Green Light Candidates

Liz Tilley (Greens)

I’ve lived and worked in Western Sydney my whole life. The major parties have been taking Western Sydney for granted, ignoring what our communities are asking for and instead caving in to corporate donors. I’ve spent years signing petitions, attending rallies, calling and emailing my representatives. I’ve tried to get them to listen, but nothing changes. They just tinker around the edges without addressing the real causes of systemic injustice. 

I have come to realise the major parties have sold out to the big corporations. They just won’t listen to the community when big money speaks louder. We need to have a strong Greens representative that will stand up for what people in our community really need. 

I am proud to have been selected to be that voice for Parramatta to drive the change we need.

I’m passionate about language, communication and accessibility. I completed my Masters in Japanese Translation and Interpreting at Western Sydney University. I run a freelance business translating and subtitling Japanese media into English. 

I started as a Live TV Captioner at Red Bee Media, and now manage a team of Captioners and Audio Describers working around the country to provide accessibility across TV channels, events and parliament for Deaf/hard of hearing and vision impaired communities. It’s my job to make sure that everyone in Australia has access to important information in the news, but also to dramas, comedies, documentaries and reality TV.

As Australians, we always talk about the fair go and mateship. I want to stand up for people in our community, because no matter who you are, you deserve to live with dignity, in affordable, sustainable, accessible housing. You deserve to be able to get a good education no matter your parents’ income. You deserve to be able to get medical care and support you need, including mental and dental. You deserve to have convenient public transit and safe active transport options available to you. You deserve to have a future that isn’t overshadowed by wars, discrimination, or the climate crisis.

If, like me, you’re ready to make change for the better in Parramatta, I’d love to have your help.

TRAFFIC LIGHT VOTING GUIDE ASSESSMENT WARNING

The team at Vote Climate One may change our Traffic Light voting advice right up to shortly before election day. For instance it is very difficult to access ranking information from parties or candidates who have no public email, phone number or little internet profile. In these cases, we apply the precautionary principle with a Red Light ranking until further information and commitment to climate rescue comes to hand.

Please contact us if you have local information which could effect our rankings. Phone Rob 0n 0427 580 803

The major parties have let the Australian public down when it comes a serious policy commitment to action on the ecological and climate crisis. Consequently, we have assessed both the Labor party and the Coalition as Red Light parties. Nevertheless, in relation to our Traffic Light Voting guides, the Labor party has been ranked orange ahead of the Coalition which remains a stubborn Red Light proposition.

The House of Representitives

Labor is ranked Orange for the House of Reps. The opportunity for a Green Transition, sparked by the influence of a progressive cross bench holding the balance of power in a Labor minority government, is our bet bet for climate rescue.

The Senate

Likewise our senate Traffic Light Voting Guides also promote Labor ahead of the Coalition using an Orange Light status. This stategy will help discourage the worst senario for climate action which would result from a combative Coalition/right wing party majority in the senate.
