📣 We Are Hughes

Justice. So many concerns were raised. May those that ignored the flags reflect on their reasons for ignoring issues. May they also feel some guilt. #FrankZumbo

I just came across this old thread, it’s interesting looking back. I ended up getting a few thousand votes, hardly scratching the surface towards a win, but still I’m proud. Craig Kelly is now an irrelevant sideshow. Breathing easier doesn’t come close to describing the relief.

Exhibit B in Hughes’ Craig Kelly era I didn’t win, but my goodness I and others helped give Kelly and Co a nudge out the door. Be gone, but never forgotten! Former Craig Kelly staffer feared retribution if she spoke about alleged touching by Frank Zumbo theguardian.com/australia-news…

Welcome to Australia’s oldest and the world’s second oldest national park Enjoy photos of coal sludge washing into Hacking river from nearby mining. Bonus joy, the miner makes billions and pays no tax in Aus😉 #wrongplaceforamine #dontspoiltheroyal 📷 credit #firstnationalpark

Great news! Now please end the Royal National Park polluting mining under the Woronora water catchment. 🙏 @tanya_plibersek @SSEnviroCentre @Protect__Water abc.net.au/news/2023-02-0… via @ABCaustralia

Craig Kelly ran rampant with unhinged views. His Facebook page was a commune for like minded. Morrison didn’t stop him, Facebook did. He is now emboldened on Twitter. Some unspeakable acts are fostered into being. Abetted by silent complicity. Craig Kelly, gone, not forgotten.

I’m sitting outside, reflecting on the week’s work of parliament. I’ve got a cool one to salute some great work. Here’s cheers to you @helenhainesindi and @AustralianLabor for delivering the #NACC legislation. We can all rest a little easier. #Indi #Beechworth #Thankyou

@MsLSeymour I will never forget. We are eternally grateful to you and @HumansOfHughes for making his actions transparent, resulting in him leaving the Libs and no longer being of much import. I hope it stays that way too 🤞

Never forget that Hughes was home to a Trumpian convert who’s love of conspiracy theories and crack pot science thwarted action on climate change and fanned the fear of “freedom” fighters. Craig Kelly is gone, but not forgotten. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/o…

A salient reminder for us all. An ode to the NHS, and, by extension, all free and available healthcare. Well worth watching.

@AliCat34391628 @MsLSeymour Shared with other candidates. Across the country there were 6 Thompsons, 2 Wares, 2 Steeles, and 2 Seymours (that were both in Hughes)

@MsLSeymour I’m trying to work it out, but can’t. What do they mean when they say that 5 out of the 6 candidates in Hughes had shared surnames? I can only remember 2 🤔.

I received an evacuation notice last night due to imminent flooding. I’m fine, many others are not. The years lost through not even trying to reduce our devastating footprint on the planet makes these events harder. 1/2 #Sydneyfloods

The NSW Planning Minister can end this farce with a simple ‘no’ to the proposal to expand the Dendrobium Mine in Sydney’s water catchment. We can’t drink coal. abc.net.au/news/2022-06-1…

Some of our WMNEE members caught up at Bendemeer to discuss the election results & start planning our next steps. Our goal remains the same - to encourage democratic participation & see a meaningful connection between the people of the NE electorate and our political process.

Perhaps one of the more interesting outcomes of #election22 is that Senator-elect, Penny Allman-Payne, will be the #Greens' first elected representative based in a regional centre - significantly, the coal port of Gladstone in Central Queensland. westender.com.au/penny-allman-p…

I have kicked off discussion and clearly expressed my views on the unlawfulness of pork barrelling in the Federal domain so I welcome @nswicac’s decision to hold a forum this Friday to examine whether pork barrelling constitutes corruption under NSW law. #auspol #FederalICACNow

Congratulations to @HughesRenews for a wonderful community campaign on a shoestring. Proud of you and the ‘Voices for’ @HumansOfHughes that selected you & didn’t bow down to an ex-member who tried to bulldoze you out with help from big media and @Climate200. #HughesVotes

@ashworth_angela @brendanh @JennaPrice @steele4hughes @HughesRenews By ‘need to succeed’ we mean on local issues, ie mining under our water the intermodal and protection of habitat. We respect the confusion in the terminology.

@HumansOfHughes @brendanh @JennaPrice @steele4hughes @HughesRenews @HumansOfHughes I feel sick seeing you congratulate Jenny Ware. A representative that did nothing other than hide, block and mock as part of her campaign. Your congratulations gives her approval to continue that behaviour. So deeply disappointing from a ‘community’ group
