Janet Castle

Candidate for Werriwa

Everyone should be able to afford the basics. But while you're working harder than ever, 1 in 3 big corporations pay no tax.

We can't keep voting for the same two parties and expecting a different result. Dutton will take us backwards and Labor is tinkering on the edges. And both major parties take millions in donations from the corporations ripping you off.
 
There is another choice. We can make billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share of tax to fund the things we all need.

I’ve worked extensively in the disability sector, with people who are ageing, and for 19 years supporting and advocating for people seeking asylum. I currently head up Bridge for Asylum Seekers, a not for profit that provides living allowances for otherwise destitute people seeking asylum.

Together, we can:

  • Build public homes, and stop unlimited rent and mortgage hikes. We'll pay for it by phasing out negative gearing and other tax breaks for wealthy investors. 

  • Tax big corporations to pay for your education, wipe all student debt and boost funding to out public schools.

  • Make it free to see a GP, dentist, nurse or psychologist at one of 1,000 new free healthcare clinics. 

  • Stand up to Coles and Woolies by making it illegal for big corporations to charge excessive prices. 

  • Stand up for action on climate. Since coming to office, Labor has approved 26 new coal and gas projects. With more Greens, we can stand up against the fossil fuel corporations and bring energy costs down. 

Together we can create a fairer and cleaner future for all of us.
