For the Billions not the Billionaires: 2021 Western Australia election campaign

2021 Western Australia Socialist Alliance Candidates

wacontact@socialist-alliance.org

If elected we will reject the perks of parliamentary office and donate all income above an average worker's wage to campaigns for social change.

Australia is a wealthy country. We have the resources to guarantee everybody a decent life and to take genuine climate action. We are running in this election to help build a movement for people power not corporate power.

We seek your support as a step towards achieving the profound change that is needed and is possible. Our campaign is a contribution to that process. We need your support.

Socialist Alliance has chosen three activist candidates to take its message to Perth’s southern suburbs in the WA state election on Saturday 13 March 2021.
