Hi I’m Ian. I’m running in this year’s council election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists because I believe that local councils should fight for the interests of working-class people instead of serving the interests of big business and the super-rich. Building a better and fairer society begins on a local level. If elected I hope to use this position to address the housing and cost of living crisis being suffered by the majority.
I’m a Wyndham local and have lived in the area for close to 20 years. I’ve been a community organiser and activist that's been involved in campaigns against racism and fascism. In recent times, I’ve campaigned in solidarity with the people of Palestine and against Israel’s war in Gaza. I believe councils should be a place where questions of social justice are raised and acted on.
If elected in October, I’ll fight for our community and for the better world that we need and deserve.
