Voices of Banks is a non-partisan community group who want politics to be better for the residents of the Banks electorate.
We are ordinary locals who want our representatives to truly represent us, not just the party line. We want policy to be based on evidence and compassion, not ideology and lobby groups.
We are not a political party. As a community organisation, we're guided by core values of: kindness and empathy, positivity, integrity and respect. We want to see positive change that serves the common good.
We welcome everyone that wants politics to be better to engage with us. Our core function is to listen to the issues that people care about, understand what people think makes for a good political representative and go looking for a values - aligned Community Independent if that's what our community wants. Our collective "voices" will be used to work respectfully with our elected political representatives or any future political candidates for better outcomes for our community.
We know that "Voices of" groups have been effective in other communities to getting a better standard of political representation. People are getting excited about Voices of Banks and with good reason as it represents active and constructive hope for a different and better future.
The power of "we" is revitalising our democracy across the country. Come join us!
