    First - I must state I am not in Indi so my knowledge comes from news services, also I have seen Cathy McGowan's performance in Question Time over years and she seems to be a forthright local member but we can all get too long in the tooth.Watching mucho ABC TV news of this presented as "Cathy McGowan passing the baton" had me thinking that Ms McGowan was making a great effort to present this as "she decided it was time and is using the ABC news facilities to annoint her brilliant successor".

    Then I read that a "Voices 4 Indi community group" (V4I) had held a meeting of a coupla hundred and decided on a new candidate.Helen Haines ready to take 'baton' from Cathy McGowan

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-14/helen-haines-ready-to-take-baton-from-cathy-mcgowan/10713544Independent candidate for Indi Helen Haines said she felt "enormous gratitude" to the Voices 4 Indi community group which had backed her as a candidate to replace Cathy McGowan.

    I listened to the video of Dr Haines - so she is "bringing her mind" and wants to "have a conversation". If I was an Indi voter I heard nothing to help make my mind up. Plenty of time yet before the campaign starts.https://voicesforindi.com/home/V4I looks to operate a bit like a political party.
