We have a principled politician in David Shoebridge consistently showing strong leadership, an unprincipled politician in Albanese consistently showing no leadership, an unprincipled disparate mob headed by Poorlene being led by a billionaire & extreme RW organisations – gee, who should we vote for?

I increasingly feel that Shoebridge is a test for #Auspol that we haven't become too jaded that we can't recognise sincerity in politicians anymore. We see it in this guy and the Independents but not in partisan pollies. I hope we pass the test. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Move over, Hanson — Labor has a new thorn in its side
