About this listen
In this episode of the Centre for Public Integrity’s podcast series, former Federal Court Judge and Director at the Centre, Michael Barker, engages with Helen Haines MP, the dynamic independent member for Indi in the Federal Parliament.
Drawing on her deep roots in rural Australia and her unexpected journey into public service, Helen shares how her electorate’s unique challenges—from critical water management and unreliable telecommunications to energy infrastructure and sustainable agriculture—have shaped her commitment to evidence-based policy and democratic accountability.
She reveals how grassroots initiatives and a relentless focus on community engagement have driven her work on reforming parliamentary processes and championing integrity in government.
Tune in to hear Helen’s position on how independent representation can transform policy outcomes and restore trust in our democracy.
