Independents in four regional and rural electorates have received a last-minute cash injection for their election campaigns.
The bush's answer to Climate 200, the Regional Voices Fund is helping finance candidates taking on the major parties in non-city seats at the May 3 poll.
In its final funding round for the 2025 election, it is donating to four extra campaigns, taking the total number of parliamentary hopefuls it's supporting to 17.
Kate Dezarnaulds (Gilmore, NSW), Francine Wiig (Fairfax, Qld), Keryn Jones (Fisher, Qld) and Kate Lockhart (Corangamite, Victoria) have all received money from the Regional Voices Fund in the final two weeks of the campaign.
