The colour is maroon not teal. Ellie Smith is an IND candidate for Dickson in Qld currently held by Peter Dutton on a margin of 1.7%. Like the IND NSW, WA & Vic seats won in 2022 there's community driven support for her but it is a unique seat. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... - ThreadSky

Smith needs to Preference Labor candidate Ali France and Labor needs to preference Smith. I am backing Ali France but if she can’t win I hope smith gets up. The main game is to endure that Dutton is defeated.

Starting to hear that Smith wants Dutton’s seat but will support an LNP minority government. If true she can go and GF.

‘teal’ will very easily become synonymous with ‘woke’ & then it’ll be nigh-on impossible to persuade white Queenslanders to engage. It’s clever to distance herself from the branding (& good for other independents)
