We've heard far too many stories of our criminal justice system failing both victims and offenders in Canberra. We need a forward-thinking system that reduces repeat offending and keeps our community safe. Learn more at independentsforcanberra.com/policy

We are not moving quickly enough to address family, domestic and sexual violence in the ACT. It’s time for real action & a long-term commitment to the safety of women & children across our community. Fearful people who need our help are being turned away. independentsforcanberra.com/policy

Do you want more of the same or are you ready to vote for change? We haven’t elected an independent to the ACT Legislative Assembly in 26 years. It’s time to break the drought. A vote for any of the three major parties is a vote for the status quo, where ‘the optics’ are

Our campaign launch at the Old Canberra Inn last Friday was a great night. Honest speeches from Tanya Keed, David Pocock & @EmersonACT. Fantastic live music from Bec Taylor, Monica Moore & Moondog. 150+ people in a room full of excitement. 5 weeks to go! It's time for change.

Do you believe in a fair society? One of the things I’ve been struck by speaking with people in my electorate is how much they care about others. Regardless of how well they’re doing for themselves, people are invested in those who aren’t doing so well. Canberrans wants our city

Today we at Independents for Canberra are announcing our commitment to making the ACT the first jurisdiction in Australia to introduce a Future Generations Act. The climate, housing and cost-of-living crises are combining to present the next generation with a future coloured by hopelessness.

Today we are one month out from the 2024 ACT Election. This is the most coordinated independent effort the territory has ever seen.  We've mobilised fantastic Independents for Canberra candidates all across Canberra, giving you a compelling independent option to vote for no matter where you

Our Future Generations Act would fundamentally change the way we develop and implement policy in the ACT. This level of support means a lot from former independent MLA @mmoore50 who served four terms as an indie & became health minister in his final term. citynews.com.au/2024/emerson-s…

An independent cross bench will hold the government to account, ensuring decisions are made in our community’s best interests and applying pressure for good ideas to be implemented - quickly - and bad ideas to be discarded. Learn more at independentsforcanberra.com/policy Independents for Canberra

We believe in a fair society that takes care of its most vulnerable community members. 9,000 Canberran children live below the poverty line. It’s time to tackle disadvantage in our city. It’s time for change. 👉 independentsforcanberra.com/policy Independents for Canberra

Today's the day. We can choose representatives who are there not because they've been elevated by a few powerful hands behind closed doors, but because they've been put there directly by the community - MLAs who are answerable only to the people they've been elected to represent.
