About
I acknowledge the people of the Wiradjuri Nation as the traditional custodians of this land. It always was and always will be First Nations people’s land.
It was never ceded and the only way to achieve true reconciliation is through all three recommendations of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which the Greens will work to see implemented: Truth, Treaty, and the Voice to Parliament.
I’ve lived in Wagga for over 40 years. I have been a Greens member for over twenty years and an activist for much longer. I’m a retired university lecturer, former trade union organiser. I was the first openly gay Wagga Wagga City Councillor and Deputy Mayor. I am an active volunteer in many community, environmental and social justice organisations.
One of my Campaign Slogan is ‘For the People and the Planet, For the Many not the Few’.
The Perrottet coalition government lets the people down and the Opposition has nothing of substance to offer. Only the Greens have the radical policies needed to fix this broken system. We can deal with climate change, rescue the environment and achieve social and economic justice for all.
We need to prioritise ecological sustainability to ensure that the planet continues to provide a welcoming home for all life.
