Cr Johnston makes some mention of actions the federal Albanese Government is taking to block the appointment of minor parties and independents to important committees, with both the ALP and LNP apparently claiming that this is necessary because independent and minor party MPs are simply "not up to it". I would love to know more about this because it is incredibly disappointing if true, but I can't find anything about it in my quick Google search.

She brings this up to compare with what the LNP is doing in Council with regards to her appointment to committees, as part of a big committee shake-up the LNP has brought today without any consultation with the independent, Greens, or Labor councillors.
