| Info | I am proud to be standing as a Greens candidate for the electorate of Canberra in this very important election. I have lived in Canberra since 1967, and my three sons were born and raised here. I live with my youngest son in Richardson where we enjoy being involved in our local community.
I have had a variety of work experience, from the public service to operating my own small business. In recent years I have focused my energy on the community sector. It is here that I believe I can achieve most for the people who struggle on low incomes in this relatively wealthy city.
I currently work as a Policy and Project Officer with ACT Shelter, an independent peak community organization which provides strategic advice and advocacy to assist people on low and moderate incomes on housing issues. My work involves networking with people with common interest in housing issues and raising public awareness of the urgent need for the affordable housing.
As a mature aged student I qualified with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Education and I am currently studying part time toward a Graduate Diploma in Community Counselling at the University of Canberra. I have worked in women�s health and as a Community Development Worker in multi unit government housing complexes in Canberra.
I am standing as a Greens candidate because I believe passionately that:
The natural environment is the priority: if we don�t have a healthy planet we can live on, the rest doesn�t really matter.
All members of the community have a right to contribute to, and share equally in the benefits of, the community�s social, cultural and economic development.
Everyone should have access to secure, adequate and appropriate housing at a price within their capacity to pay and affordable access to healthcare, education, energy and other essential services.
Everyone has the right to a healthy and safety workplace.
