Green Light Candidates
Hi, I’m Hayden Shaw
I’m running for Port Adelaide to stand up for our coast, our climate and our community. Together, we can protect the places we love and build a cleaner, fairer future.
I’ve seen how state government decisions affect our local environment—from the ongoing algal bloom choking our coast to the quiet handover of public land that locks out the community and damages native habitat. These choices erode our beaches and our connection to Country; they neglect the values Port Adelaide was built on: hard work, solidarity and care for people and place. I want to see those values reflected in decisions that restore our coastline, create secure clean-energy jobs, and protect our community from environmental and military risks.
My experience working in small business as a financial professional, service in the Australian Army, and as a volunteer in community and sporting organisations has allowed me to get to know many South Australians and understand what our community expects from elected representatives.
Our major parties have ignored the climate crisis and backed polluting industries, turning a blind eye to the toxic algal bloom devastating our coast and killing marine life. Labor and the Liberals both support AUKUS and gas expansion instead of real investment in clean water, renewable energy and community wellbeing. I’m running to give Port Adelaide a genuine alternative—someone who will always put our community and its future first.
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.
