Scarborough Green Light Candidates

Emily Stokes (Animal Justice Party)

Since understanding the reality of factory farming in the animal agriculture industry, I have been vegan and dedicated to the animal welfare cause. As an undergraduate genetics student and aspiring biotechnologist, I hope to work in the upcoming cultivated meat field — replacing intensive animal farming practices with plant-based agriculture and cell-cultured meat. With government investment in research and development, we can move our food systems towards a sustainable, economically-booming, cruelty-free future.

Guided by the principles of effective altruism, I volunteer much of my time with organisations including Animals Australia, the Australian Alliance for Animals, and Effective Animal Advocacy Australia. Through this work I have successfully organised regular community dinners to raise money for animal charities. Working as a children’s tutor and op shop assistant has also brought me closer to my community.

I believe in innovative solutions to tackle problems, which is why I wholeheartedly support the Animal Justice Party’s plan for Veticare — providing subsidised care for pets and wildlife, and supporting our hard-working vets and vet nurses. If elected, I will also work to establish an Independent Office for Animal Protection to ensure that animal welfare is handled by a well-resourced, independent body to afford all animals the protection they deserve.

“I am running as a candidate because I know just how weak our animal protection laws are, and how voiceless animals are in the political system.”

Emily’s Key Priorities in this Election Include:

  • Tougher animal protection laws to hold animal abusers to account, including mandatory jail time for severe cruelty.
  • An Independent Office of Animal Protection to ensure that the government department responsible for profiting from animal exploitation is no longer the same department regulating animal welfare.
  • Ending greyhound racing and other forms of animal exploitation in the name of entertainment and gambling profits.

Every vote for the Animal Justice Party is a step toward a brighter future for all living beings.

Emily is an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Mark Twiss (Greens)

I was a Scarborough resident for 10 years, so this place is truly close to my heart.

As a candidate in the 2021 state election, I met many voters who shared their frustrations with the lack of climate change action. The WA Labor Government’s inaction over the past four years is what prompted me to step up and run again, and I’m proud to be a conduit for people to express their concerns for themselves and their family’s future when it comes to this critical issue.

Climate action at a local level is important to me. That’s why the Greens have policies in place to protect the urban canopies and green spaces. These important natural assets aren’t just vital for the health of our environment – they’re also why so many of us have loved living in Scarborough in the first place.

I’m also aware of the lack of focus given to upgrading public transport service in our local area. 

The Greens have a plan to bring the implementation of the Public Transport Plan forward to 2030, speeding up the long overdue review and consideration of a light rail line from Scarborough Beach to Glendalough Station. This would bring much-needed life to the electorate’s business district, creating new jobs and enterprise on its corridor.

A greener future for Scarborough is possible – but we have to make it happen together.

The only way to secure meaningful climate action is with a vote for the Greens, so vote 1 Greens this state election!
