Hi, I’m Liza
I am so excited to be running as your Greens candidate for Bendigo West
I’m a local mum, community health worker and climate advocate who has lived and worked across Bendigo West and Mount Alexander for over a decade. Running our small fruit farm in Muckleford has given me firsthand insight into how climate pressures and rising living costs are affecting regional families, from food security and housing stress to energy affordability.
My work in community health has shown me the power of listening to local voices and building solutions together. I believe real leadership starts with genuine community engagement, not top-down decisions.
I’m standing for Bendigo West to protect our environment, expand affordable housing, tackle the cost-of-living crisis, and fight for First Nations justice and LGBTQIA+ equality.
Our region deserves leadership that listens deeply, acts courageously, and always puts people before politics.
The Greens track record
In the balance of power in parliament the Greens have secured:
$60 million to protect nature and get homes and businesses off gas
Renting reforms including banning no grounds evictions and rental bidding
5000 more empty homes available by making the tax on empty homes stronger
$150 million for bike lanes and pedestrian safety
Proudly supported the first Treaty in Australia
Stopped the renewal of the MoU with Israeli Ministry of Defence
Imagine what we could do with more power after the next election.
