In their own words
Hi I’m Maeve. I’m running in the upcoming state election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists in Eltham because we need a society that puts people before profit. I’m a renter, a hospo worker and member of the United Workers Union, and a student. I know the cost of living is hitting working people hard.
