Nicolette Boele, Independent for Bradfield
When Nicolette Boele, a finance, clean energy and responsible investment expert, first ran as an independent candidate in 2022, she saw the biggest swing against the Liberal Party of all the community independent candidates. When she led the local campaign to support an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in 2023, Bradfield was the only Liberal seat to vote ‘yes.’ Nicolette is running again, and building an even bigger and more energetic movement of community supporters.

Kate Hook, Independent for Calare
Kate Hook is a small farmer, who has also helped set up a locally-owned renewable energy co-operative. She has spent the last two years helping communities across NSW advocate for their needs with renewable energy projects. She first ran as an independent in 2022 because she was asked to step up and was overwhelmed by the community’s support – coming second against the National Party incumbent. She’s campaigning again on her values: a community that is connected and thriving, a transition away from fossil fuels, decent funding for essential workers, and more honesty in politics.
