The Independents' Alliance Forum

TIAF is the provisional name for an apolitical think tank of concerned Australians. The participants will be from all political persuations with concern of core issues bonding them. The goals of TIAF will be to come up with strategies and solutions; to discuss issues facing Australians; to foster the exchange of preferences and prevent participating parties from working against each other at election time.

The following are the foundation members of TIAF:
Name Email Political Party
Scott Balson gwb@gwb.com.au One Nation
Max Aleckson Australia First
Bruce Whiteside Not Aligned
(Founder of Pauline Hanson's Support Movement)
Lindon Litchfield One Nation

Australia First's Graham Campbell has given TIAF his provisional blessing. One Nation members who participate in TIAF are in no way representing the party's national executive.
