Independents for Mornington Peninsula (Indies for MP) is a community organisation working to strengthen independent representation and participation in democracy across the Mornington Peninsula.
Our history
Indies for MP grew from the strong community response to the Independent for Flinders campaign at the 2025 federal election.
The campaign demonstrated that many people wanted a different approach to politics — one that puts community before party and gives local people a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them.
Following the election, members and supporters decided to build on that momentum. Independent for Flinders was dissolved and Independents for Mornington Peninsula was established as an incorporated association.
Today, Indies for MP supports community participation and community-backed independent candidates across the Mornington Peninsula, from federal and state politics to local government.
