Hi, I’m Kristie. I am proud to be representing the Greens for the seat of Bowman. 

I am a mother of three and a staunch environmental and animal welfare advocate. 

I am also a long-term health professional, having worked in pathology laboratories in a range of technical, clerical and management roles over the last 22 years across many different specialties, in both public and private sectors. I have an in-depth understanding of the industry and particularly, the challenges faced by front-line public healthcare workers, due to under-funding, staff shortages, fatigue, stress and burnout. 

The Greens will increase the funding to the public health system by 30 billion dollars, over the next decade. This will fund dental (and more) into Medicare, and make seeing the GP free. It will also provide more for public hospitals, easing wait times which we know are unsatisfactory. I know that my community in Bowman urgently need this.

The Greens always have, and always will, stand up for the protection of the environment. It is vital that more Greens are elected, in order to push for strong climate action. We know that we need to expand publicly owned renewable energy to bring power bills down, and continue to fund the innovation and deployment of clean technology.

We’re also fighting for renters and stressed mortgage holders, to cap rent increases, and deliver lower mortgages.

We will also fully fund public schools, and rebate families $800 per year, per school child, to lessen the burden of uniforms, shoes, stationery. 

By taxing billionaires and big corporations properly, we can afford these things. 

With more Greens winning seats this election, we can get better outcomes.

We can keep Dutton out and push Labor to go further on health, housing, climate and the environment. Let’s show the major parties that they are not doing enough and it’s time for change! 

Will you join me and vote for change?
