• A volunteer led movement

    Posted by · May 09, 2025 10:57 AM

    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.

  • Fusion's Policies for Better Streets

    Posted by · April 20, 2025 9:04 PM

    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.
