Hi, I'm John Photakis
I’m a disability support worker and community organiser. I’m running with the Greens because I want to fight for social justice.
I’ve grown up in Adelaide’s South and been involved in many local groups. I am deeply committed to representing Greens values whether that be in the workplace, at education institutions or out in the community. I’ve worked as a cook, an administrative assistant and currently as a disability support worker and I’ve volunteered in community gardens, community centres and local advocacy groups.
From early on, I’ve been passionate about representing the people around me. I was elected to student council at Flinders University, participated in Student Voice and Tafe SA, Chair of my local community forum for 5 years and I’ve run as a candidate in Local, State and Federal elections.
Labor and Liberal critique each other while large corporations make massive profits and pay no tax, the Greens see a different future. The Greens believe the rich and powerful need to pay their fair share and ensure essential services make life better for you.
The Greens want to ensure more public housing built and maintained by the public builder, make ambulance cover free for concession holders, introduce free school breakfasts and lunches and advocate the public provision of essential services.
