Hi, I'm ISABEL

I have spent my entire life in the Inner North suburbs of Canberra, currently residing in Downer. My career has been dedicated to protecting and advocating for the rights of sexuality, gender-diverse, and intersex Canberrans through my work with A Gender Agenda, Meridian, and the ACT LGBTIQ+ Ministerial Advisory Council. Additionally, I have served as a policy advisor for LGBTIQ+ affairs and drug harm reduction in the Assembly. I am also in the final months of completing my PhD in Sociology at the Australian National University.

With a lifelong commitment to social and environmental justice, I joined the Greens in 2013 while an undergraduate student at ANU. As a former ACT head of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, I became involved with the Greens due to my deep passion for addressing the climate crisis. As the climate becomes increasingly unpredictable and dangerous, we will face not only ecological devastation but also extreme social, economic, and political challenges. The Greens are the only party that has consistently prioritised climate action alongside peace, social justice, and grassroots democracy.

This election, we have a critical story to tell about how we can use our experience in government and our commitment to social justice to transform the lives of those affected by unjust economic and social systems. I am proud to campaign for the re-election of Shane Rattenbury and Rebecca Vassarotti to the Assembly, as well as to promote our bold and transformative plan to build and acquire 10,000 new public homes, establish 160,000 free GP visits per year, and continue our leadership on climate action. Change is truly possible—if you vote for it.
