Here is what Australians across age groups and postcodes want from the next government | Celeste Liddle, Melissa Fisher, Anjali Sharma, Steven Herrick

The two-party system needs to be broken and voters’ voices need to be heard.

Celeste Liddle, Celeste Fisher, Melissa Fisher and Anjali Sharma are among the women who will be voting for independents this election.

Liddle was a Greens candidate for the seat of Cooper in the 2022 federal election.

Fisher is an artist and anti-poverty activist who relies on jobseeker in the recent budget.

Fisher says raising welfare payments above the poverty line is the most important issue.
