The electorates have been held by Labor for decades along with other safe western Sydney seats the party relies on at federal polls. The first high-profile independent was due to be announced later this week, the Muslim Vote said on Tuesday. A second candidate was to be revealed early next week. Hawila said the federal government should be “very concerned” about the movement’s potential to energise voters who may have turned against Labor.
