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.
