Independent. Accountable. Community-Driven.

At the heart of James Gooden’s work is a commitment to honest, respectful, and transparent leadership. The people of the Riverina deserve more than party spin — they deserve a representative who listens, acts with integrity, and puts the needs of the region first.

Our Core Values

Integrity in Action
Trust is earned through actions, not words. James is committed to ethical decision-making, transparent communication, and standing firm on principle — even when it’s not politically convenient.

Community First
James is accountable to the people of the Riverina, not to party bosses, lobbyists or donors. Every position and decision reflects the values, needs, and concerns of those who live and work here.

Transparency & Accountability
No backroom deals. No hidden agendas. Just honest, straightforward representation. James is always open about where he stands — and why.

Respectful Politics
Politics should never be about division or personal attacks. James believes in respectful discourse, collaboration, and finding common ground to get real results for the Riverina.

Independence Matters
Without ties to political parties or major donors, James has the freedom to speak up when it counts — and to act in the best interests of our communities every step of the way.
