How to VOTE 1 Victorian Socialists in Scullin
Hi, I’m Omar.
I’m a teacher working in public schools in Melbourne’s north. I’ve seen first hand how our community has been neglected by both Liberal and Labor governments.
The majority of Scullin residents are working-class people struggling with out of control inflation and high rents and interest rates. We need a government that takes real action to improve living standards, and to provide the services we need to give our kids a chance in life.
The Labor Party has held this seat since it was created more than 50 years ago. Many have supported them because they claimed to be a party that would fight for workers and migrants, and stand for peace. But Labor has betrayed that promise.
Today, the party prioritises the interests of big business over its working-class supporters. And in the past two years, Labor has supported and enabled the genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people.
They don’t deserve to represent the people of Scullin anymore. That's why I'm running to represent Scullin at this year's federal election.
I’ve spent many years campaigning for more funding for hospitals, schools, public transport and public housing. I have also been fighting for the Palestinian cause for decades, and have helped organise many pro-Palestine rallies and events since the beginning of the latest war.
At the upcoming federal election, I want to give you a real alternative to more Labor betrayal.
