We are in a climate emergency. Victoria should be leading the renewables industry, lowering energy prices for households and businesses, creating jobs, and pushing back against global warming. Renewables are the cheapest source of electricity generation in Australia. We must phase out fossil fuels and encourage the electrification of industry and transport. 

But protecting the environment is more than an economic issue. It’s about creating surroundings that nurture our physical and mental wellbeing, and strengthen our connections with nature.

Here in the Albert Park electorate we are blessed with unique environmental resources, which desperately need protection and investment that has been in short supply for too many years. 

As your representative, I will advocate for the following:

• Continued promotion of renewable energy production and storage to drive down living costs
  • Within the Albert Park electorate, I’ll focus strongly on ways to help renters access renewable energy 
• Statewide measures to accelerate the electrification of transport and industry
  • Work with all levels of government to expand access to electric vehicle charging within the Albert Park electorate
• Proper funding to repair and rejuvenate Albert Park Reserve and lake for all users of Australia’s most famous park – not just the GP
• Protecting our beautiful precious bay and coastline
  • Top local priorities include the St Kilda penguin colony, beach duning, cleaning rivers and creeks, and mitigating bayside flooding 
• Waste reduction and the extension of the circular economy in business and in homes
