The Flinders federal election is heating up — and STPL News wants to hear from you.
We’re looking for rusted-on local supporters of the candidates running in Flinders to share their views in the lead-up to election day. This isn’t about party spin or political jargon. We’re after real voices from the community — people who believe in their chosen candidate and want to explain why.
Whether you back Zoe McKenzie, Sarah Race, Ben Smith, Mike Brown, Jason Smart or Adam Frogley, if you’re a resident of the electorate and you’re passionate about your choice, we’d love to hear from you.
You don’t need to be a political expert. We’re not looking for party staffers or spokespeople — just everyday locals who care and are ok with their opinions being published.
To participate please complete the below form.
We’ll be running a special election feature, highlighting a range of community voices on topics like cost of living, housing, climate, and how each side of the Peninsula is being represented.
Let’s make this election real — with real people, real opinions, and respectful debate.
