I’ll be standing as an independent candidate for Hinkler at the Federal Election. The Bundaberg and Fraser Coast regions have been taken for granted and we need positive change. #HinklerVotes #auspol #AusPol2022 pic.twitter.com/GdIvC9b8Fw

Qld LNP MP for Hinkler, Keith Pitt, fighting for the cashless welfare card which he instigated in his electorate. This seat encompasses the people of Hervey Bay. They just chucked the LNP out of the state seat returning it to Labor for the first time since 2006. #qldpol #auspol pic.twitter.com/NdA9vWbCuR

As an independent, I’ll represent the community’s view, even when it diverges from my own. Keith Pitt was one of only four MPs who voted against marriage equality, despite #HinklerVotes being in favour. I’ll be the Member for Hinkler, not the Member against Hinkler. #auspol pic.twitter.com/weLGghePa5
