Flinders University Associate Lecturer Josh Sunman says the formation of Community Strong Australia “comes with risk” for Teal independents Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender. ​“It is really interesting, we have often seen the Teal independents described as having party-like structures, in that they are Independents, but at the same time they are affiliated,” Mr Sunman told Sky News Australia. ​“Part of their brand is that they're seen as staunchly independent advocates for their community, and by becoming a bit more party-like, I think it could potentially hurt their independent brand.”
