Hi there, my name is Gabrielle and I’m your Greens candidate for Longman.

I’m a graphic designer by trade, an occasional wedding videographer, gamer and a massive K-pop fan. I was born in Kingaroy but my Mum and I moved all over South East Qld while I was growing up. After completing my Bachelors of Art at UniSC, I found my home in Moreton Bay, with my husband and 4 year-old Rottweiler cross, Boomer. I love this area, and I want to stay here, build a future here, and see our community thrive. 

So many folks in our area are feeling like it’s impossible to get ahead. We’re working hard, paying rent, while the price of the weekly grocery shop and the other bills keep getting bigger. All of this in the shadow of increasing global tensions, historic wealth inequality and the warming climate. 

I’m running for parliament because I believe politics should be about making life easier for people, not harder. We need meaningful action to bring down the cost of living, ensure housing is affordable, address the climate crisis and keep essential services accessible. Labor and the LNP have had plenty of opportunities to intervene in these areas - but instead of making genuine, tangible change, they’ve tinkered around the edges, or ignored these needs entirely. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The Greens have a plan to reduce the cost of living, make housing more affordable, get rid of school fees and make trips to the GP free again. We’ll put dental and mental healthcare into Medicare, and make price gouging at the supermarket illegal, to bring down the cost of your weekly grocery shop. We’ll build public housing, regulate the banks to offer cheaper mortgages, and put a cap on the amount rent is allowed to increase. We can fix the NDIS and increase Centrelink payments and end poverty. 

By making billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share of tax, we can fund all these things and make sure we all have what we need to live a good life.

We can’t keep voting for the same two parties and expecting a different result. If you want change, you have to vote for it.

Let’s build a fairer future together. Vote 1 Greens.
