The Democratic Revival: Simon Holmes à Court at the National Press Club

Today, Simon Holmes à Court took the stage at the National Press Club with a clear message: the upcoming election is a sliding doors moment for Australia.

Millions of Australians, fed up with inaction from the major parties, now have the opportunity to support something better – community independents. 

Smart, passionate, engaged people, chosen by their communities. Leaders with vision and courage, who make decisions in the best interest of their communities and the country. 

Leaders that will address the things that matter to everyday people - a cost-of-living crisis, a housing crisis, an integrity crisis, and, of course, the climate crisis.

But change doesn’t happen on its own — it takes people power. Everyday Australians stepping up to take democracy into their own hands. 

A record number of independents are taking on the major parties at the next election. We’re proud to be backing 35 of them. But they need your support. 

The major parties have enormous war chests, fossil fuel lobby support, and teams of taxpayer-funded staffers. Community independents have us.

With your help, we can level the playing field – ensuring they have the resources to reach voters and win. 

100% of your donation will go directly to community backed independents. Climate 200 doesn’t keep a cent.
