phillip island talks sustainability

It was great to talk to Phillip Island community members along with Neil Rankine, Greens Lower House candidate for Bass, at the Sustainability Festival in Cowes.
















Samantha Dunn and Neil Rankine talk sustainability down at Phillip Island.

Community members were keen to speak to Neil and myself about the lack of infrastructure at a local level, but at a broader level about the lack of action on Climate Change.

The desalination plant in Wonthaggi dominated conversation, it would be the issue that people were keenly concerned about, recognising that there were far more sensible water solutions for Melbourne.

I heard more than once, people say "I've voted Labor all my life, but this time I'm not going to". The Greens got a terrific welcome from locals who are looking for accountability and innovation from government.

More and more people are seeing that Greens values are mainstream values and that we offer a positive plan for Victoria.
