POPULARITY
The balance of power seems to be shifting in Australian politics. There was a shock U-turn in the polls ahead of the election, with Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party suddenly pulling out in front. It now seems likely the party will secure a second term. Independent Member for Warringah, Zali Steggall told Ryan Bridge confidence in major parties keeps decreasing, and there's an increased interest in independent candidates as a result. Although convention in parliament has evolved towards party politics, Steggall says the Australian constitution actually allows for a model of parliament in which legislation is tackled on its own merits.

Interview with the writer of “The Eritrean Letter Writers: Dear Mr President”, Stephany Evans Steggall“Isaias could have been a hero admired by the world and praised in Eritrea's intriguing story of leading a progressive democratic African country. Why would one who fought for that honour to be relegated to the ranks of tyrants and dictators? Resom did not know the answer to that question and neither I do.” Stephany Evans Steggall
Zali Steggall (pictured) is the independent Federal Member for Warringah, and if you visit her website you can hear the Federal Member for Fairfax, Mr Ted O'Brien, speak as he tables the Standing Committee on Environment and Energy advisory report, that incorporates dissenting reports, on the Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) Bill 2020 and the Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2020. Ms Steggall, a Sydney barrister, was elected to parliament in 2019 ending the political career of former Australian Priminister, Tony Abbott. Mr Abbott, who is known for infamously describing climate change as "crap", was, in his behaviour as the Member for Warringah, the polar opposite of Ms Steggall - he saw climate change as only in the fund-seeking imagination of climate scientists, while Ms Steggall has a Private Member's Bill before parliament calling for action on the climate crisis. She is seeking community support through her "ClimateActNow" website. Listen to Zali's good sense, sign up to support her through "ClimateActNow" and enjoy "Music for a Warming World".

On Monday, women across the nation marched, demanding justice, safety and equality. But the government's response was lacklustre, with Scott Morrisona and the Minister for Women Marise Payne refusing to go outside to the crowd. Morrison later chose his words badly when he said: "Not far from here, such marches, even now are being met with bullets, but not here in this country". Independent MP Zali Steggall described Morrison's comments as "incredibly sad" and "just stunning". A former lawyer and olympian, Steggall is currently championing two private member's bills - a proposal for a national climate change framework, and an amendment to the sex discrimination act which would allow judges, MPs, and statutory appointees to be prosecuted for sexual harassment. Steggall is disappointed in the government's response to the strong push for women's rights. "I've been quite baffled to understand the Prime Minister's response to this situation and the [rape] allegations." And she doesn't believe Payne has been much better. "I've been absolutely, really disappointed with the minister for women's response." She is somewhat more encouraged by the government's changing attitude towards climate change, noting Morrison's language has changed "dramatically" in the last 12 months. But simply saying he wants to get to net zero "as soon as possible" is not good enough, she says. "That's not the certainty that business and the private sector are looking for. They are looking for it to be legislated, and with a clear pathway."

Scott Morrison has slammed Cricket Australia's (CA) decision to omit references to Australia Day from the Big Bash League as “pretty ordinary”, saying he hoped it took note of a public backlash.The public holiday matches will now be spruiked as “January 26” games after consultation with Indigenous leaders.The change aims to make the three games more inclusive for people who regard the day as one to mourn Aboriginal lives lost.But the Prime Minister urged CA to steer clear of the culture wars. “A bit more focus on cricket, a little less focus on politics would be my message to Cricket Australia,” he told Queensland's 4RO Radio on Thursday.“I think that's pretty ordinary. But I mean, that's what they're putting on their press releases.”Mr Morrison was then told CA was already facing a backlash over the decision.“I hope they listen to that, and I think they should,” he replied.It follows independent senator Jacqui Lambie telling Today she was “wild” about the decision.“I have to ask how bloody ungrateful are people making decisions on the cricket board,” she said.“I'm not sure what they think it's going to achieve, but I'm sure it's not going to achieve anything about closing the gap.”Senator Lambie said there were “bigger things to worry about this year”, such as getting the economy going and making sure people weren't going to end up homeless because there weren't enough jobs.It comes after independent MP Zali Steggall called for Australians to observe a minute's silence on Australia Day to recognise the “price paid” by Indigenous Australians during colonisation.She said many Australians, regardless of their heritage, would appreciate the opportunity to acknowledge “loss and sorrow” as they did on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.But Multicultural Minister Alex Hawke lashed the proposal, accusing Ms Steggall of “perpetuating divisions” between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.text by Jade Gailberger and Finn McHugh, news.com.au

Zali Steggall (pictured) is the independent Member for Warringah and on May 20 was on webinar organized by The Australia Institute.She was in conversation with the institute's deputy directory, Ebony Bennett, and the director of the institute's Climate and Energy Program, Richie Merzian, about the economics of the present pandemic.Zali, who dislodged former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, from his seat, has been interviewed by Climate Conversations when still just a candidate. She has matured and gained immense poise since then.You can listen to the near hour-long conversation as recorded by the institute.
The effects of the climate crisis are clearly showing, and while our country burns, our government seems to be doing very little. Federal member for Waringah, Zali Steggall, is introducing a new bill to parliament, which will ensure Australia has a clear national response to our climate challenges. Backchat producer Eden Faithfull sat down with Steggall to find out more about the bill. Later, more and more young Australians are turning their backs on private health insurance, and many of us feel like we're not getting value for money. We're joined by Dean Price, Senior Campaigns & Policy Advisor at CHOICE, to unpack health insurance, and whether or not we really do need to be covered.

Independent MP for Warringah, Zali Steggall, is seeking bipartisan support for a climate change bill aimed at transitioning Australia to a decarbonised economy. Katharine Murphy sits down with Steggall to discuss her adjustment into politics, whether the bill can pass the upcoming conscience vote, and if modern Liberal voters are willing to embrace climate policy

The Sydney electorate of Warringah will be one of the most fascinating battlegrounds in the May election, with a high profile independent Zali Stegall challenging former prime minister Tony Abbott. Despite the seat being on about 11 per cent, Abbott describes this as a “full on marginal seat campaign”. Abbott is running hard on local issues. He says over-development and traffic congestion are the biggest issues and if reelected he is keen to use his position to be a “champion” for the Northern beaches tunnel. He’s trying to tone down his stridency, this week attempting to avoid being drawn to deeply into the row around the criminal conviction of Cardinal George Pell. Steggall, a lawyer and former Olympian, is running against Abbott on a campaign that says Warringah voters want “a new voice”. Keenly focused on climate change policy, Steggall is very critical of the government’s efforts and says even Labor’s energy policy “needs again to be toughened up.” Steggall, who grew up and lives in the electorate, has only had Abbott as an MP and has never voted Liberal nor has she had voted Labor. Pressed on who she had voted for, she told The Conversation she has mostly voted independent but “wouldn’t want to say never” to having voted Greens.
Zali Steggall ignited a whole new conversation when she nominated for the seat of Warringah that has been the exclusive property of the Liberal Party and is presently held by former Australia Prime Minister, Tony Abbott.Steggall, now a barrister, but formerly a champion alpine skier nominated her concern about climate change as one of her prime reasons for seeking election to Australia's national parliament.Had she not stood as an independent, Steggall could have easily represented the Liberals as she adheres to to many of the fundamentals of the free enterprise, market system/.Steggall appears as a wonderful alternative to the brutal denialist attitude of Tony Abbott.
Katharine Murphy talks with the Manly-raised Olympic skier and lawyer about her independent candidacy for the Sydney seat of Warringah. Steggall critiques the former PM’s conservative legacy and shares her concerns about climate change and the Adani coalmine. Can her progressive agenda pull off a Wentworth-style defeat in another traditionally Liberal electorate? Zali Steggall says Labor needs to commit to stopping Adani coalmine
