A beautiful long weekend for Easter on the stunning Sunshine Coast. The sun stayed out longer than we have seen in a while. So proud of all the team that keep this show on the road. Tomorrow pre-polling starts and we are ready to take on the big parties. Change starts now.

A big week: two Meet the Candidate forums.
Trumpets of Patriots were a no show at both events.
What I did hear from the major parties was the same old rhetoric.
Nothing changes unless we make the change at the ballot box. #voteindependent #auspol

If you are around Alex Surf Club on Monday - pop by and say Hi. We will be in the park enjoying the long weekend and the sun (hopefully).

Completely misleading. Climate 200 has no influence on the #independents other than a shared concern for the environment. And their contribution is only a fraction of Indy campaign money and only offered when the candidate has already reached a considerable level of community support. #auspol

These are very reasonable questions that all Australians should know to answer to.

The real question is - why is the press gallery incapable of asking them - so it’s left to citizens? #auspol

No doubt they planned it that way as they were scared of the truth bombs at the National Press Club.

The Sunshine Coast is ready for change. The Fairfax community is sick of being a safe seat and missing out.

bro - keep up on current events in Australia.
