I’ll do this by:

Strengthening the National Anti Corruption Commission: With public hearings on serious cases, expanded powers to investigate across the federal public service and strong whistleblower protections for those who come forward to report wrongdoing.

Shining a light on corporate influence: By making ministers' diaries public as is done in NSW and QLD, and requiring all political contributions by corporations and all cash-for-access payments to be disclosed, regardless of size. Donations should be disclosed in real-time, including weekly during campaigns.  

Politicians should serve people, not parties or corporations. I’m running as a regional Independent—just like Helen Haines did in Indi in regional Victoria. That means I was chosen by a diverse group of people from across the Lyne electorate, following broad community consultation. So far, two-thirds of our campaign funding has come from local supporters and others who believe in the power of a strong, Independent voice. The remaining one-third has come from Climate 200, a crowdfunding organisation that backs community Independents. Every dollar has been given freely—with no strings attached. We’re proud to be transparent about where our funding comes from, and we encourage all candidates to do the same.
