In 2024, Independent Lyne is beginning our search for a community-backed candidate that will genuinely represent the people and diverse communities of the Lyne electorate. Following the successful Voices For Indi model, this search will engage a broad cross-section of our community to identify the values and issues that matter to them and the kind of representative they want to advocate for Lyne in federal parliament.
