About us
Voices of Fisher (VoF) is a group of volunteers from across the Fisher electorate on the southern Sunshine Coast. We share concern about the state of our politics and eroding public trust in our democracy. VoF core team came together in March 2024 and began listening to the Fisher community using Kitchen Table Conversations, surveys and community meetings. We engaged with and learnt from the Community Independents Project. The VoF Community Listening Report "Fisher Speaks" was released in September 2024 at an event jointly hosted by Fairfax Matters and attended by 200 people featuring Independent Federal MP Zali Steggall as the keynote speaker. We are currently seeking an outstanding individual to stand as a community backed independent MP in the 2025 Federal election.

🌞 Do you believe the Sunshine Coast deserves better representation in politics? 🌞 Transparency and honesty in politics are non-negotiable for our community. Independent MP Zali Steggall said it best: "Trust is the glue which keeps society together, the glue that builds alliances and partnerships, and yet it has fallen to an all-time low in Australia....trust in politicians is at 10 percent – State and Federal alike. This is hardly surprising." The Sunshine Coast is a vibrant, caring community that deserves leaders who listen, engage, and act with integrity. Yet trust in our political systems has eroded, leaving many feeling unheard and disillusioned. That's why Voices of Fisher is searching for a candidate who will truly represent the people of Fisher—someone who listens to community concerns and makes decisions based on what’s best for us all. Could that be you? We’re looking for someone who: ✅ Values honesty and integrity. ✅ Believes in open, transparent decision-making. ✅ Has the passion to represent and unite our community. If you’ve ever thought about stepping up to create real change, this is your moment. Let’s restore trust and build a brighter future for Fisher together. Interested? Let us know or share this with someone you think could be the leader we need. 🌟 https://lnkd.in/gmD2PCv3 #VoicesOfFisher #SunshineCoast #IntegrityInPolitics #CommunityLeadership

🚨Proposed Electoral Reforms🚨 This week, the government is proposing changes to Australia’s electoral system that could significantly impact how political campaigns are funded. Political parties could receive $5 of taxpayer money for every vote they secure—allegedly to reduce reliance on big private donations. At face value, it sounds like a step towards fairness and transparency. But dig a little deeper, and concerns start to emerge. 💲 Donation Caps: Are there meaningful limits on private donations, and how are they enforced? 💲 Public Funding: How would taxpayer funds be allocated, and what would they be used for? 💲 Transparency: Does the reform increase disclosure of who is funding campaigns? 💲 Impact on Smaller Parties: Would this level the playing field or entrench major party dominance? https://lnkd.in/gmD2PCv3 #candidatesearch #sunshinecoastcommunity #honestyinpolitics
Our democracy is being tested right now 😮 .

With the tense atmosphere surrounding the US election, we’re reminded how fragile democracy is. Right now, we have a chance in Australia to push for better transparency and integrity in politics. Today in Parliament I’ll be asking a question about donation disclosure, to ensure our next federal election is transparent. #AusPol #TransparencyInPolitics #KateChaney #USElection #Curtin #CurtinIndependent
