ABC framing our democracy as a two horse race.
Red v blue
No Greens and no separation of Liberal and National parties.

Complaints by mining companies that Queenslanders will now get a fair return from the export of resources - that belong to Queenslanders - show just how disconnected from reasonableness mining executives are. 1/4. #auspol #qldpol theaustralian.com.au/busines…

Electorate staff are there to serve the constituency not engage in legislative work.Need at least 2 staff to serve Independents in the Parliament on legislation,bills perusal,private members work,meetings and research etc.
Reduction to one staff will compromise their work.#auspol

Framing independent/Green wins as a “problem” for ALP and Coalition is the worst focus. It’s a huge win for a diverse and pluralistic democracy.

Spending public money of the basis of political advantage, rather than merit, means that scarce money gets spent unfairly and on potentially unviable projects. Pork-barrelling is corruption. #auspol smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

An Independent currently polling 36% of primary votes in Willoughby is an extraordinary primary vote in a safe Liberal seat...a big indicator for those excellent Independents standing in the Federal Election.

In 1940s, Robert Menzies brought together a broad spectrum of Australians to create the Liberal Party, to represent the ‘forgotten people’. Today the Liberal Party has forgotten many of these same people. The Nats & Labor have also forgotten their core constituents.

Who said minority Government doesn’t work.
LNP is controlled by Kelly/Christiansen god help us minority.
ALP manoeuvres to placate Fitzgibbon et al minority.
Perhaps voting for decent,thinking,caring Independents next time might deliver better minority Government. #auspol

Deficits in their DNA -- Liberals are now the party of big government, committed to big taxes, big spending and big borrowing.
(Psst, a little secret for journos - the Libs have always been the party of Big Gov). crikey.com.au/?p=589412

Australia's big political parties are struggling to compete with grassroots campaigns. If you want your vote to count and your issues represented in Parliament, then vote independent. #auspol #independentday theguardian.com/australia-ne…

We would encourage everyone to watch #QandA on Monday to listen to @helenhainesindi talk about her Integrity Commission Bill. It is a bill that we support. If police officers have to undergo public hearings, then so can politicians & public servants. #1ruleforall
I’ll be on #QandA this Monday to make the case for my Integrity Commission Bill, for my #LocalPowerPlan to drive renewables in the regions, and to press for a stronger bushfire recovery. Indi has been hit hard by 2020, and we need leadership from Government for a better 2021.

Last night I spoke to @abc730 about my integrity commission bill. This is the right bill for the parliament to debate. This is the right time to have that debate. And this is the robust integrity commission that Australians are calling for. This is the moment to #BringOnDebate.
David Abrahams - Digital Editor CCNews retweeted
The Australian public are crying out for a Federal Integrity Commission. And the longer we go on without one, the more our democracy is tarnished. I'm calling on the Government to step up, keep their promise, and #BringOnDebate.
