Carole Stanford (Greens)

I trained in science and computing and I’ve worked in education – teaching in high schools and universities, morphing between roles as a lecturer/tutor and online learning designer, with chemistry research and butterfly farming in between. In academia I’ve explored how people learn, trained teachers and crafted learning experiences for engineers. 

Work and family took me to remote parts of Papua New Guinea and the Cook Islands, and to Queensland and New South Wales. I now live on the Atherton Tablelands. 

My early days spent in rural Victoria and my time in developing countries made me reflect on how other people live and what our real needs are. The overarching issue is how our planet is warming and our climates are changing. This governs everything else – the health of our environment, our food production, supplies and distribution systems; the shelters we have and where we live; our health and our water supplies. They will shape what happens to our children and those to follow.

We have the power to limit bad changes happening around us and work for a healthy future for all of us. What we are missing is politicians with the will to put people and the environment first and say no to new fossil fuel projects.

As an educator I know the remarkable difference the Greens plan to fully fund public schools, wipe HECS debt and make TAFE and university free would make. Our young people deserve the best start in life, and to be given equal opportunities – the quality of your education shouldn’t be defined by your location, or your parent’s income. Children should be given every opportunity to thrive.

Now more than ever we need Greens in Parliament fighting for a future for all of us.
