Russell Broadbent standing up for Gippsland families, farmers, freedom, healthcare, roads and real leadership

Standing for Gippslanders and not party lines or special interests with commitment to real leadership, community-focused policies and greater funding.

By news@gippsland - 16th April 2025 - Back to News

Hello, I'm Russell Broadbent, Independent Member for Monash. I've always stood for the people I represent - not party lines, not special interests. Right now, we need real leadership. That's why I'm focused on the things that matter most to our community. These include policies that:

• Put Families & Farmers First
• Ensure Fuel Sovereignty
• Let Parents Parent
• Protect Our Freedoms
• Ensure a Responsible Economy
• Invest in the Health & Wellbeing of Australians and of course,
• Fund & Maintain Country Roads

I'm fighting to secure $60 million in federal funding to get the new Warragul Hospital underway - because healthcare in Gippsland must meet the needs of our growing population. I believe aged care should be built on dignity - for both our elders and the carers who support them. Farmers and small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I back policies that reduce red tape and support our farmers to propagate and produce.

Russell Broadbent believes Australians deserve informed consent and bodily autonomy, supported by open, honest conversations about health choices

On energy, I'm practical. We need affordable, reliable electricity - using the abundant resources Australia already has and ensuring community consultation. I support open, honest dialogue about health freedom - because Australians deserve informed consent and bodily autonomy.

And most of all, I believe in integrity in government. That means standing firm on principle, even when it's unpopular. I'm Russell Broadbent - and I'll keep working for you, your family, and the future of Monash.
