doing, his retreat into climate madness, is that it will bring people together into action."

said Craig Foster at the #ClimateIntegrity Summit.

Fmr Senator Doug Cameron: fossils are only considered a 'cheap' energy source because they have never paid for their externalities - their waste, their environmental impacts or their social cost.

I will fight for:

Solomon deserves a leader who listens, collaborates, and acts.

The community independent movement is the antidote to feeling powerless. It's building community, it's practicing democracy and getting better representation. It's also FUN - get involved!

Despite our government calling it a technology sharing agreement, AUKUS ties us to US foreign policy for decades, and to a degree to US domestic policy.

Finding a way out of AUKUS is essential. Difficult, but essential.

We've seen it in the US election, and now it's happening here. What is behind the rise of 'double haters'? The past week has given us a taste of the degustation of political messages we are about to be bombarded with ahead of the next election. And it isn't pretty.

Up till now both major political parties have “combined” to convince the electorate that a vote for a minor party, or even worse an independent, was a wasted vote. The two-party “duopoly” has been protecting each other’s interest against the interests of the Australian electorate.

You may have noticed a significant rise in Independent candidates this year—those who are not affiliated with any political party. Community independents vote for their communities not on a party line and that is a powerful promise to constituents.

The Australian Federal election campaign is in full swing, with voters heading to the polls in the coming months. There are 30 community independents launched so far, ours is going to be the 31st.

Counting down the days till the launch. Let's put people before politics and launch our incredible candidate.
