Impressive- surround yourself with trustworthy, astute advisors. The biggest risk is you losing your antenna because of the noise of others. All the best!

Hi Mark,

I’m a registered SA voter & believe I will happily be prepared to nominate you. I would prefer to meet with you before filing out the form though as I believe I can more easily gauge the truth of your political convictions in person. My nomination will of course come with my full support both here & on X.

QUESTION REG. FORM ... do we need to write down your middle name too? (if you have one). By what date do you need to receive them back? I will try to get others to sign on. Olga

Oh, hey, Olga, I did not know you were in SA.

The form needs to be completed to reflect your details on the electoral roll

You can check your details here - https://check.aec.gov.au/

I was asking about info in top box about you ... do we need to write down your middle name (if you have one)? Also, the date you need them by.

I'm aiming for ASAP, but have asked ECSA to clarify closing date for nominations.

Just a suggestion from past experience ... might be worth sending another correspondence to state that those nomination forms are needed ASAP and actual deadline would be even better. Not everybody thinks of acting quickly and some people might be busy, but if they know the deadline they will find the time to do it now if they want to see you representing us. Once You have a deadline, I will reshare this again to make things happen.

Thank you, Olga.

Absolutely, as soon as I get confirmation from ECSA, I'll provide an updated post.

Some people are also asking if they can nominate even though they are member of a political party, so I've asked for confirmation of this as well.

As they say, few heads are always better than one. Couple of months ago I joined People First (my first ever party membership), so I would need to know this too.

Go for it Mark! Keep True to Your Intented Goals and:

Ignore the Snake Oil Sales People

Never Be Stucked Into the Vortex of Any Psychological Operation

Never Be Compromised by A Thought To Be Honest Colleague

Never Lose Sight of Altruistic Values

Never Devalue Yourself or Compromise Yourself for Others (I learnt that the Hard Way)

Do Everything to Encompass & Spend Time With Your Family (I learnt that the Hard Way)

Always Make Quiet Time for Yourself to Reflect (I learnt that the Hard Way)

I Agree, that Deep Down Within All of Your Might & Integrity, You Are Aiming to Make A Difference for Your Fellow South Australians.

I Sincerely Wish You Well and Strong.

Kind Regards

JacqNSW

Wonderful news, Mark! Thank you.

That's it, I'm moving to SA.

In the interim, if you need any admin, marketing, general dog's body work, I'm here.

God Speed, my friend!

Thank you so much.

You could do a lot worse than moving to SA.

Regardless of the inept and unaccountable government, being originally from Sydney, SA really is a great state.

Congrats Mark.

You are a worthy Candidate (independent) to run in the 2026 SA State Election. I'd support you if I lived in SA or perhaps a One Nation Candidate - provided they stay with the party and don't 'jump ship'.

Hope you get the 250 Nominators, plus election campaign finance, helpful volunteers and good media coverage. Onya.

Thank you.

I'm certainly not underestimating what I'll be up against.

But it's better than doing nothing.

As the saying goes 'be the change you want to see'
