Matt Maber (Greens)
I’m running because I care about Dunkley and the people here. Growing up, I saw working-class families and renters like myself pushed out as costs soared. Many of my friends can no longer afford to live in the place they grew up. The system is failing us, and I’m stepping up to change it. I’m not a career politician—I’m one of you, committed to building a fairer society where Dunkley gets the attention it deserves.
Dunkley is home to hard-working people—renters, small business owners, and families. We share a common struggle: rising costs and a housing crisis. Many of us are working longer hours, yet we can’t keep up. If you’re worried about the cost of living, housing or climate, you’re not alone. In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics: a home, food and world class health and education. And we should be taking strong action on the climate and environment crisis, not backing more coal and gas. While you pay more, one in three big corporations pay zero tax.
More Greens will keep Dutton out and get Labor to act. If you want change, the first step is to vote for it. This time, vote 1 Greens.
TRAFFIC LIGHT VOTING GUIDE ASSESSMENT WARNINGTRAFFIC 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.
