Luke Skinner

Hi, I'm Luke Skinner.

I’m running because I believe there’s a lack of integrity in modern day politics. I want to be a part of the solution, a fighter, advocating for what really matters.

I was born and raised in the seat of Spence, where I lived for the majority of my life. I’ve been active in the electorate with various organizations, fighting poverty and providing essential food, water, menstrual products, and clothing to people facing severe housing insecurity. I’ve seen first hand the effect that the cost of living and housing crises is having on people.

Since I was very young, I have been bringing the real issues that face us all to the offices of politicians, through meetings and community activism. It’s this experience that I want to take to Canberra to hold politicians to account.

A lot of renters are just one rent increase away from being forced out of their homes. We’re being told that the average person would have to save for over sixty years before they could afford a home. For some, university debts are growing faster than they can be paid off. The Greens have a plan to fix these problems and more.

The Greens want to take on the price-gouging corporations, tax them and fund the things we all need: a freeze and cap on rent increases, making sure you can see the doctor for free, wiping all student debt, and ending the billions in public handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations.
