Voices of Deakin

Hi VoD community, I'm excited to say that there is a Young Independents Project (YIP) taking off.

Running a group like this is not possible without financial support - if you can afford a small donation, I'm sure they'd really appreciate it enormously - if you can't afford a donation helping to spread the word is just as good.

This should be a great event!

Join Konrad Benjamin (Punters Politics) and Carrick Ryan for an honest, entertaining conversation about who's really calling the shots in Australia.

With our state candidates now endorsed, Voices of Deakin goes into hiatus until after the election (3 August until 1 December 2026).
Although our state work is finished, we'll be working in the background on a new federal survey and flyers, Maroondah Festival and Whitehorse Festival – where you'll see us in a brand-new t-shirt colour!
Thanks to all for their support!

Community Independents succeed firstly by listening to the community that they represent ie their electorate, not a political party but the people who voted for them. That is one of their defining characteristics ie they listen. And another is that they give voice to the matters of concern to their community. Here is a great example from Allegra Spender doing just that - listening and giving voice in a positive way about what makes Australia a great place to live (and migrate to). https://www.facebook.com/reel/910283734800190/?fs=e&fs=e

This is the power of Community Independents at work, representing their own community’s interests and teaming up on issues of common concern.

And look at the quality - a former Australian Wallabies Captain plus a successful business consultant, corporate executive and lawyer plus a celebrated professor and neurologist. Not a bad team, hey?

These are true community leaders and they represent a real alternative for voters that have the major parties worried.

Why? Because they do politics differently - is that what you are looking for?

This is the power of Community Independents in action - the bridge to needed improvements by working with government to make it happen or make it better: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1055936316945391&id=100075870977559
