Green Light Candidates

Hi, I’m Samantha Skinner

I’m running to deliver climate action, social justice, and genuine democracy for Wright. Our community deserves policies shaped by people, not corporate donors, and a future that is fair, secure, and sustainable.

I was raised in Wright and have lived in the electorate on and off for more than four decades. I bought my first home here earlier in life and, like many people, no longer have that security. I understand firsthand the pressures facing our community — housing stress, insecure work, rising living costs, and the struggle to access essential services. Everyone in Wright deserves to live with dignity, stability, and connection, regardless of their income or circumstances.

I bring over 30 years’ experience across advocacy, community engagement, campaign coordination, and public sector and not-for-profit work. As a volunteer, I have led statewide campaigns on housing justice, fair welfare, and dignity for people experiencing financial hardship. I have extensive experience in media and public speaking, volunteer coordination, and inclusive leadership, supported by formal media training and a strong administrative and governance background.

Major parties continue to prioritise corporate interests over people and planet. I am running to give Wright a strong, principled Greens voice that is accountable to the community. My advocacy is grounded in lived experience, evidence-based policy, and collective decision-making. I will fight for urgent climate action, a just transition, genuinely affordable housing, and a political system that works for all of us. 

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.
