Hi, I'm Tara
As a public school teacher, unionist and renter, I will genuinely represent the Cooper community.
I’m also proud and excited to be running in Cooper with the chance of being the first trans MP in any Parliament in Australia.
I will fight so that everyone in our community has access to what they need.
I’m proud to call Cooper home. Our lively arts scene, strong queer community and our diversity have made this an incredible place to live. Unfortunately, much of that is under threat.
When so many people are paying massive sections of their income to line someone else's pocket while living in sub-standard conditions, the system is very broken, and we have been out here with real, viable legislative solutions to that problem. And the fact is, we can pay for things our community needs - infrastructure, schools, healthcare - if we actually tax the billionaires who can afford to pay for it.
Labor can’t keep relying on millions in donations from big oil and gas corporations and expect voters to believe that they are going to take real action on the climate crisis.
We’re hearing every week on the doors and phones that voters are sick of the major parties and are rolling up their sleeves to send Australia’s first trans MP to Canberra.
It’s clear Labor doesn’t have the will to tackle the massive problems we face in climate and cost of living, and the only way to get meaningful and positive change is to put more Greens in the parliament.
Our community knows that we deserve more, and we’re ready to demand it. Our movement in Cooper is growing, and we’re only getting started.
