Voices for Canberra is a volunteer not-for-profit group aiming to endorse a Community Independent candidate for the federal electorate of Canberra. We are your neighbours, the people you see at the local shops, at the school gate, and around the neighbourhood. We want better representation in the federal electorate of Canberra. We want to make the electorate of Canberra a champion of Australian politics, where our candidate genuinely represents the aspirations and priorities of the community.

Modelling from RedBridge and Accent a year out from the likely date of the next federal election indicates the result is equally likely to be a Labor majority or a Labor minority government, with almost no chance of a Coalition government.

Labor majority means more of the same, while Labor minority could see the cross-bench of Independents and minor parties start to turn things around.

For us in the ‘safe’ electorate of Canberra, there is a very simple conclusion. A vote for a Labor, Liberal or Greens candidate will result in the re-election of a Labor MP and more of the same. The only way to make a difference will be to support and vote for a strong Community Independent.

So, if you’re interested in better representation in the federal electorate of Canberra, please join our mailing list and get involved and tell your friends.
