Gideon Cordover for Huon: 3 points!

Gideon Cordover is the Tasmanian Greens Candidate for Huon in the Legislative Council elections 2022. 
Here's why Gideon is running for the upper house of the state parliament: 

I love living in Huon. I know we can achieve better housing, health, transport and climate action outcomes. Yet the failing major parties continue accepting dark money from corporate donors, putting profits before people. In the Legislative Council, the Greens will reform political donations laws to clean up politics.

Sadly, both major parties are pushing for draconian anti-protest laws. Just like the major parties betrayed us on pokies reform, they are now going after our right to peacefully protest. If we aren’t allowed to protest our government's decisions, then we aren’t truly free. Whoever represents Huon will be casting a critical vote on this issue. I pledge to protect us from anti-democratic legislation. 

I will continue Dr Bastian Seidel’s positive legacy by putting the spotlight on healthcare in Huon. We are advocating for an Urgent Care Centre for the state’s south and a staffed ambulance station for the Channel. It is shocking that we are still forced to wait weeks to secure a GP appointment in Huon more than two years into a global pandemic. Primary prevention and access to GP services should have been fixed by now. We deserve better and Greens in the upper house will fight to deliver urgent health investment. 

The Greens believe housing is a human right. A massive public investment in energy-efficient, new social housing is necessary along with stronger renters' rights to protect tenants. We will encourage hundreds of new jobs for Huon in climate action like solar on rooftops and EV infrastructure.
