Voices of Farrer are a group of passionate Farrer locals who want to improve our democracy. We feel that our voices are not being heard and our diverse views not well represented in Federal Parliament.
We are not a political party. We are a non-partisan community group, who share many and varied views on issues. Yet we agree on the idea of a movement where the people of Farrer are engaged on matters that impact us.
Together we aim to build a movement and nominate an independent candidate to stand as our representative, who will consult with and represent the people of Farrer as a priority, before allegiance to any political party.
We keep hearing from people across Farrer who want to see greater respect, transparency and collaboration, as well as integrity and accountability in our political system. Our communities have told us that:
- Farrer is not well served by its status as a ‘safe seat' (low investment, low priority)
- they are dissatisfied with the oppositional approach of two-party politics
- they have a desire to see more community involvement and consultation in decision making
- they are seeking a values-driven type of representation, that puts the interests of the electorate and the good of Australia, ahead of party and party-donor interests
- they want evidence-based decision making, relying on reputable sources.
Be part of the conversation by joining up today and tell us more about you and what's important in your community.
