Hi I’m Cameron. I’m running in this year’s council election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists because I believe in a society that puts people before profit.
I’m a Preston local and have lived in the area for many years. I’ve been a teacher and unionist for most of my working life and fought for secure jobs and improved conditions for educators.
The cost-of-living crisis is drastically impacting people in our community. I want a council that addresses high rents and other issues that make life harder for Darebin residents, that ensures developers provide affordable and liveable housing, and that provides quality and accessible public services for all.
Massive redevelopment is planned for High St, and this should be for the benefit of the community, not just profits for investors. I’m for the public acquisition of Preston market, as what happens to this heart of Preston shouldn’t be decided by billionaire property developers.
I've been a community organiser and activist for nearly two decades. In recent times, I’ve campaigned in solidarity with the people of Palestine, and as part of the campaign to save Preston market.
If elected in October, I’ll fight for our community and a better world.
