Up until vote tallies start to rise at 6pm Saturday, each candidate is equal on zero and anything is possible.
What if independent Alan Lappin finished with the most votes and he really could build the country's first solar power plant in Indi?
We’d have an MP telling the prime minister to approve a currency running parallel to the Australian dollar, which would provide better value if used to buy environmentally-friendly products.
What if Ray Dyer was elected and clean toilets were placed on the federal agenda?
Indi would be home to the country’s most famous goat and Ned Kelly singlets would be the way to identify our people – a whole new avenue into tourism for the country’s most famous bushranger.
What if Tim Quilty won a seat for the Liberal Democrats?
Well, his election platform is for free speech, we could just say whatever the heck we wanted.
What if Julian Fidge became the most powerful man in Indi?
His Wangaratta Council antics would just be the beginning and federal ministers would have to watch out for the Australia Country Party candidate’s ability to catch them out with finer points of the law.
What if Jenny O’Connor could give the Greens just their second lower house seat?
After conservative farmers recovered from the the shock of a “leftie” representative, they might be forced to jump on the solar energy bandwagon to continue powering their work.
Every vote is a way to shape Indi’s future on Saturday, so make it count.
