Donate

As an independent, I rely on community contribution to progress our work in Truth-Telling & Treaty, Justice, Protection of Country, Human Rights, and against Genocide.

I will be running as again for the Senate in 2028 and will not have the backing of a political party or mining giants to finance the campaign. We will completely rely on your donations.

Join our campaign to progress First Peoples rights by donating to an independent, Sovereign Senator.

How your donation will be used

1. Support community events and initiatives to elevate First Peoples perspectives.
2. Progress our policy and campaign work in our priority portfolio areas of: Truth-Telling & Treaty, Justice, Protection of Country and Cultural Heritage, Human Rights and Genocide.
3. Provide resources for the team to support First Peoples and other constituents in a more comprehensive way and in a timely manner.
