Rebekha Sharkie (@MakeMayoMatter<\/a>) of Centre Alliance (then Nick Xenophon Team) won the seat of Mayo in 2016 when she defeated her former boss, Jamie Briggs.
Sharkie resigned from Parliament due to eligibility issues after a High Court ruling went against Labor’s Katy Gallagher.
At the 2018 by-election that followed, Sharkie defeated a member of Australia’s most (in)famous political dynasties, Georgina Downer.
Downer is again contesting the seat and has already made headlines after handing the recipients of a government grant a huge cheque<\/a> with her name on it, at a ceremony the current Member was excluded from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if there was a climate emergency and the major party’s didn’t turn up? If you listen to many in mainstream media – what climate election? But they’re dead wrong. The Coalition and Labor Party failed to turn up – others didn’t and won victories or made strong inroads into the Coalition primary vote – […]<\/p>\n

Rebekha Sharkie (@MakeMayoMatter) was so committed to the opportunity to represent the electorate of Mayo that she took the bold move to take out a second mortgage on her house and quit her job. Thankfully, the story ended well and her dedication to the community was rewarded with a large swing that secured her the […]<\/p>\n

I wonder whether the ordinary voter is not becoming sick and tired of the vested interests which unduly influence the present political parties and yearn for the emergence of a third political force representing middle of the road policies which would owe allegiance to no outside pressure group.

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\u2019t do it. Ready to play? #ausvotes \u2014 Margo Kingston (@margokingston1) February 22, 2019 Hi.
