Caroline McLean

Candidate for Churchlands

Hi, I’m Caroline and I’m excited to be your Greens candidate for Churchlands this state election!

I am an insurance professional, and an avid climate and environmental volunteer. After spending my childhood visiting friends and family in Churchlands, I made this special place my home in late 2020.

The Australian dream isn’t what it used to be, with more people than ever living below the poverty line. We are a wealthy country and we should not be seeing such a disparity between the haves and have nots.

In WA we are also witnessing the continued destruction of our critically invaluable natural environment in the pursuit of profits, with the interests of large corporations often coming before the needs of the people and nature.

Western Australia is a special place: we have an abundance of unique plant and animal life. The south west of WA is one of 36 Global Biodiversity Hotspots, which is seriously concerning, as to be a Hotspot, over 70% of the natural vegetation in this area has already been cleared.

The Greens are the only party who is truly committed to protecting the environment, from our commitment to net-zero emissions by 2030 to our advocacy to keep our suburbs green. This is especially important in Churchlands, where we need to save our dwindling tree canopy and urban bushland that’s keeping our suburbs cool and providing much-needed habitat for endangered species.

I love our beautiful state and our way of life, so I will be the strong advocate that our people, our natural environment and our climate are calling for.

That’s why I’ve stepped up to represent Churchlands: we need good, strong leaders to focus on securing a safe and healthy future for all, rather than protecting the interests of the wealthy few.

The Greens are a grassroots movement, so we need your support to enact the change we all want to see.

You have the power to choose the future you want for yourself and your loved ones.

Together we can make history. Vote Greens 1 this election!
