Hello there Miles, I'm contacting you because I need your help.  In 2022, we were running high from our national founding, and ran a desperate gamble for Victorian state party registration. We fell short at the time, but thanks to hard working Victorian organisers like Simon Gnieslaw, Owen Miller and Kammy Cordner-Hunt we built a Victorian movement which has now doubled in size over the past three years. This is a movement which campaigned for whistleblowers like Julian Assange, for climate action, for a science and technology led future.

It is the duty of a party to be democratic. Which means that, whatever our personal views are, we are aspiring to serve the public. This is why we must be able to isolate our own egos and look at ourselves critically. In saying that elections are a chaotic time for everyone who gives their time to help and where there’s chaos, there are mistakes, and it is important we reflect on what happened. In addition to congratulating people on their efforts and what went well, we must also commit ourselves to working out what went wrong, how we can fix it in the future, and how to cope better with problems we are likely to face again in elections to come.

So firstly, a sincere thankyou to everyone who invested their passion, effort, and time in helping the Fusion party. We are volunteers and literally nothing happens without you.

This is a special message to our non-candidate volunteers who joined our nationwide electoral campaign over the last few weeks.

You are our key to an evidence-led, humanist future in this country! 

I believe in the power of a grassroots, volunteer based movement. Although our candidates lead the way with ideas and presence, it's only with your help as volunteers that we gain any traction or visibility. It's you volunteers that collectively put in far more to our movement than any of our candidates can alone. It's from you as volunteers that we gain democratic legitimacy.

A perennial issue for voters is what the government is going to do about their immediate surroundings − their home and their surrounding streets.

Although streets are largely under the mandate of councils and state governments, Fusion does have some federal policies which could end up making an even larger difference when it comes to shaping neighbourhoods into places that people love.
