In their own words
Hi, I’m Shania. I’m running as the Victorian Socialists candidate for Sydenham in this year’s state election because I believe in fighting for a fair and equal society where us workers call the shots, not the ultra-rich and their out-of-touch political servants. I’m a train driver and a member of the Rail, Tram, and Bus Union.
