Helen Haines looks set to make history by becoming the first independent to succeed another in federal parliament, replacing Cathy McGowan in the northern Victorian seat of Indi.

Dr Haines said she was not happy with the Coalition's current climate policies, and the voters of Indi had backed that stance.

She said her opposition to the Adani coal mine — a key election issue in Queensland — would not be swayed by the strong support for the Coalition in that state. "It was very clear to me, when I was campaigning around Indi, that the young people in particular in Indi were saying no to Adani," she said.
