What’s happening in Casey? @abcnewsbot.bsky.social ‘looking fairly tight’. Watch this space! #claireferresmiles #clairefm

If you vote for the Liberal Party this is everything that will be axed - from their costings released yesterday.

I am calling out this appalling gendered signage endorsed by Manny Cicchiello Liberal Party for Aston (neighbour to Casey). I asked Manny today if he would remove these signs but he refused to talk with me. It is an indictment on the Liberal Party that they support these signs being displayed.

Good to know that the Liberal Party again and again tell us petrol is more important than 51% of the population. Vote 1 Independent #claireferresmiles

❤️Triple R ❤️@davegraney.bsky.social Listen TODAY

Dutton says the quiet bit out loud...again #auspol "We can't afford to see negative gearing abolition, which would impact a lot of wealthy people in Canberra who have negative-geared properties."

Will your vote help others? #claireferresmiles

A happy face on a happy face 🙂 Lucky we have metal signs so turpentine is the go-to to remove spray paint 🩵 #claireFM #claireferresmiles #claire4casey

Who supports regional and rural Australia - the Independents!

This is an affront to every public servant in Australia. As a former public servant I celebrate the role of the public service to provide frank and fearless advice. Those that breach the Code of Conduct must be held to account and not able to return. Our values are shown by who we associate with.

Looking for clear evidence the major parties make decisions for vested interests and donors - this is it. 86% of Australian support a ban on gambling advertising, online grooming of our kids. 1/2 www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

I’m not a scientist but here in Casey we are living with more frequent and more extreme storms, floods, landslips and fires. It’s 2025 and our climate has changed. www.instagram.com/reel/DIidv-E...

Herald Sun 17 April - Casey the only Liberal seat in Victoria ‘too close to call’. The work continues…. www.heraldsun.com.au/news/nationa...

Curious - have you received a letter addressed to the women of the house? Perhaps the Liberal Party doesn’t realise there is a voting cohort called women. In fact we make up 51% of the population. 👀

Casey poll in the Herald Sun today - yes Independent is purple. We are in the win zone!!!! Every vote counts. Start a conversation. #claireferresmiles

The Liberal Party has scored 1 out of 100 for their environment and climate policies. We can do better, we can Vote 1 Independent, the better choice for Casey. #claireferresmiles www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The AEC ballot draw is about to happen. Even the chairs are our campaign color. Perhaps a lucky charm? #claire4casey

It's 2025 and yet we're still drawing male anatomy on a female face, horns, fangs, witch teeth, hitler mo, b**th and sl*t. This is not OK. Let's lift the standard we accept, call out misogyny and be better. Democracy is respecting all candidates. #claireFM #claireferresmiles #claire4casey

Australians don’t trust politicians and elections are asking voters for their trust. The 1st flyer received from our federal MP Aaron Violi was a data harvesting form designed to deceive us. A targeted scam to get personal details. This behaviour is dishonest and unethical. 1/2

Yep the federal government receives more money from beer than from fossil fuel companies, and the PRRT is forecast to decline! Wish this was a joke but it’s not April Fools Day. We have lost billions of sovereign wealth. In 2025 we must increase the PRRT - Vote 1 Independent. #claire4casey

It’s official - I am a candidate for the federal electorate of Casey. AEC Nomination Form accepted. Thank you to the 150 people that signed my form. Casey has been represented by the Liberal Party for 52 years - let’s make history together in 2025 #claireferresmiles #claire4casey #claireFM

This election Gen Z & millennial voters are the largest voting block… but they don’t trust government to act on the issues they care about. We need more Community Independents in Canberra that have courage to stand up and be the voice for Gen Z and Millennial voters. 1/2

@davidpocock.bsky.social in easy english

Thanks @bartonez.bsky.social. Working hard listening to our community and writing policies on the issues people care about and what action on.

3 is my favourite number - and we have 36 days to Saturday 3 May. Bring on the 2025 Federal election. Our community in Casey is ready for change. Vote 1 Independent. #claireferresmiles #claireFM

Voices 4 Casey wants to hear from you. How is climate change impacting you and what is the one thing you believe the government can do to significantly address the causes and impacts of climate change. Their 3rd Pulse Survey is live - click here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/c4c_CC_soc...

Tonight the Labor and Liberal Parties voted to weaken not strengthen the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. This decision removes the legal right of the public to request reconsideration of past approvals in the event of fresh evidence. 1/3

Looking for pain relief from the major parties - check me out. My policies are the issues raised with me by our community, in person or from completing a community survey. My policy page is updated every week on my website. How do I write my policies? Five steps. A thread. 1/4

Thanks @kerrinwallace.bsky.social for your support

This is a brilliant interview - well done Sally Sara @profterryhughes.bsky.social @pollyjhemming.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Casey businesses this is for you!

Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads. 87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job. Sign and share > theaus.in/TIPApetition

Watch and Act Kilsyth and Montrose - please stay close to the VIC Emergency App as conditions may change quickly. Bushfire not yet under control.

Looking forward to discussing #housing, intergenerational equity and the upcoming #auspol #election on March 27 with the amazing Nicole Gurran and @shaunratcliff.bsky.social. Perfect first outing with Macquarie's Centre for Housing and Urban Research events.humanitix.com/the-housing-...

Very happy to be a green light for climate! Thanks Vote Climate One

Do you have someone in your life who is a new voter and not yet on the electoral roll? Today is the day to send them this link #auspol > www.aec.gov.au/enrol/

A Community Independent is powered by community volunteers who turn up each and every day with hope and positivity that our government can be better. #claire4casey #clairefm

The dark art of pumping out lies for votes becomes a corrosive superpower at election time. And the Teals are the first in the firing line. thepolitics.com.au/lies-damned-...

Need convincing that renewables is the right path? Globally solar installations 100x that for nuclear. The Liberal Party nuclear proposal is a distraction - too slow, too expensive and a 2 billion tonne emissions cherry on top to complete the illusion. It’s bad public policy. #claire4casey #claireFM

👏'And in Queensland, Suzie Holt will try again for the seat of Groom. Previously a very safe Liberal seat, there was a 13.65% swing against the party in 2022.' @suzieholt4groom.bsky.social @fmols.bsky.social theconversation.com/independents...

hundreds of staff working on political campaigns are funded by taxpayers. if you are an independent challenger you have to fundraise for similar staffing. major party campaigns are majorly funded by *you*. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Behind the scenes, day in the life of a Community Independent candidate. Zoom call on top of the camp fridge. #claire4casey #claireFM

Happy International Women's Day! In 2025 let's celebrate flexible working arrangements - good for families and great for the economy. #claire4casey #claireFM

Big Gas gets more than half of our gas for free. Big Gas is taking the piss.

The Liberal Party needs to be reminded we are not living in the 1950s. In 2025 flexibility is for families not for women. Flexibility is for rural electorates like Casey with the lowest number of childcare places in Victoria. Flexibility = productivity = economic empowerment = social inclusion.

I have listened and heard and will represent the people of Casey who stand against genocide. Check out my policy here: www.claireferresmiles.com/policies

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Community Independents live in their electorate, they actively listen to amplify the community's many voices on the issues we care about. The community sets the policy, sets the expectations. Democracy is not a spectator sport, this election I invite you to get on the field. #claire4casey #claireFM
