I want your vote so that together we can create a government that represents all of Australia, not just the privileged and giant corporations.

I have stood outside Parliament House to fight for change, and I will stand inside and fight even harder.

The Greens have a plan to make big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share to fund the things we all need - tackling the cost of living, helping renters, adding dental and mental health into Medicate, and taking strong action on the climate crisis.

While people are doing it tough, 1 in 3 big corporations pay no tax. And the most vulnerable have been shafted, with JobSeeker and other income support payments still well below the poverty line.

Things can change, but you need to vote for it.

Hi, I'm Avery, and I’m the Greens candidate for Fowler.

I’m running because I believe that Parliament can and should do more for us. Everyone deserves to have a home, food, and world class health and education - I’ve seen those goals get harder than ever over the last few years.

Five Years Ago, Scott Morrison Doubled the JobSeeker Payment. It Changed Avery’s Life.

"To not increase payments accepts thousands of deaths that are needless. And we call that social murder." @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org talking to Crystal Andrews of @crikey.com.au

β€˜We call that social murder’: Five years on from COVID supplement payments, more of us live in poverty
Five years ago Scott Morrison doubled JobSeeker payments, temporarily shielding millions from poverty. As costs rise and poverty rates worsen, why can't the government do that again?
