In their own words

I’m a student teacher and a long-time environmental activist, and I’ve been a socialist for more than a decade. I’m running with Victorian Socialists in the Northern Metro region because we desperately need an alternative to the profit-driven politics of the major parties. For too long, the essentials of our lives have been sacrificed for corporate profit.
