Green Light Candidates
Hi, I’m Danielle Every
I’m proud to be your Greens candidate for Ngadjuri. I’m running to deliver accessible healthcare including mental health and dental, secure regional jobs through climate action, and to get big money out of politics so our communities come first.
I’m standing for Ngadjuri because I grew up in a rural community and understand both the strength and the strain regional areas carry. This electorate sits on the lands of the Ngadjuri people, whose deep connection to Country reminds us that caring for land and community must go hand in hand.
Ngadjuri is built on strong agricultural industries, small businesses and community networks. But climate change, rising costs and workforce shortages are putting increasing pressure on all of us. We need practical solutions shaped by local voices, including women, young people, migrants and First Nations communities.
Most of my working life has been as a teacher and researcher in tertiary education. I’ve worked alongside communities to build collective wellbeing, respond to climate change, and strengthen support for vulnerable people. I bring experience in listening carefully, working across differences, and developing practical, evidence-based solutions.
I’m running because the major parties continue to put corporate profits ahead of people. Divisive politics weaken rural communities – they don’t strengthen them. Ngadjuri thrives when we work together. As a Greens candidate, I will fight for affordable healthcare, climate action that creates local jobs, and integrity in politics so our region can face the future with fairness, resilience and hope.
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.
- Stop new coal and gas.
- Expand publicly-owned renewable energy.
- End the billions in handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations.
- End native forest logging.
- Lower power bills by transitioning to more reliable, clean energy.
- Subsidise solar & batteries for homes & businesses.
- End fossil fuel subsidies for all industries except agriculture.
- Save koalas and our wildlife from extinction.
- Create thousands of jobs during the transition.
- Provide grants and low-interest loans to help households and small businesses electrify, install solar batteries, and cut emissions and energy bills.
