Hi, I'm James.
I’m a father, an engineer, I currently work in Local Government, I am a proud Wakka Wakka man from the state known as Queensland.
I have three beautiful children and I have been a resident of Moonee Valley for nearly 20 years. I love living here, my kids have attended the local public schools and I am a member of the friends of Moonee Ponds creek.
As your Greens candidate for Maribyrnong, I know how much we are struggling. Rents and mortgages are soaring, grocery prices are out of control and the major parties are doing nothing about it.
Both the major parties take millions of dollars in donations from corporations and put their corporate mates before you. The Greens don’t and we’re committed to fighting for you.
We want to make big corporations pay their fair share of tax and fund things we all need, like dental and mental health into Medicare, government-built homes to rent and buy, cheaper mortgages, 50 cent public transport fares, a rent freeze and a cap on grocery prices.
In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics and governments should actually solve the problems we face.
The electorate of Maribyrnong knows they deserve more, and I am ready to demand it. If you want change, it’s time to vote for it.
