Your True Independent

Welcome

It is my great privilege to represent the people of Monash in the Parliament of Australia. Our local area is a great place to live, work and raise a family and I work to ensure it continues to be an even better place for us all.

In addition to serving our Monash community, I am a vocal advocate for a just and compassionate society with a focus on: a fair and sustainable NDIS, care and dignity for our elders and their carers, respect for women, flexibility and support for small businesses and the humane treatment of refugees.

Keeping in touch with your views and opinions helps me to represent you and I encourage your regular feedback. Please take the time to complete my survey and you can also subscribe to my mailing list to receive regular updates.

Warm regards,

Meet Russell

Trust, reason and commonsense

To everyone who's reached out with generous messages of support, I extend my heartfelt thanks—on behalf of myself, my team, and my family.

To those who stood so strongly with us - during COVID, at the pre-poll, and on election day - you are heroes.

Never forget what we have been through over these past five years. Never forget how the people of this land were treated. Never forget the coercion, the forced mandates, the curfews, and the insidious, untested, unsafe COVID injections. Never forget that we stood for freedom of choice, bodily autonomy, parental rights, and informed consent.

You were voices in the wilderness, yet you held up the arms of many who were crying out for support.

You are the remnant who stood then - and still stand - against the narrative pushed by the government and the tide of deceived minds.

I cannot express in words how grateful I am that you stood, face to the wind, and never took a step back.

You stood with me when I was alone. Never give up the fight. ... See MoreSee Less

And you, Russell, were one of our very few heroes. If only we had a parliament full of representatives with your courage and integrity. God bless.

Thank you Russell for being such a great statesman! And for your support in our fight to have a proper investigation into any vaccine link to the death of our beautiful daughter Aurelia from subclinical myocarditis last July.

Stay strong 💪🏼 Mr Broadbent. Thank you for all that you have done. We wish you & your family well for the future 💙🙏💙

One of the finest men in Australia If Only we had more men of intelligence and integrity like yourself our country would be very very different You are a rare gem

All the better without MP next to your name these days, given that parliament is now devoid of any shred of representation!

One of the few who have displayed spine.
