Let's kick off the macnamara campaign with a bang
Written 23 Mar 2022
This is it: the election is in less than 80 days. On 27 March we are launching our campaign to win Macnamara for the Greens with an almighty bang and we need you.
Will you help launch our campaign with Adam Bandt?
What: Greens Campaign Launch, Macnamara
When: March 27, 3pm - 5pm
Where: St Kilda Town Hall
Our seat is the closest in the country for the Greens and your voice is powerful - with just a few thousand more votes we can kick Scott Morrison out ensure Labor goes further and faster on climate change. Join us to launch this historic campaign.
I’m running in this election because I believe there is still hope. Hope that we can have a strong cross bench after May that will force the next parliament to listen and respond to the damning IPCC report. Hope that after the next election the Greens and Independents will be in a position to stop the expansion of new climate wrecking coal and gas projects. Hope that we can steer away from the fate of more climate-induced disasters and the loss of lives and livelihoods that they will bring.
But hope alone is not enough and that’s why I’m inviting you. We need to capture the hearts and minds of people right across our area. We need to harness the frustration, desperation and hunger for change, and we need to transform it into determination. Determination to kick out this rotten Morrison government and get Greens and independents onto the cross-bench, where we will be at the centre of power.
That’s why this launch is so important.
If ever there was a time to do something, it is now. I know we can change course, that we can move to a future powered by clean energy. A future where medicare covers all of our health needs, not just the bare minimum. And one where those who have gotten wealthy from fossil fuels pay back their fare share.
This seat, Macnamara, is close. The closest in the country after Melbourne in fact. Launching our campaign will be a historic moment for this country: we are drawing a line in the sand. We are standing up for what we believe in, and saying ‘no more’ to Scott Morrison and his merry men. And it all depends on our seat, where the Greens have a chance of winning balance of power.
Change is up to us.
In hope,
Steph
