The Victorian Greens are thrilled to announce Sianan Healy as the candidate for Nepean in the May by-election, as she puts cost of living, housing and climate action on the top of the agenda.
As a Mornington Peninsula local and a mum, Sianan speaks to locals everyday who are raising children in our public schools, working in local health services, schools, arts and hospitality, sometimes struggling to pay bills or rent.
She says that her community deserves a strong representative who will put their needs ahead of corporate profits, fight for the issues they care about and be their progressive voice in Parliament.
Locally, Sianan is committed to fighting for:
- Protecting green spaces and local waters from overdevelopment or drilling,
- Properly funding Rosebud Hospital
- More affordable and appropriate housing that meets community needs
Sianan works for a non-profit in women's health and has a background in research and education in the university sector.
Sianan says we can't risk Liberals and One Nation who will work for their corporate donors, not their community.
The Nepean community deserves a progressive voice who will fight for them on the cost of living, housing, health and climate action.
As stated by Greens candidate for Nepean, Sianan Healy:
"I come from a family of teachers and union members who instilled in me the value of service to the community and caring for our environment. These are the values that underpin all that I do and are my motivation for representing the Greens in Nepean."
"Big corporations are ripping off our community and making massive profits. The Liberals and One Nation won't stand up to big corporations when they're funded by them. Victorians deserve better. The Greens know people want change - and we'll fight for it."
