Candidates who spoke on the night included Richard di Natale- The Greens Senate Candidate, Steve Meacher – Greens candidate for McEwen, David Jones – Greens Upper House Candidate for Northern Victoria and Huw Slater – Greens candidate for Seymour. Community members from near and far came out to support the launch and the Greens campaign.

Richard, a general practitioner and international public health specialist, has a keen understanding of the issues that impact on our health system. David was a councillor and mayor in the City of Greater Bendigo and has a wealth of experience representing community, Steve Meacher is well known to the people of the McEwen electorate and participates in many community based groups across the region, whilst Huw Slater, a local boy from Chum Creek, understands the things that matter to people in the electorate of Seymour.

All spoke with passion about the community and the issues affecting their respective electorates. They are a high calibre group of candidates and the community will be seeing much more of them as the Greens hit the ground running.
