#communityindependents — Public Fediverse posts

ACT has two new “voices” groups: #Belconnen / #Gungahlin and #Canberra, styled as #communityIndependents. The latter featured in today’s Canberra Times.

I have explored things “voices” for many years and maybe should write more about it one day, but ... First, I think it’s a good thing. Second, it may be little understood these groups are not bottom-up. #ACTPol #AUSPol

## The Problem We Can't Ignore

Australian democracy faces a crisis of legitimacy. Trust in politicians sits at historic lows. Permanent campaigning rewards short-term thinking. Major parties remain captured by vested interests. And everyday Australians—the people who live with the consequences—are sidelined from decisions about their future.

“Corbyn denies endorsing ex-Tories – but it’s still an almighty mess”

“On Thursday 2 April, a leaflet emerged featuring three ex-Tory councillors who claimed to be ‘endorsed’ by [Your Party leader] Jeremy Corbyn. Since then, Your Party and Corbyn have denied endorsing these men. Instead, the situation seems to be that they recently joined the Walsall Community Independents group which Corbyn has voiced support for”

@oaf Now lets try out the individual ones, along with how Mastodon does replies...and we're talking about 80 of them, but lets see how that goes.
Shall we start with those wonderful meritorious community independents that everyone froths their mouths over, thinking that they're not racist?
hmm...
COME ON DOWN DAVID POCOCK:

The #Climate200 #CommunityIndependents are badly in need of funds to help them gain more seats at the upcoming federal election in Australia.

Please consider a donation if you can.
To supercharge this emergency appeal, all donations will be doubled by Fairground, a philanthropic foundation dedicated to justice and integrity.

Let there be no doubt, #DavidPocock is absolutely correct. #CommunityIndependents #climate200 🥂

Watchdog commissioner’s future ‘untenable’ after ‘bias’ finding, David Pocock says https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/nov/02/anti-corruption-watchdog-commissioners-future-untenable-after-bias-finding-david-pocock-says-ntwnfb?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Keep up the good work #ZoeDaniel !! #CommunityIndependents #Climate200

Congratulations to #JimChalmers & the #Labor party for achieving in their first term something that the #LNP could not manage to achieve in 9 horrific years of financial incompetence, #socialSuffering & political announcements. As you all know I will always give #CommunityIndependents and #Greens candidates my 1st preference, but I am extremely pleased that #Labor are on the government benches & I hope it stays that way for a long time!

@cathfyffe @feather1952 is it fair to assume that you are a Labor Party member? I could probably name a number of pieces of legislation that have been passed in the Senate with the help of the greens, but you probably don’t really care do you? For the record, I am a strong supporter of #communityIndependents & #Climate200 😁🥂
