Bashir Sawalha

Candidate for Bayside - Ward 4

A well known respected community figure, I seek your support for the upcoming council election. My dedication to environmental sustainability and social justice is deeply rooted in our local community.

Born and raised in Palestine, I have a passion for social justice. I have lived in Bayside for 13 years. As a local resident, migrant and father of four, I know how tough it can be to make ends meet. A top priority for me is to deliver more for those in need in our community.

The Greens work for clean politics, a vibrant community, social justice, and a sustainable environment. As a founding member of the local Greens, I aim for a livable city that celebrates our rich cultures.

From grassroots initiatives to leadership roles, my hands-on experience reflects a commitment to eco-friendly policies. I've actively engaged in projects aligned with Green Party principles, demonstrating my passion for a greener and more equitable future right here in our constituency.

Recognising the local nuances, my focus extends beyond environmental concerns to address specific issues within our community. I'm eager to collaborate with fellow residents and party members, working towards sustainable solutions tailored to our unique needs.

Moreover, my advocacy work in social justice encompasses local challenges, emphasizing equality, diversity, and inclusion. I am devoted to ensuring our community thrives with fairness, equity, and a harmonious balance between environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Your support will enable us to build a resilient and vibrant local future together.

WE’RE CAMPAIGNING FOR…

Protecting our Environment

Greens Councillors have a long history of standing up for the environment – often when nobody else will.

Tackling the Housing Crisis

The housing crisis is breaking people, and governments at all levels are tinkering around the edges instead of making the big changes we need to address housing affordability.

Bringing Down the Cost of Living

We are in a cost-of-living crisis, and local governments should be doing what they can to ensure that everyday people can afford to get by.

TOGETHER, WE’RE POWERFUL.

People want strong action on the cost of living and climate crises, and a council that represents their values.

Unlike Labor and the Coalition, we don't take corporate donations. The Greens are powered by people like you.
