Anthony Pesec’s (@AnthonyPesec) running for the ACT Senate where Senator, Zed Seselja must re-contest his seat.
On his website Pesec says: “I believe strongly in tackling the big issues of our time like climate change whilst also giving Canberra the real voice that it deserves in the Australian Senate”.
Labor’s Senator, David Smith (@SenDaveSmith) must also re-contest his seat.
Smith replaced Katy Gallagher after the High Court ruling she was ineligible to sit.
They Vote For You website assessed, Seselja “voted strongly against treating government action on climate change as a matter of urgency“.
Despite a pledge to honour the results of the same sex marriage plebiscite saying on Facebook “If the people vote yes, I will vote yes”, Seselja was absent for the historic vote in Parliament.

Many people have asked me why as a lifelong, loyal Liberal, I am chairing the campaign of Anthony Pesec, an Independent candidate for the Australian Senate in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

Shouting at the television and planting gardens: #ActiveDemocracy stories by @adropex

What do shouting at the television and gardening have in common? From little things big things have grown. Gather ’round people, let me tell you a story… or two.

The @NoFibs #IndependentsDay Twitter mission at #ausvotes: @margokingston1 comments

The way I see it, every safe Coalition seat must be in play in the sense that quality indies ask tough questions incumbents are forced to answer. That requires courageous indies & committed, creative citizens because a weakened local media can’t do it. Ready to play? #ausvotes — Margo Kingston (@margokingston1) February 22, 2019 Hi. […]
