@hula_grl Cameo huh? Love the anecdote that the McGowan Sisters swung into gear for Indi in 2013. Family Are Formidable. Thanks @australianstory for a fascinating insight into the “Voices Of” and Independents movement. #ausvotes2022

“The fact that they [the independents] do have common branding and an element of common funding does mean they are, at the very least, loosely aligned. Are they a formal party? Well, no. This is somewhere in the middle.” —@David_Speers #election2022 #auspol #AustralianStory

I can’t wait to see Monday’s @AustralianStory! Cathy McGowan was a trailblazer - not just for independents, but also for small communities who realised they could have a voice in government. Cathy has shown how having indie voices in government is such a positive thing.
