In their own words
Hi, I’m Colleen. I’m proud to be running as the Victorian Socialists candidate for Albert Park in this year’s state election. I'm a socialist, a union delegate, and a lawyer for people with asbestosis and other occupational diseases. I’ve always stood up for my beliefs, speaking out against government and corporations, and organising people to take them on.
