Emma Rush

Candidate for Wagga City Council

I have lived in Wagga Wagga since 2009, working as a lecturer at Charles Sturt University teaching ethics and philosophy.

I am passionate about improving social justice and environmental outcomes for all who live here.

As someone with caring responsibilities in both directions (parents and young adult step-children), I appreciate the pressures that families are under.

As a Greens councillor, I would advocate for collective, structural solutions to the climate crisis that will protect our children's future. I am an active member of the National Tertiary Education Union, and outside of work, I enjoy dancing and roller-skating.

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.
