In 2012, a dozen men and women from the federal electorate of Indi in Victoriaâs north-east decided theyâd had enough of politics as usual.
Last held by Labor in 1931, Indi had been represented by conservatives for more than 80 years â first by the United Australia Party, and then by the Country and Liberal parties. Sophie Mirabella had held the regional seat for almost 12 years.
Susan Benedyka is running as an independent Senate candidate for Victoria, part of a growing movement to get independents elected and shake up âpolitics as usualâ in Canberra.

Former premier Jeff Kennett has warned the electoral wipe-out of Western Australia’s opposition could be repeated in Victoria unless the state Liberal Party embraces systemic reform needed to attract better candidates and present as a viable, alternative government.
Mr Kennett cautioned against a rush to replace Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien, saying the priority should be an administrative overhaul to enable the party to defend and win seats at the next federal election.
Mark McGowan has all but eradicated the Liberal Party from West Australian state politics.
