"For the first time in 7 generations, something is starting to shift"
Many people in the community have shared with us the feeling of not being heard, not being seen, by politicians.
Politics can seem like a game that's played far away in Canberra.
That's why it's so good to watch this video!
It shows how we in Forrest are part of an Australia wide movement of groups advocating for democracy, for doing politics better.
"Since Federation, Australian politics has been dominated by the major parties. Across Australia a new movement of Community-backed Independents is growing. Hear from the Independents currently in Federal Parliament, and the communities looking for better representation at the next election"
This video was shown at the CIP Convention. It features all the Community Independent MPs - and they're all cheering us on!

Produced by The Undercurrent for the Community Independents Project annual Convention.
Featuring Helen Haines, Sophie Scamps, Monique Ryan, Zoe Daniel, David Pocock, Zali Steggall, Kate Chaney, Kylea Tink & Allegra Spender.
