Palaniappan Subramanian

Candidate for Winston Hills

Winston Hills Electorate Deserves the Best: Vote 1 Palani and The Greens Upper House Team to lead the rest!

I’m Palani—an IT architect, Western Sydney local for over a decade, and parent raising two children in our vibrant multicultural community. As your Greens candidate, my deep commitment to grassroots organizing, climate action, and community volunteering has given me a front-row view of our public systems—and how they fail everyday people. 

By winning Winston Hills, We will bring a bold, progressive model straight to Western Sydney. We will prioritize working-class affordability, better public services, and real community investment—funded by finally making billionaires pay their fair share. Major parties often run multicultural candidates in unwinnable seats just for show. 

A vote for me puts genuine, representative community leadership in Parliament so planning decisions benefit millions in the community, not million-dollar donors.

What’s crushing Western Sydney?

Our region faces developer-driven planning, corporate price-gouging, and tax-evading billionaires. This broken system fuels skyrocketing housing and energy costs, record ambulance wait times, underfunded public schools, community space deficit, traffic congestion and a social housing waitlist of 67,000+ households. Meanwhile, major parties shield corporate lobbyists while curbing our right to protest for workers, climate action, gambling reform, and justice. 

How will the Greens deliver real change?

Because the Greens voluntarily ban corporate donations, Greens MPs are answerable only to you. We will make tax-dodging corporations pay their fair share to: 

  • Fully fund public education from childcare through university. 

  • Expand community health, including free dental and mental health clinics. 

  • Introduce free public transport, end "Toll Mania", and bring back Active Kids Vouchers. 

  • Reduce power bills with solar and electrification subsidies. 

  • Restart public housing, restrict gambling, and stop privatising public services. 

  • Build community infra and address traffic congestions.
