Congratulations Voices for Mallee on all your kitchen table conversations across our broad and diverse electorate of Mallee. This report is an invaluable snapshot of our people at this moment in time, the leadup to the federal election 2022.
Integrity, health and action on climate are just some of the things that align with my values and platform in this election campaign. Our rural communities have spoken and their voice can be heard through the needs expressed, everything from infrastructure and connectivity to renewables and jobs through innovative industry are positive pathways forward to future proofing Mallee now, and for generations to come.
Vote 1 Claudia Haenel Independent for Mallee for our voices to be heard in Federal Parliament.

I want to firstly thank the Voices For Mallee group for conducting such a thorough and comprehensive report in the lead up to the 2022 Federal Election. The detail provided in the report is immense and incredibly well laid out. You should all be very proud. I also want to thank those that engaged in the ”‘Kitchen Table Conversations” that helped to form this document.
I have responded to each heading below with both Greens policy, and details of my personal experiences to help provide an insight into why I think you should vote Greens at the coming election.
