Green Light Candidates

Hi, I’m John Photakis

I’m a disability support worker and community organiser. I’m running with the Greens because I want to fight for social justice.

I’ve grown up in Adelaide’s South and been involved in many local groups. I am deeply committed to representing Greens values whether that be in the workplace, at education institutions or out in the community. I’ve worked as a cook, an administrative assistant and currently as a disability support worker and I’ve volunteered in community gardens, community centres and local advocacy groups.

From early on, I’ve been passionate about representing the people around me. I was elected to student council at Flinders University, participated in Student Voice and Tafe SA, Chair of my local community forum for 5 years and I’ve run as a candidate in Local, State and Federal elections.

Labor and Liberal critique each other while large corporations make massive profits and pay no tax, the Greens see a different future. The Greens believe the rich and powerful need to pay their fair share and ensure essential services make life better for you.

The Greens want toensure more public housing built and maintained by the public builder, make ambulance cover free for concession holders, introduce free school breakfasts and lunches and advocate the public provision of essential services.

This moment demands strong climate action.

If you’re worried about the climate crisis, you’re not alone.

Millions of us are worried about rising power bills, environmental destruction and protecting our families from extreme weather. 

Labor has approved over 25 more coal and gas projects while in office, while the Liberals’ commitment to fossil fuels remains stronger than ever.

Both take millions in donations from coal and gas corporations to fund their election campaigns. They’re working for their donors, not for people, our planet or the future.

With the Greens in the balance of power in the Senate, this parliament has a real opportunity to deliver strong climate action. 

Our plan for ambitious climate action

Our wins on climate and clean energy have shown what’s possible. Now it’s time to push further and lead the world in the move away from coal and gas.

1. Stop new coal and gas.
2. Expand publicly-owned renewable energy.
3. End the billions in handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations.
4. End native forest logging.
5. Lower power bills by transitioning to more reliable, clean energy.
6. Subsidise solar & batteries for homes & businesses.
7. End fossil fuel subsidies for all industries except agriculture.
8. Save koalas and our wildlife from extinction.
9. Create thousands of jobs during the transition.
10. Provide grants and low-interest loans to help households and small businesses electrify, install solar batteries, and cut emissions and energy bills.
