The Electorate:
Pembroke: includes most of the Clarence Council municipal area on the eastern shore of Hobart
WhY RUN?
Without Green voices in the communities within Pembroke, the elections risk being over-run by the vested interests of other parties. The Greens don’t give in to vested interests, and we can’t be bought or sold. We’re firm in our principles, standing up for environmental, social and economic justice.
Having strong candidates in seats like Pembroke forces accountability.
The Process:
Once you have registered your interest, we will be in touch to answer any of your questions, and talk you through our pre-selection process. Once this has been completed, your nomination will proceed to a member ballot. Members of branches that take in the Legislative Council division will vote in the ballot Grassroots democracy in action!
