Green Light Candidates

Hi, I’m Helen Wright

I am privileged to be chosen as your Greens candidate for Newland. Having lived in the North Eastern suburbs for 30 years, I know the concerns of the local community. I’m running because all Australians should have equal access to high quality education, health services, housing and jobs. The Greens seek to serve the needs of all people, not just those with influence or power.    

The Greens continue to push for free dental health care and other essential health services since good health promotes a successful economy and a good functioning society. Underpinning the need for a healthy, happy and financially productive society is the very real need to constructively address the needs of climate change.  The Greens are committed to achieving this without delay, while minimising the impact on jobs and the cost of living.  

I am pragmatic and caring: politics should be about and for people; if elected I would be honoured to represent you.

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.
