How is supporting billionaire enabled #whiteaustralia #colonialism a win for Australia? An #independent supported by the #murdoch + @[email protected] family? How is that politics for the people when they're some of the world's largest landowners? #farrer #communityindependents #AusPol

# Democracy by the people, for the people — not politics as usual

## 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”

There is no need for a referendum, this is not a change to the constitution or a change to the federal state law making arrangements. This is purely a federal law which has been recently been changed by the Labor government to make it worse for #communityIndependents.

Imagine that ... on looking at the photos of the event, I could see the scientists talking to 2 #CommunityIndependents and 1 #Green MP. Strangely, no #Liberals or #Notionals - does that indicate something ? #AusPol

“The answer to that disillusion isn’t more outrage, it’s rebuilding belief. It’s reconnecting people with each other and showing that democracy can still work for them…”

“The strength of the community independents movement lies in rejecting false choices.
It doesn’t ask people to pick between jobs and the environment, or between progress and stability. It starts with practical questions: What do we value? What kind of future do we want for our kids?…”

“As the far right feeds on anger and alienation, the independents movement is building something far more powerful: Connection, trust and shared purpose…”
