We are interested in finding two good community people to stand as Independent candidates in next year’s federal election, in the seats of Monash and Gippsland.
Our website and participation forms are at www.sensiblecentre.org.au/monashgippsland/
We are focused on Monash and Gippsland as neighbouring electorates, with similar demographics and common challenges. The Latrobe Valley with its energy, mining and industrial profile sits in the middle of our region, surrounded by rural and agricultural communities. For this reason, we are inviting people from both electorates to join together in searching for good candidates to support.
Our focus is Community Representation in Monash and Gippsland.
We want to represent all the people in our region. We want to bring people together across the old divisions of rural and industrial, conservative and progressive, young and old, to strengthen our communities. And we want to find local people who can bring people together and unite us.
- Climate change is an important issue and we want practical solutions.
- Our social fabric is facing stresses from all directions.
- Families face intense pressures in raising kids and in dealing with mental health, education, housing and employment challenges.
- Government agencies are often impersonal and unresponsive when you really need them.
- Corruption and unethical behaviour seem to flow out of Canberra like mountain streams.
We want hundreds of people involved, so please fill in the form on the web page and send it through. You have options there for how you might want to be involved.
- Complete this form to become a member.
- Complete this form to become a Community Preselector or Community Commissioner.
We are not a left-wing group, nor a right-wing group. We want a very broad range of people to become involved in getting real community representation for our region.
We look forward to hearing from you.
