In their own words
Hi I’m Gavin. I’m running as the Victorian Socialists candidate for Malvern because I believe politics should put people before profit - and because even in wealthy suburbs plenty of ordinary people are being squeezed while the major parties continue to protect property privilege and corporate power. I’m a Malvern East local, a renter and a parent of three.
