Hi, I'm Vinnie and I'm your candidate for Dickson.

I’m an environmental scientist, disability and health advocate, and para athlete.

The current political system is failing Australians. Key decisions are being made for short-term political gain rather than the long-term interests of us all. This continues the status quo of inequality in our communities, and the exploitation of our planet. 

I’m running for the Greens because I want to stand up for everyday Australians. 

I grew up in a rural area in a working-class family. I was born with a condition called Fibular Hemimelia resulting in a shorter left leg, which required many surgeries throughout my youth. This experience showed me at a young age how policies like public healthcare cannot be taken for granted, and must be fought for to not only win, but protect.

I was the first in my family to earn a degree, moving to Brisbane to attain a Bachelor of Environmental Science. Now working as a manager in a not-for-profit table tennis club, I spend my time growing a highly accessible sport and fostering a rich community of people coming together over a shared lifelong passion. While I love community building on a local level, I still feel a deep responsibility to contribute to building a better society for all Australians.

I will be your voice in federal parliament to push for strong action on the climate crisis, tackle inequality to take care of our vulnerable, and make billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share to fund the quality services and safe and affordable housing that a wealthy country like Australia can afford.

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and concerns as we work together to make Dickson and Australia a better place to live. 

With your support, we can send a message that we’re fed up with the major parties and put the Greens into balance of power, where we’ll fight relentlessly to create a fairer future for all of us. 

Will you join me?
