MARK McFarlane wants to keep it real as a candidate for Indi as he believes there are too many groomed politicians following the party line.

Glenrowan is close to Mr McFarlane's heart as he lived there for more than a decade and the now Benalla resident describes himself as a conservative Independent who is out to serve the people.

He took aim at incumbent Helen Haines because as he said farmers feel like they're not getting any support from her around the construction of solar facilities on agricultural land.

"I am not for this renewable push and I'm representing the people who just want good base load power and I want to continue to support the coal and gas industry," he said.

As a carpenter and home designer, he feels their needs to be a greater focus on building houses rather than the government just throwing money at schemes and nothing happens.

Mr McFarlane was an Australian Army apprentice carpenter when he was younger and he wants to see the Army apprentice schools (formerly at Bonegilla and Mt Martha) reinstated to help bolster the military as well as the building industry as more people become qualified.

"I am a real choice for the independence of Indi, and not an advocate for Climate200, World Economic Forum, World Health Organisation or the United Nations," he said.

"These are all unelected infiltrators on our free way of life."

Other topics Mr McFarlane is interested in include a push for better health care around untested vaccines, carcinogenic EMF microwaves from 5G towers and transmitters, aeroplane pollution and weather manipulation of the skies.

He also wants to lessen the income tax burdens on the average Australian, keep coal and gas in the power generation mix, and see an end to parental right impediments around schooling and medical aspects of people's own children.

"I also want to stop the roll-out of toxic wind/solar and battery factories on our country, as well as lowering migrant stress on our housing and public facilities," he said.
