10/ Nowhere is COI publicly stated on @ScienceMarchAu. Major problem of transparency. Goes against non-partisan @ScienceMarchDC. #marginsci

Non partisan does not mean not political. It means not favouring a particular party. Important distinction.

4 of 5 @SciencePartyAus members involved with @ScienceMarchAu are political candidates. 3 of 5 are on your party executive. #marginsci

This means the @ScienceMarchAu *absolutely* favours one political party: yours, @SciencePartyAus. #marginsci

Isn't a march for science always going to favour a political party called "Science Party" whether they're organisers or not?

That's not what's being pointed out here. It's been deliberately deceptive and politically motivated since the outset

There are members of at least 3 other political parties on the committee, that I know of. Science Party members abstain from many decisions.

Disclosure of perceived conflicts of interest surely something central in both science and politics??
