STATEMENT FROM THE LEADER OF THE VICTORIAN GREENS, ELLEN SANDELL

2026-07-30

“People are fed up with watching the leadership musical chairs of the major parties in Victoria.

“Labor’s hopped on board the same leadership merry-go-round as the Liberals, but the problem isn’t who is sitting in the captain's chair. The problem is that people are fed up with politicians who care more about themselves than fixing the big problems that we’re all facing.

“Jacinta Allan and Ben Carroll are both fighting more for their own job than they ever have for Victorians. This Labor Government cares more about clinging to their own power than using their power to improve people’s lives.

“The question isn’t who is going to lead the Labor party. It’s who is going to replace them and the Greens are ready to replace them.

“Not only are we the only party that’s not eating itself, we have a plan to actually make people’s lives better. To make housing affordable, for free and frequent public transport, to make the big corporations pay their fair share so we can pay for the things that will make people’s lives easier.

“If you’re up with the major parties, Victorians don’t have to settle for a choice between bad or worse. It’s time to demand better and vote for the Greens this November.”
