Hi, I’m Brett Ferris

I’m honoured to be your Greens candidate for Lee. I’m running because our community deserves to be represented by someone who will stand up for our environment, our public services and a fairer future for all of us.  

I have been an Educator and active unionist for the past 20 years, serving as a workplace union representative, a delegate to Australian Education Union (AEU) Branch Council and Branch Executive, and as an AEU Officer.

I moved to Semaphore South 2 years ago and immediately loved the strong community, amazing local businesses, vibrant events and festivals, and stunning beaches. This year, however, I have seen the impact of the algal bloom on our local neighbourhoods. This has affected both trade for beachside businesses, cafes and restaurants, and our enjoyment of the beach. The government needs to rigorously follow the science and take action now to reduce the occurrences of damaging environmental crises like the algal bloom. 

The Greens will continue to hold the government to account, pushing for greater education resources, more community-based primary healthcare, increased investment in clean energy infrastructure, and access to affordable housing for those who need it. 

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.
