IN THIS EPISODE Margo Kingston chats with, Denise Shrivell and Kristen Lock who are co-founders of North Sydney’s Independent created to find Kylea Tink, the now independent Member for North Sydney in the Federal Parliament.

The group was formed after Voices of North Sydney decided they were not going to seek a candidate for the 2022 federal election.

The way I think about Voices of North Sydney is they’re the cats whiskers into the community.

Denise Shrivell

North Sydney’s Independent is now seeking a candidate to contest the state seat of Lane Cove in the upcoming NSW election.

Denise Shrivell

Denise Shrivell hosts SpinProof podcast and is a former media buyer.

You’re quite right, The Australian did come after me partly because I suggested to advertisers perhaps they shouldn’t be supporting hate speech … … I was called a corporate terrorist in the Senate.

Denise Shrivell

Kristen Lock is a former Young Liberal and worked for Bill Heffernan during her university holidays.

When did you rust off, Kristen?

Margo Kingston
