I am still 'afraid' of Indies whose main claim to fame is being 'not' Lib or Lab.
So what? What do they believe in? What are they 'for'?
The Fed result is instructive. When people voted for 1. Women's safety, 2. Action on climate change and 3. Integrity, how were they (in Wentworth, Kooyong and Goldstein) to know they were electing people so cynical as to apologise for war crimes and genocide just to get re-elected? Disgusting.
Ryan, Spender and Daniel are clearly cut from exactly the same cloth as the empty vessels they replaced. So when we observe Independents we really should be confirming exactly what they are independent of, and what they stand for.
Four years is a long time to be making laws. Who are these people? Are they socialists? Neo-liberals?
Where they stand now on car parks and Light Rail is secondary. What animates them?
After this evening, I still don't know.
