Broadcaster, author and small business owner Alex Dyson is again running as an independent to get a better deal for his home, south west Victoria. In 2019, with $5,000 and a handful of family and friends supporting him, Alex secured 10% of the vote. Then Voices of Wannon formed, inspired by the community independent movement in Indi in north-east Victoria.
The group endorsed Alex in 2022, with the community campaign securing 46% of the two-candidate-preferred vote, making Wannon marginal for the first time in decades. Now, with a growing people-powered movement, Alex can win.
