What a journey! From the start, this campaign's been about something bigger than winning a seat. We started a vital conversation about putting people before party politics. Although we fell short, that's a legacy to be proud of.

My congratulations to Tom French on becoming the newest MP for Moore.

Election Day is finally here! Fed up with the major parties playing politics rather than solving the challenges we're facing? Vote 1 for a real independent and help me build a better future for Moore.

Beenyup Wastewater Plant discharges waste only 1 km offshore from Ocean Reef Marina into our Class A Marine Park. It's one of the closest ocean discharge points to land in the whole country.

We need better monitoring to reduce water pollution. That's why I support Clean Ocean Foundation's policy 🌊

It’s been great chatting to people at our early voting booths πŸ—³οΈ

I’ve been hearing a lot of frustration with the major parties. As your Independent, I’ll answer only to you and work for real long-term solutions to the challenges we're facing.

This election, Vote 1 Nathan Barton

I voted today! I decided to vote early as had a feeling my Saturday would be pretty busy πŸ˜‚

It was a surreal moment to see my name on the ballot, and I want to thank everyone who has contributed to make this a reality πŸ’›

Counting down to election day on 3 May - let’s do this!

A stronger cross bench = better outcomes βœ…

As an Independent, I'm not 'in opposition'. I'm working with all sides of Parliament to negotiate the best outcomes for Moore.

Balanced, accountable, genuine representation - let's make it a reality. Vote 1 Nathan Barton!

Hi Matt, I'm encouraging people to Vote 1 for me then number the other candidates in the order that best aligns with their own values. While voters may be given how-to-vote cards from parties, these are often the result of backroom deals. It's ultimately up to each person how they preference.

Fed up with party politics?

Make your voice heard in the ballot box! πŸ—³οΈ

Vote 1 Nathan Barton, then number every remaining box in your order of preference. With Moore the most marginal seat in WA, every vote (and preference) countsπŸ’―

Does your party support ALL workers receiving at least minimum wage? Candidates were asked if they agree: We oppose the practice of paying disabled workers subminimum wage. It is unacceptable that in 2025 disabled people living in Australia can be paid as little as $3.01 per hour, while the minimum wage for others is $24.10 per hour.

Preferences are supposed to be about empowering voters, not backroom deals.
That's why I'm running an open ticket - to empower you to order your preferences according to your own values.
Remember, the order on your ballot is your choice - you're the boss in the ballot box!

Holding a connection to the sacrifices made in our past is invaluable for today and our future. It was an honour to lay a wreath at a local school earlier this week to commemorate the Anzacs and the bond they share in upholding the values of each of our nations.
