We’ve seen how Labor and the Liberals treat ordinary people, and there’s no hope in waiting for them to change. Real change always comes from the bottom up.
Hi, I'm Jasmine.
Politics is rigged for the rich. I’m running as the Victorian Socialists candidate for Footscray to push for a political revolution which puts wealth in the hands of working class people, not billionaires and corporations.
Homelessness is rising in Footscray. It doesn't need to be. Instead of Labor's public housing sell-off, I'll fight for a mass increase of public homes and funding to housing organisations. I'll push for fare-free public transport, unlimited access to free childcare, and for welfare to be raised above the poverty line.
I’m a community organiser, a lighting technician, and a proud trade unionist. For years I worked for the NSW State Emergency Service including during major flooding events - helping people left vulnerable to crisis by the neglect of housing and infrastructure.
I’ve fought to save Victorian public housing from privatisation, and when more than 80 Altona residents were threatened with eviction by Hobsons Bay Council I helped them defend their right to stay.
I’ve campaigned for equal marriage, climate action, Indigenous justice, and for peace and justice for the people of Palestine. I know that by collectively taking a stand, we can make a real difference.
Melbourne’s west is now the fastest growing region in Australia. Greedy developers make huge profits as they throw up new homes without a thought to adequate services. The west is chronically short of hospitals, schools, green spaces and public transport.
We need to turn this around by demanding the government put serious resources into making our neighbourhoods liveable: pushing funding into hospitals, schools and community centres, and reorganising our roads and public transport so that traffic isn’t a nightmare.
We’ve seen how Labor and the Liberals treat ordinary people, and there’s no hope in waiting for them to change. Real change always comes from the bottom up. Together, we can take power out of the hands of the rich and start to build a society that works for the working class.
