We can’t keep voting for the same major parties and expect different results.

Lyne has been overlooked by the major parties for far too long while our community continues to face rising living costs, a healthcare system that’s out of reach physically and financially, and the escalating impacts of climate change—more frequent fires, floods, and extreme weather. It’s time for change.

My Commitment to You:

• Fairness: We’ll make big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share to fund essential services like free childcare, healthcare, and education.   

• Equity: We’ll stand up for everyone ensuring that there is real change for women, marginalised identities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our electorate and beyond so everyone can thrive. 

• Action: We’ll tackle the issues that matter most to you—protecting you, your loved ones, and environments we live and work in.  

Lyne deserves a voice that fights for you and puts people first, not profits. Vote 1 for Tom Ferrier, Greens Candidate for Lyne and together, we can build a fairer future for Lyne.

Federal Greens Candidates for Lyne

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Priorities for You

Priority One: Lower the Cost of Living and Tackle Inequalities
We want to tax big corporations and billionaires so that everyone can live a better and more affordable life. We would freeze rents, wipe student debts, strengthen workers rights and provide free childcare and education. This way no one is left behind.

“Australians are hard hit by housing costs, whether mortgage or rent,” said Mr. Ferrier. “First home buyers are locked out of the housing market by a system that favours investors. The Greens will cap rents and phase out negative gearing and capital gains concessions. The Greens pressure has recently secured an additional $3 billion in funding for public and community housing.” - Tom Ferrier

Priority Two: Fix Healthcare to be Accessible, Affordable, and Inclusive
Lyne has some of the highest rates of chronic pain (Deloitte, 2018) and stroke (Stroke Foundation, 2023) in the country, while essential services like dental, mental health, reproductive care and even GPs remain out of reach for many. We want to invest in local care, protect the NDIS and expand Medicare to ensure healthcare for all.

“Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. From aged care to dental and mental health, every Australian deserves quality care. The Greens will restore free GP visits, include dental care in Medicare, and ensure older Australians receive affordable, high-quality aged care—whether at home or in residential facilities. We believe healthcare should always be provided on a not-for-profit basis.” – Tom Ferrier

Priority Three: Protect our Environment and Prepare for Climate Impacts
With 10,000 private properties in Lyne predicted to be uninsurable by 2030 (Climate Council 2022), an urgent response is needed. We would fund disaster readiness, take climate action through greater renewal energy investment, and strengthen environmental protections. This will safeguard our future.

“We must properly resource our emergency services to handle fires and floods, and strengthen environmental laws…Study after study has shown the cheapest and most efficient energy comes from renewables, especially solar and wind. It makes sense to increase subsidies for renewables like rooftop solar to bring household power bills down – paid for by ending subsidies for fossil fuel corporations and billionaires.”  - Tom Ferrier
