There is literally TOO MUCH good stuff happening in the wider CommunityIndependents movement to share it all. Candidates in 33(?) seats. (I predict 2-3 more to launch.) Plus 51 local “Voices” groups Australia wide. A quick 🧵 of highlights… communityindependentsproject.org/ci-mps-candida…

Thanks Brent Hodgson 🙏 we love these 6 super stars who work tirelessly for the movement. To quote Kylea Tink, they have helped create a culture which is all about, "the we, not the me". Thank you to all the amazing people working hard behind the scenes - you know who you are!!
