A Conversation with Cathy McGowan, former Member for Indi and Jo Palmer, Director The Connection Table

Looking for the positive side of politics? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Cathy McGowan, former Member for Indi and ‘The Queen of the Community Independent Movement’. Facilitated by Jo Palmer, Director of The Connection Table. 

In 2013, Cathy McGowan broke the Liberal/National Coalition’s hold on the seat of Indi, becoming the first independent member for the north-east Victorian electorate and the first female independent to sit on the parliamentary crossbench.

Her successful grassroots campaigns sparked nationwide interest in the potential of community-based, independent politicians to chart a new course for Australian democracy, demonstrating that when politics relates to a community, the power of a community is unleashed.

This event is for those in the Riverina looking for positive change in the Riverina and to hear about the pathway to change and the power of the community independent movement. Join us to be inspired by Cathy’s story and experience in creating true community representation.

Free event. Food and drinks available to purchase at the bar.
