Why is Deb running?
Answer
The two party system is broken. Deb realised the major parties are not representing normal people like us, and our regional/rural electorate is vastly ignored by the parties when it comes to federal funding.
The opportunity came up to run as an independent and to represent the community – Deb decided that rather than keep yelling at the politicians on TV, she should put her hand up to offer voters a better choice.
