Hi, I’m Viv! I’m an activist, an artist, and a long-time advocate for social and environmental justice.
I’m proud to be your Greens candidate for Nedlands in the upcoming state election.
Growing up in public housing, I learned the value of community, collaboration, and a strong welfare system. Studying botany at university deepened my love for ecology, but my real-world education came from standing up for workers’ rights in Thatcher’s Britain, and refusing to take a job away from workers on strike.
My career has been as varied as my passions, from computer programming and community organising to producing and performing in theatre around the world. I’ve sat on boards and management committees for creative industry groups and volunteered for not-for-profit organisations seeking to create a better future. Along the way, I’ve seen how deeply political decisions shape people’s lives, especially after moving to Australia with my family.
Since joining the Greens in 2014, I’ve served on National Council and as International Secretary, working to create a system that prioritises people and the planet.
Here in Nedlands, we face real challenges: rental stress, lack of community consultation on property developments, and the urgent need for climate resilience.
We’re stuck in a political system that refuses to act. The Greens are powered by people, not corporations, and we’re here to lead the change our community needs.
Together, we can tackle the climate crisis, make housing affordable, and create a future that works for all of us. Join me in creating this change for Nedlands.
See you out there!
