Green Light Candidates
Sarah Hathaway (Socialist Alliance)
Sarah Hathway is the Socialist Alliance candidate for the Seat of Corio in Geelong.
Sarah is a 34-year-old mum who lives in Corio and works in community mental health services as a social worker. She is a long-term socialist activist and was previously a Councillor for the City of Greater Geelong.
While on Council Sarah advocated strongly for Palestine and against Council support for local arms manufacturing, won the right to have a council property retained for social housing rather than private sale and supported community campaigns against the waste incinerator at Lara and the gas import terminal in Corio Bay.
She said, “Both major parties are committing $368 billion to AUKUS and redundant nuclear-powered submarines as frontline services are under resourced and inadequate. We need politicians who will fight for public services and relief from cost-of-living pressures, not weapons manufacturing.” Sarah will campaign for community need not war and greed.
Emilie Flynn (Greens)
I’m a dedicated advocate for climate action, affordable housing, and a sustainable future. With experience in education, community and climate work, I bring a smart, honest voice to drive change and tackle our biggest challenges head-on.
As one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions, the Corio electorate is at a crossroads. I believe we must choose a path that prioritises sustainable development, equitable housing, and better transport options, ensuring all residents – especially the most vulnerable – can thrive. I’m committed to stopping harmful projects like the Lara incinerator and new gas infrastructure while pushing for climate-focused policies that protect our environment and community.
I’m a former teacher, volunteer with local food banks and Community Centres and champion of social causes. I bring authenticity, compassion, and a vision for a sustainable future to my work, ready to deliver the change Geelong urgently needs. Vote 1 Greens.
