Esther Forest (Animal Justice Party)

As an artist and filmmaker, I use my creative work to highlight animal liberation and challenge the way society treats animals. Through stop-motion animation, I aim to bring to life the stories of animals often overlooked, using art as a powerful tool for advocacy and change.
But storytelling alone is not enough — real change happens through legislation. That’s why I am standing in this election: to push for stronger legal protections for animals and ensure their rights are recognised and respected.
“Art has the power to inspire, but laws have the power to protect. It’s time to bring compassion into our political system and demand justice for animals.”
Originally from Townsville, Queensland, I have called Perth home for the past 10 years. During that time, I have been a passionate advocate for animal rights, environmental sustainability, and community-driven change. I share my life with two rescue rabbits, and I am particularly committed to raising awareness about the welfare of rabbits, who are too often neglected or dismissed as disposable pets.
I believe in a future where animals are no longer treated as commodities, and where our laws reflect compassion and justice for all living beings. If elected, I will work tirelessly to push for policies that protect animals and hold industries accountable for cruelty and exploitation.
Esther’s Key Priorities in this Election Include:
Legislating protections for small companion animals, ensuring rabbits and other neglected pets receive proper care and legal safeguards.
Strengthening animal protection laws, ensuring animals are recognised as sentient beings with rights.
Ending the exploitation of animals in entertainment, including banning greyhound racing and rodeos.

Jody Freeman (Greens)

I’m a vocational education trainer who’s proud to call Kwinana my home.
Working with disadvantaged young people, I see firsthand how the major parties have created a terrifying future for these students. Severe poverty, housing insecurity, lack of mental health support and the need to take on a lifetime of debt just to access a tertiary education is not the legacy that I want to leave future generations.
In a rich country like Australia, we shouldn’t have to rely on charities to ensure people have access to basic essentials like food, education and shelter. The decisions of the major parties to give billions in handouts to big business and the fossil fuel sector – while ignoring the needs of our communities – continues to cause serious harm and deny people a fair go.
This election we have a real opportunity to get more Greens into parliament to push the government further and faster on issues that matter to us, like urgent action on the cost of living, housing and climate crises.
A better future for WA is possible – but we have to make it happen together.
If you want change, you have to vote for it.
See you out there!
