Hi, I'm Samuel Bannon
I’m your state election candidate for West Torrens in Adelaide’s west.
I was raised in the heart of West Torrens and have lived here for over 20 years. I’ve watched as housing becomes unattainable for young people, our public spaces are handed over to developers, and families struggle to meet basic needs. I believe West Torrens deserves better.
I’ve dedicated my life to helping those in need. With tertiary qualifications in community services and psychological science, I’ve worked with at-risk families, mentored young people, supported asylum seekers, and worked alongside people with disabilities.
This work has shown me the harsh reality that essential support services are often neglected and rarely designed with the community's best interests in mind. These failings fuel cycles of poverty, limit opportunity, and leave too many people behind.
Australian politicians have ignored the voices of everyday people, instead serving the interests of corporate donors. People are crying out for genuine representation. Someone who will listen and fight for a future that works for everyone.
I want to be that voice for West Torrens. With your support, we can build a community where people don’t just survive - they thrive.
