Listen now
Description
How on earth did all those community independents win seats in the May 2022 Election?  This ChangeMaker Chat talks to Katerina Gaita the Field Organiser and Volunteer Coordinator for Zoe Daniel’s campaign in Goldstein. She unpacks the long march of the independents, starting with Cathy McGowan winning in Indi to the ‘Wave of Teal’ in 2022. As a community organiser and community builder she explains how she learnt to translate her skills as an activist to help her design a campaign that could win a majority of votes for climate and political integrity in a conservative electorate. In doing so she challenges us all to think about the place that elections can play in changemaking.
