Vote for me
Just a quick letter to bring your readers attention to the fact that they could make history this Federal election.
A Greens candidate has never won a seat in the House of Representatives (Lower House) during a Federal election.
Whilst I am clearly the underdog in this election, I could win if I get enough primary and preferential votes.
Given the poor form of the major parties; the back-flips, back-stabbing and public disgraces; I believe the Peninsula community will be looking for an alternative; someone with integrity who is prepared to stand up and fight for them.
If I do win, I may well control the balance of power in the Lower House and will use this power to get better outcomes for the Peninsula and the people I serve.
