I’m Wendy Firefly I have been a social worker for 15 years working with homelessness, mental health, drug and alcohol, youth, and aged care. This has given me a great understanding of what is wrong with our government system and the ever-growing divide between the rich and the poor. I’m a long-time Greens supporter because i believe in grass roots democracy  for the people from the people.

I was brought up knowing about the injustice of  colonization and the importance of our First Nations people.

Growing up in a progressive household I knew from a young age if nature is out of balance it will result in extreme weather events. I have been furious of the lack of commitment from the 2 major parties both waiting to the final hour to implement net 0. greens have been fighting for climate action for 25 years.

My Father design the first Transfer station where rubbish was recycled  he even worked to convert methane gas into electricity in the early 90s only to be taken to court and told he couldn't do it .

My first protest was with my family against the Gulf War,Yet we are still spending trillions and killing millions.

I feel like I have been protesting my whole life, whether it has been as a voice for marginalized communities, running blockades in the forest, or campaigns against industrial farming.

I have always felt the need to stand up for what’s right, and this is why I’m running for the Federal election. I want to be the voice of reason and paint the picture of what is really happening in politics today highlighting the corruption, lack of real democracy and the need for strong Policys to create real change for the benefit of all Australians and not just the elite.

We need to remember this is a policy competition not a personality contest so please google the greens policy's and Vote 1 Green in the house and the Senate to send a strong message for change.
