I’m proud to represent Bradfield as an Independent MP – accountable to our community, not a party room. Listening matters. I want to host forums, roundtables and events to hear directly from locals and keep people informed about what’s happening in Canberra.
Parliamentarians do receive public funding, but it comes with strict rules – and rightly so. Those rules mean activities like large community forums, venue hire and broader engagement aren’t covered by taxpayer funds. This page has also been built without using Commonwealth resources.
If we want politics that’s genuinely community-driven, we must build it together.
Your donation helps make that possible by supporting the kind of open, accessible community engagement that powers independents.
Our campaign transparency
In addition to our legal requirements set out by the AEC, our tenets for donations are that:
- We prefer donations from individuals
- We accept donations from non-commercial organisations such as private ancillary funds (PAFs) and foundations where the organisation's directors do not directly financially benefit from the entity's operation.
Donation disclosure
You are contributing funds to Nixs Run Pty Ltd, which is Nicolette’s campaign vehicle – ABN 73 655 772 508.
As of the time of writing (01 June 2026), Australia does not have a cap on donations to federal campaigns. However, total donations over $17,300 in the financial year ending 30 June 2026 must be disclosed, and Nicolette’s campaign vehicle is obliged to lodge those reports with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).
This means that total donations over $17,300 cannot be anonymous.
New rules are scheduled to come into effect on 01 January 2027. They bring major changes to your and our obligation to report political donations, chief of which are:
- A reduction in the disclosure threshold to $5,000 in a calendar year
- Disclosures will be much faster and more frequent than in the past
- Donations will be capped at an annual maximum of $50,000
