ā š£Margo Kingstonš§š„ (@margokingston1) November 27, 2021
Her speech a call for liberalism to have a powerful voice in Canberra again – she crushes Sharmaās claim sheās a front for radicals. https://t.co/C9BBBUXXP8 pic.twitter.com/tZEZVinwax
1832. A @VoicesWentworth thread on @spenderallegraās #WentworthVotes campaign launch today – includes a link to a video of her speech. Liberalism lives! Climate change action, a strong federal integrity commission, Aboriginal Constitutional recognition, compassion for refugees. https://t.co/blVIoZdTJM

1056. No wonder there was wind & rain! @spenderallegraās launch was on anniversary of @drkerrynphelpsā 1st speech to Parliament as #IndependentsDay MP for #WentworthVotes, Kerryn kept most of her massive by-election swing at #ausvotes, making it marginal. A crucial springboard. https://t.co/B8UExYYfUC
