Hi, I’m Simon.
I am proud to be standing for the Greens. We have an optimistic vision for positive change. It is based on our commitment to putting people and the planet before profit and self-interest. And we have solutions to the problems of systemic inequality.
While I am currently fortunate to own my home in Dobell, I have faced the harsh realities of the rental market, including periods of homelessness. The experience has given me a deep understanding of the devastating effect of housing insecurity.
My background is in the arts, education and community activism. My current role involves supporting individuals who have encountered barriers to further education. This job provides me with stability, but I am no stranger to periods of unemployment and job insecurity.
Like many who have witnessed disadvantage and experienced vulnerability, I am fiercely passionate about justice, liveable income levels, affordable housing, free healthcare and free education. I will fight hard for these things for our community.
I am inspired by the conviction that our grassroots movement can and does make a significant difference.
