Hi, I’m Clayton. I’m running in this year’s council election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists because I want to help build a fair and equal society. Everyone deserves access to high quality and affordable housing, well-funded public healthcare and ample green space. Residents of Stonnington need leaders who put their interests before those of greedy landlords and big business.
I’m a South Yarra local. I work in retail as a kitchen expert and I’m a member of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA).
Green and public space should be woven into our urban fabric in South Yarra, but politicians are increasingly selling off land to large property developers who build for profit, not for human need. An inflationary crisis is pushing workers and the poor to cut down on basic goods, while the rich continue to accumulate wealth above and beyond the average person. This is disgraceful.
I’ve been an activist for years, campaigning around many progressive causes and for social justice, including the fight to oppose Israel’s war on Gaza. I know how to stand firmly against inequality and bigotry.
If elected in October, I’ll fight for you.
