THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
- Please DONATE and support Australian democracy
- Please DONATE and help change political fundraising
- Please DONATE and help Bradfield lead the way
Please consider donating to our campaign to elect Nicolette Boele as the next federal representative for Bradfield. Any amount is welcome.
If only a fraction of the 20,000 plus people who wanted an independent at the last election each donated $300 for the upcoming election, we shift the power of political campaigns from vested interests back to citizens. We can have a fundraising campaign that is fair, transparent and has integrity.
Representatives are in the constitution – parties are not.
In 2022, Bradfield became a marginal seat for the first time in its long history. We believe this demonstrates that the people of Bradfield are tired of being taken for granted, and tired of party politics. And we believe that the best person to bring us change, when next we vote, is the person who came a very close second in that election, Nicolette Boele.
So we want to try something new in Australia, establishing a candidature for a federal electorate before the election is called. It is a starting point for Nicolette to discover more about our community, so that she can give the people of Bradfield a voice that is heard in Canberra, unfiltered by party machinations and secret coalition deals.
When Nicolette is elected, she will know - with complete certainty - what you value and what you want to see done. Your donation will help us make that a reality.
This is an exciting time to try new things in Bradfield, and Nicolette is willing to do them with you. Democracy isn't free and we want to make it better.
