In their own words
Hi, I’m Dean. I’m proud to be running as a candidate for the Western Metro Region with Victorian Socialists. I’m an IT worker and a trade unionist, and I’m sick of seeing working-class people in Melbourne’s west taken for granted. Labor has governed in the interests of the banks, developers, supermarkets and other big corporations.
