Last, but certainly not least, of the Independents is Eric Vadarlis, who I am pretty sure I will be getting on well with, since he is best known for his work on the Ruddock vs Vadarlis (Tampa) case. If you don’t have time to read that, suffice it to say that he is pro-refugee.
Mr Vadarlis has the slogan #supportpolicies not parties, and his website cycles through a bunch of images, which include the slogan ‘leave Medicare alone’.
Here’s his sales pitch:
I’m an Independent Candidate for the Senate 2016. Melbourne Lawyer. Dairy Farmer.
Would you prefer a voice in government for greater social justice and human compassion?
If yes, then vote policies not parties come election day on Saturday 2 July 2016.
Not a bad starting point. His three key principles are also good:
- Humane treatment of asylum seeker refugees
- A fair go for the Australian Indigenous population
- Properly fund and encourage education
