In their own words
As a sixth-generation Gippslander and Bass Coast councillor, I’ve spent my life fighting to protect our forests, ocean and farmland. Eastern Victoria is on the frontline of climate change, and I’m determined to deliver a just transition that creates secure jobs while ensuring our communities can adapt and flourish. But this campaign is about more than climate.

How this page is made. Names, parties and ballot positions are from the VEC's official list. Bios and campaign quotes are copied word for word from the candidate's party profile or their own website, and each links to its source: we don't summarise or rate what they say. The issues are the same ones used for sitting members' records, so candidates can be compared on equal terms. Election history comes from official VEC and AEC results. Donations are as published on VEC Disclosures.
