In their own words
Hi, I’m Alex. I’m running in this year’s state election as a Victorian Socialists candidate for Benambra because I believe in a society created by the people, for the people. Benambra residents deserve better. For 50 years, the Liberal Party has treated this seat as safe, and our community has paid the price through underfunded transport, healthcare, and public housing.
