Jocelyn Brewer (Greens)

I’m a parent, psychologist, and former public school teacher, and I can’t stop thinking about how the decisions made in Canberra ripple through our community. 

I worry about the world our kids will inherit, and I’ve had enough of the major parties sitting on their hands while our future and our wallets burn.

Unceded Darug lands have been home for most of my life – I grew up in Berala, I worked in the region as a teacher and school counsellor for over a decade, and I’ve lived in the Bankstown area since 2017.

I love it here. I love how our community’s diversity and resilience shines through in everything that we do – from how we supported each other through COVID to the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

Watson deserves better than Labor’s weak response to climate change and their shameful silence on Gaza. And don’t get me started on Dutton’s reckless vision for Australia – it’s not a ‘track’ I want for my kid or yours.

 Watching Parliament ram through dozens of bills on the last sitting day of 2024 was like watching my old Year 9 students scramble to finish their geography assignments by the due date – except these decisions affect all our lives. That was the moment I knew I had to step up and take real action, not just share my disappointment and rage on social media.

From my years in schools and practicing psychology in the area, I understand the real challenges facing Watson families – whether it’s managing mental health and trauma, accessing the NDIS, or dealing the financial stress and housing instability.

I’m here to work for meaningful change and I’m calling on your support for:

• Social justice > ensuring the ceasefire in Gaza is observed, ending racism, improving refugee rights, and advocating for First Nations justice
• Climate justice > real action on sustainability and renewable energy, ending coal and gas and calling out Dutton’s half-baked nuclear plans.
• Economic justice > sustainable solutions to the housing crisis, tackling skyrocketing costs of living, taxing big corporations, getting dental into Medicare and increasing access to effective mental health

Labor has taken our community for granted and I am compelled to act and advocate fiercely for the change Watson needs and deserves.

The Greens have a track record of fighting to put people before profits, delivering stronger legislation and holding governments to account.

Your representative in parliament should be actively listening to and working for you, and that is exactly what I will do.
