I think Mackellar is a sleeper seat<\/p>Alice Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

People just don’t know where to place me: I am taking instructions from the Turnbull family; I’m a Labor hack; I’m a Greenie in disguise \u2014 does that make me brown or maybe I’m just in the middle?<\/p>Alice Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The reason why [the independents] are collaborating on those issues wasn’t to be a party, but we’re representing what our local constituents are interested in, and that happens to be the same thing, and that isn’t being well served. That is what unites us, we were doing our jobs \u2014 representing and pushing this through, and to show that through collaboration we could be a strong force and a constructive force in parliament.<\/p>Alice Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Alice discusses her concerns about recent NSW elections, and the potential for errors due to the differences in voting rules between the state and federal elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice spoke about the recent event with Tim Flannery, author of The Future Eaters<\/em>, <\/a>where they discussed extinction and why this matters for our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot of momentum over the last couple of weeks and more volunteers are putting their hands up every day.<\/p>Alice Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I think they are coming forward because I think they can see substance.<\/p>Alice Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Alice talked about the fact that running for this election has forced her into the community, and out of her day-to-day routine and balancing act of being a working mother;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s more my home than it’s ever been before.<\/p>Alice Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
