Support your independent voice in Canberra
As a community independent, Allegra doesn’t receive funding from a political party, nor have access to party head office resources. The strength of being an Independent is deciding how to vote on every Bill, to best represent the views of the community, without direction from a controlling party. This means that every piece of legislation must be carefully scrutinised by Allegra’s team.
Allegra’s campaign was built on the engagement of, and support from, the Wentworth community and we are asking you to continue this support.
Your donation will help us build capacity in the Parliamentary Team as well as the Electoral Office, allowing us to:
- Give all legislation the consideration it deserves to ensure Allegra’s vote represents your views
- Provide the resources for the team to improve proposed legislation with important amendments
- Allow our constituent liaison team to help more people in the community, faster
- Support our community initiatives such as our Climate Summit 'Powering Wentworth to Net Zero', our Housing Forums and our Body Image Forum
Donations are tax deductible. Your donation won’t buy influence or access but it will assist me to continue doing politics differently.
