On Wednesday 23 March we had the great pleasure of hearing Cathy McGowan, former independent member for Indi in Victoria, speak via zoom. Her topic was "Is the increasing election of Independent candidates - a positive or negative for Parliamentary democracy?"

It was an extremely interesting talk, given that we’re on the cusp of a Federal election, and so for those who missed it, and those who want to see it again we have recorded and posted it below.
