IN FULL: Zali Steggall, Adam Bandt, Rex Patrick and Craig Kelly, '2022 Cross Bench', at the NPC

The NPC is hosting a forum that allows voters to understand the role and positions of the cross bench in the House of Representatives where the government is formed.

We have invited all the current cross bench to attend.

The format hosted by Laura Tingle President of the NPC proposal will a series of questions to the panel which they will each member get 90 seconds to answer.

The questions will aim to address some high profile issues – whether or not they are relevant to who forms government, for example, on the minimum wage case, hospital funding etc. – and questions which may influence how crossbenches may decide who gains their support for supply and confidence in the case of a hung parliament.

Each member of the panel will be given 90 seconds to give finishing statements in which they can flesh out any policy issues on their platforms, or comment on or respond to comments made by other panelists.

Craig Kelly is the only one that would have my vote.

Love or hate him, Craig Kelly is the only one on this panel who actually says something with substance.

over 40 years of watching politics I am yet to see independents consistently create good results, but not saying they are not worth something. Certainly Independents send a message to major parties.
