Margo’s twitter reports from Indi – 7 and 8 September, 2013
One of the most interesting seats in this election is without question Indi with sitting shadow frontbencher Sophie Mirabella. Margo joined the election buzz and reports on how grassroots politics is making a difference.

Sophie and Cathy set for a titanic battle # # bordermail.com.au/story/1760469/… by @NatalieKotsios

@Dusty_1, worried Sophie’s super-aggressive, negative poll posters and ad blitz may convince undecideds to go with Lib flow.
-
Am Indi Green candidate. Total lie. Retract this “@latikambourke: Hearing busloads of Greens went from Melbourne to Indi to campaign.”

Why the ban? @SMirabellaMP media rep says “these are an exceptional set of circumstances” #indivotes #auspol

No #Indivotes result tonight. 20+ percent pre-poll votes counted Monday. Too close to call. Cathy party on fire. People power!
-
@margokingston1 just my view but I had a stronger ‘vibe’ towards Cathy at pre-poll than I had today. I have a habit of being right so far
-
@adifferentdrumr, not this time – Sophie went in hard and nasty late.
-
**Labor’ #Indivotes campaign manager @McCully81L reckons Cathy’s won it! ‘The prefs have all fallen her way.’**
-
And now the music, ‘From little things, big things grow’. The crowd is singing. #Indivotes shows us how democracy can inspire us all.
