Your Independent voice in federal Parliament
The North-East has been my home for almost 40 years. My husband and I run a small farm, our kids went to school here, and I plan to grow old here.
Through my work as a nurse, midwife and health researcher, I’ve cared for people in our community during some of their most important moments. As your Independent Federal Member of Parliament, I don’t back down, and I don’t settle for less than what we deserve. I’m not beholden to a political party and call out bad decisions, no matter who made them. I fight for you and work to get results for our community, even when the going is tough.
As your Independent voice in Parliament, I work with you, and work for you.
Show your support for Helen
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with kind words and messages of support for Helen and her family. The outpouring of love has meant so much to those closest to her and to our team.
We know many people will be looking for a way to show Helen how much they care. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to consider making a donation to Save the Children Australia, whose work Helen has long been inspired by.
Thank you for giving Helen and her family the space and support they need during this time.
A track record of getting results
As an Independent I work in partnership with the community, councils, small business and local industry – to figure out what we need and how to make it happen.
Together, we’ve achieved a lot; a record number of mobile phone towers, funding for major projects, recovery from natural disasters, and more housing infrastructure. We’ve pushed to improve integrity, for better support for regional Australia and against funding cuts to essential services.
As an Independent, I vote for Indi, not a party
I always put Indi first. As an Independent, I review each bill on its individual merits in consultation with our communities to make sure the laws that are written in this nation work for us. Every vote is a conscience vote.
My opponents will try to claim otherwise, but let’s be clear: I vote for Indi 100% of the time and work hard to ensure our voices are represented every time I step into the chamber. I will never be beholden to a political party.
