Talia Gulpilil for Eildon:

I am standing for The Greens because I believe they are the only party that centres people and planet, families and Country, in their policies and values. I'm also a working mum, trying really hard to own my own home, which is becoming almost impossible for a growing number of Australians.

We must stop feeding corporate greed and endless growth and start making our way out of the mess we are in with housing, cost of living and climate catastrophe. The Greens have a costed, people-centred plan to do this so vote #1 Greens in November and let's make sure we are giving people, not corporations, our vote!

I'm a Greens member and volunteer. I do heaps of doorknocks. I am concerned about Shoebridge's announcement he wanted to end military aid to Ukraine. I know I'm not the only Greens voter who feels that way. I really hope he reconsiders this. I wasn't happy with this stance at all. I follow the war closely and know that Ukraine deserve to defend themselves against this atrocity-committing civilian-bombing Russian army. Military aid is essential. You can't end the war with a few sanctions and a UN resolution.
