Jamie Longmuir

Federal candidate for La Trobe

Hi, I'm Jamie.

Growing up in Officer on a rural farm surrounded by forestry has inspired my passion for protecting nature and advocating for our regional communities. 

I’ve worked alongside community organisations like Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and Rising Tide and co-founded the South East Climate Action Network.

We’re in a housing crisis and regional Victoria is being left behind. Labor and the Coalition are both backing new coal and gas and worsening the climate crisis. Meanwhile, regional Victoria is experiencing more climate-related disasters, more often, including bushfires and floods. 

I’m proud to be part of a party that is fighting for no new coal and gas, publicly owned renewable energy, cheaper groceries, and a rent freeze. 

We want to make multi-national corporations pay their fair share of tax and fund things we all need, like dental and mental health into Medicare and government-built homes to rent and buy.

In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics and governments should actually solve the problems we face.

Residents in the electorate of La Trobe know that they deserve more, and I am ready to demand it. If you want change, it’s time to vote for it.
