Delia Richardson (Animal Justice Party)

My journey as an animal and environmental advocate began in childhood. Growing up in the Wheatbelt, I quickly realised that farm animals were treated differently from the pets we love and cherish. Animals deserve more than just our compassion, they deserve protection under the law.

With a deep love for native wildlife, I have spent decades protesting native forest logging, writing submissions to preserve what remains of WA’s forests, and volunteering at Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and Native Animal Rescue. Over the past year, I have focused my efforts on saving WA’s last colonies of Little Penguins, fighting to protect these vulnerable animals from habitat destruction and climate change.

“The fight to protect animals and the environment is far from over. We need stronger laws, greater accountability, and real action — not just words.”

I joined the Animal Justice Party after realising that real and lasting change happens through legislative reform. Protests, petitions, and rescues are vital, but without political power, the same cycles of exploitation and destruction continue. That’s why I am running — to ensure animals and the environment have a true voice in Parliament.

Beyond my advocacy for animals, I am deeply committed to social justice. As someone who has lived with, supported, and advocated for a family member with disability, I understand the intersections between ableism and speciesism. Both people with disabilities and animals face oppression in a society that too often prioritises profit over care, and I will fight to ensure that all vulnerable beings receive the dignity, respect, and rights they deserve.

More than anything, I want to protect this world for my daughter—to ensure she grows up in a society that values compassion over cruelty, conservation over destruction, and justice over exploitation.
With postgraduate qualifications in Communications, I am passionate about helping the voiceless be seen and heard—whether they be animals, people, or our fragile environment.

Delia’s Key Priorities in this Election Include:

  • Strengthening animal protection laws, ensuring animals are recognised as sentient beings and that animal abusers are held to account.
  • Protecting WA’s native wildlife, including urgent measures to safeguard the last colonies of Little Penguins.
  • Ending native forest logging, tackling species extinction and preserving WA’s environment for future generations.
  • Fighting for disability rights, advocating for policies that empower people with disabilities and challenge systemic discrimination.

“The time for change is now. If elected, I will be a tireless advocate for animals, people, and the planet, pushing for a future where compassion and justice guide our policies.”

Sarah Nielsen-Harvey (Greens)

I studied law at UWA and ANU and was admitted to practice in 2018. For the past seven years I’ve worked with survivors of child sexual abuse, and I’m proud to assist clients in their pursuit of justice and compensation and through a stressful difficult process.

In 2016, I organised a 40-day long counter-protest to protect abortion rights, and push for safe zones around clinics. 

I will push for affordable housing, education and health services right here in Midland. We can create truly green corridors with safe cycling infrastructure that actually connects services, homes and schools. 

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.
