In their own words
An Independent campaigning for accountability on spending, housing, transport, entertainment and crime with "Policies based on Principles." Can we afford it? What are the social and fiscal costs and can we afford these. Does it make Melbourne better for Melburnians? Will it actually improve people's lives, or is it just another press release.
