Why run as an independent? And how do independent candidates fund their campaigns? In this interview I ask Independent Candidate Georgia Steele all about campaigning - from the very basics of registering as a candidate to finances, the importance of volunteers, forward planning, and how someone gets their name known in the community without the support of a political party's recognition and funds.  To learn more about if an independent candidate is running in your area search up "independent candidate for (your electorate/state/territory)" near an election and see what information there is.

Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the video was filmed and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
