Bonnie Harvey (Greens)

Our residents are concerned about the state of the climate and the inefficacy of our current political leaders. Like me, many of our community have done their research, attended climate protests, and signed petition after petition demanding action.

But unfortunately, it is falling on deaf ears.

Time is not a luxury that our country can afford to waste tinkering around the edges. We need a Government that recognises that we are facing multiple crises, which cannot be dealt with separately. We are experiencing a systematic collapse due to corporate greed, which looks like:

·       Climate change

·       Wealth inequality

·       Global unrest

·       And politicisation of human rights

Warringah deserves a Government that prioritises the environment and that recognises that people over profits is not only possible but necessary.

That is why I am running for this election. To offer the people of Warringah a candidate who is committed to proactively treating the disease, rather than toying with isolated symptoms. My name is Bonnie Harvey, and I am your Greens Candidate for Warringah.

I am a 23-year-old Northern Beaches councillor, artist, student, and small business owner.

As the youngest woman to ever be elected to the Northern Beaches Council, I know what it means to represent my local community; from advocating for the arts, and supporting local environment groups to re-invigorating apathetic residents’ hope in politics. I understand what it means to be a true advocate for my electorate: to acknowledge uncomfortable truths, push for meaningful change, and bring people together.

I am extremely privileged to call Warringah my home. I am happiest swimming at Cabbage Tree Bay, walking dogs at Monikas Doggy Rescue and drinking coffee after an Emu Parade Cleanup. As someone passionate about the environment, the fact that Warringah has been such a climate-forward electorate has filled my heart with hope. However, housing affordability and the cost of living mean that many of our residents, especially the young and very old, are being left behind. 

Changing that reality is not only possible but necessary.

Our climate can be clean, our fridges full and our minds at rest – knowing that no one will fall through the cracks. The Greens are the only party brave enough to make this happen by forcing billionaires and large corporations to pay their fair share. 

Will you join me?
