I don’t have to tell you that politics is cooked at the moment, especially for young people.
As the youngest MP and one of the only renters in parliament, I’ve been shocked at how little Labor and the Liberals care about people like us. The major parties are waving through $8.4 billion of tax cuts for people on $180,000 or more, and $39 billion of tax breaks for property investors–every single year. And young people are bearing the brunt, as rents and house prices skyrocket.
So, yes–unfortunately, my time as your MP has only convinced me even more that politics sucks and needs a complete shake-up. But it’s also given me so much hope that the changes we need are absolutely possible. I’ve met so many talented, passionate young Brisbanites who are ready for fresh ideas.
I asked for your views in my Youth Survey, and over 1000 people responded. You let me know what you want me to fight for as your MP.
I will be joined by Senator Larissa Waters and Greens Candidate for McConnel, Holstein Wong, to unpack your feedback (there are a few surprises in there!), and discuss ideas to shake up the current political scene.
Don't miss this chance to be part of the conversation and the solution. See you there!
