Independents have shown for years that they can be a force for positive change in parliament for the communities they represent. It wouldn't be possible without volunteers and I am honoured that 850+ people from across the ACT have signed up to Team Pocock for my campaign.

The Israeli state used an 80-year-old Palestinian man as a human shield. They forced him to look for explosives, under threat of his head being blown off. Then they shot him and his wife. "Every accusation is confession." New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/this-israe...

Why hasn’t Australia joined 79 states (inc U.K.) in signing a statement in support of the ICC? Labor’s support of the Israeli genocide has cost Labor the election. Labor and Liberal have proven they are unfit to govern. Vote Greens or progressive independent for a fairer Australia.

Sixteen months on & @australia.theguardian.com is still parroting this shit. The ceasefire has NOT "halted" Israel's killing of Palestinians It's been over 15mths of GENOCIDE For "about 48,000 killed" read "likely over 200,000" ALSO, Israel killed 100s of Israelis on 7 Oct: Hannibal Directive.

Putting to one side "criminal gangs" running "illegal boat crossings" which I suspect is BS, this is also Labor's story in Oz.
