Just to be clear... I am NOT currently an endorsed candidate for the Greens Party.

No matter what any pop-ups or any headings of previous articles say, currently - 2011 now - I am not an endorsed candidate for any election. If (and maybe when) that changes in the next year or two or three, I will let you all know.

So if you see old entries on this web site that still say I am a candidate, just take that as the historical date it is!

2011 is a quieter year here in Victoria .... but there are a new round of elections just waiting to kick in:

2012 - local council elections.

2013 - Federal election

2014 - Victorian state election

Here is my election campaign schedule up till the week of the election. I have already been to one meet the candidates forum in Berwick (run by World Vision, and on "the parties policies regarding fighting poverty and attaining the Milennium Development Goals"). There are 5 more (numbered 2-6 below) in the next 3 weeks!

Child obesity is a tragic reality for more and more kids. Likewise teenage abuse of alcohol (and the harm it is doing).

I am really at a loss to understand the Australian fear and obsession about boat people.

The preselection process went smoothly and there was a positive feel about the whole process. The 7 candidates were all terrific and one thing became very clear as we travelled around to various locations to "meet the grass root members of the Party": it really did not matter which one of us ended up preselected because all 7 of us were competent and good!
 

It ain't easy being Green

The Age Newspaper did an insightful article on the Greens in Parliament today. Victoria has 3 Greens members in the Upper House. 3 out of 40. We have none in the lower house. 0 out of 88. Interesting figures since the greens get 10% of the vote now across Victoria. I remember when the Greens were up for election in 2006. There was all the usual propaganda and panic about "Don't vote for the extreme Greens!" "They will ruin the state!". "If they get the balance of power, we'll all be ruined!". You might remember the nonesense.
