Samantha Ratnam (Greens)

I’ve dedicated my life to fighting for our community – for a future where no one is left behind and we all have a quality, affordable home, world class services and a safe climate.

My family arrived in Melbourne after the civil war broke out in Sri Lanka with nothing but the suitcases we carried between us. We thrived because we had access to good quality public education and healthcare. I know first hand how strong and supportive communities can change our lives.

Our community can lead the rest of the country. But right now, our Labor representative doesn’t vote in line with our values in the Federal Parliament.

As someone who cares deeply about our community, it is devastating that so many of us are struggling to make ends meet. Labor is backing their corporate donors making billions in profit, and failing to tackle the scale of the cost of living, housing or climate crises we are experiencing. We know Dutton would be worse.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I believe that politics is about choices. We can choose to reform the housing market, make big corporations pay their fair share of tax and use it to fund world class health, education and public services. We can choose to take on the supermarkets and end their price gouging. We can do so much more to end the invasion and occupation of Gaza and end military exports to Israel. We can stop more coal and gas and tackle the climate crisis.

All of this is possible, Labor is just choosing not to.

We have plans to build the biggest people-powered campaign in the country. Labor and the Liberals are funded by big corporations including coal and gas companies and property developers. We have something more powerful: people like you.

So, this is it! If you want to see change, the first step is voting for someone who will fight for you and the things you believe in.

I’d love to have you join me. I hope I can count on your vote.
