Up till now both major political parties have “combined” to convince the electorate that a vote for a minor party, or even worse an independent, was a wasted vote. The two-party “duopoly” has been protecting each other’s interest against the interests of the Australian electorate.

The Australian Federal election campaign is in full swing, with voters heading to the polls in the coming months. There are 30 community independents launched so far, ours is going to be the 31st.

Counting down the days till the launch. Let's put people before politics and launch our incredible candidate. RSVP HERE - www.voicesofthetopen...

ICYMI- yesterday's #auspol cartoon from The Guardian

No Australians aren’t trying to solve it. We are trying to melt it. Australia is the 2nd largest fossil fuel exporter and 5th largest producer. If we want to stop Antarctic glaciers collapsing it’s pretty f***ng simple. Stop new fossil fuel projects.
