I know it's the middle of an election campaign and things are busy, but I fear the government's rather insipid reactions to Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank may lead to seats being lost by the ALP in areas like Western Sydney. I'd rather the seats be held by the ALP rather than an Independent, who can be an unpredictable voice for an electorate. Disclaimer: I proudly voted for an Independent Senator for the ACT and will do so again in early May. David Pocock is progressive with his politics and has yet to hold a view I don't wholeheartedly support. Plus he's doing a fantastic job in the Senate.
