Stef Rozitis

Candidate for Elder

Hi, I'm Stef Rozitis

I’m running to push for bolder action in protecting our oceans and air as we build a sustainable economy for all. Like many of you, I want a safer future for our children.

I live in leafy Elder. Our vibrant neighbourhood is rich in caring people, and community building resources such as street libraries, the PASMAG network, green and community spaces, and wonderful small businesses.  

We’re a neighbourhood that cares deeply about access to community-enhancing schools, working with council to provide cycling and walking infrastructure (active transport), and staying well connected with public transport. We value diversity and celebration.

I have worked as a teacher, teacher-educator, policy writer, resource writer, and researcher. I am keen to apply the broad skills and knowledge I have gained from my work and networks, in the service of democracy.

In Elder we expect our MPs to be present for us and listen, but then also be free to act on our behalf. We can do better than the duopoly of the major parties who have mechanisms for quashing local voices. It’s time for bolder, more effective action on climate change and a global vision for a sustainable future. We need a vision for a fair South Australia where our children will enjoy secure, fairly remunerated jobs, affordable housing, and adequate health care.

I am enthusiastic to keep listening, to understand what the priorities are for people in Elder, and to advocate strongly for the changes we so urgently need.
