@afinno, @Lukanis78 & I are on national committee in our personal capacity,declared SP affiliation early.Both orgs shortstaffed."Interests"?

Indeed. Excited to help increase exposure of science to the masses. Tons of work to do and everyone is welcome to join in and help out.

1/ Thanks @Andrea__Leong, @afinno! As you're members of @SciencePartyAus makes your involvement with @ScienceMarchAu partisan. #marginsci

2/ Moreover leader of @SciencePartyAus, @jamesjansson was also previously involved with @ScienceMarchAu. https://twitter.com/jamesjansson/status/854205234674978816 … #marginsci

3/ While scientists being involved in politics is commendable issue here is lack of transparency for @ScienceMarchAu specifically #marginsci

4/ Like its global counterpart @ScienceMarchDC, the local @ScienceMarchAu is supposed to be non-partisan. It's clearly not. #marginsci

5/ There is no clearly signalled disclosure on conflict of interest from @SciencePartyAus members on @ScienceMarchAu website. #marginsci

6/ It should be clear to everyone that lack of public transparency on conflicts of interest go against non-partisan stance. #marginsci
