In their own words
Community-first politics, local priorities, and a campaign you can join. I’m Michelle Kennedy, and I’m running for Ivanhoe because this community deserves a representative who listens first, acts decisively, and answers only to you. I’ve spent my career building things — as a teacher and school leader, as a union leader, and as a founding member of Voices of Jagajaga.

Their stated priorities
- “An affordable roof over everyone’s head”
- “I will advocate for at least 15% of homes completed in the Ivanhoe electorate during the next parliamentary term to be public housing, supported by a funded delivery plan and annual reporting.”
- “I will advocate for replacing stamp duty with an annual tax based on unimproved land value, reducing the upfront cost of moving home and spreading tax payments over time.”
- “I will advocate for more townhouses and low rise apartments near shops, services and public transport, with greater density where infrastructure can support it.”
