Glenroy

What motivated you to run as a candidate for Broadmeadows at this state election?

Well, uh, uh, part of the Broadmeadows electorate includes the northern suburbs of Merri-bek, which is Fawkner, Hadfield and Glenroy, where I've sort of done a lot of work on various issues, as well as the suburbs of Broadmeadows, Coolaroo, Dallas and Campbellfield.

And this election, it's really important for the s-socialists to put forward Socialist Alliance and Victorian socialists to put forward an alternative, a left alternative to the major parties.

Uh, it's really important that people vote towards the left and not towards the right, towards a so-called fake anti-establishment candidate, namely One Nation, because One Nation is being promoted by the media as if you want to vote against the major parties, you have... should vote this way, they're anti-establishment.

They're deliberately putting the blame for everything under the sun on migrants because it's a way of distracting people from who is causing the problems in society.

It's the capitalist class, people like Gina Rinehart.

I mean, there are a lot of attacks that are happening and they're in Glenroy, which is part, the northern part of Merri-bek.

There was, you know, a few months ago, a woman who was wearing the niqab was doing her regular supermarket shop in the Glenroy Coles with her partner and this man came up and was making the most horrifically racist things towards her, describing her as being like a post box, "Can I put a letter through the slot in your eyes?" Blah, blah.
