Greens: Mira Wroblewski

I'm a self-employed natural therapist with a Bachelors Degree in Applied Science and over 10 years' experience as a hospital scientist.

I moved to the Central Coast in 2003 because of its natural beauty.

Overdevelopment is a major issue on the Peninsula.

Massive donations by real estate developers to both major parties have resulted in a planning system that is biased against the community.

I believe that the urban and regional built environments will continue to degrade unless there is an overhaul of the current laws, codes and practices.

This will not be possible until there is a complete ban on developer donations to political parties.

Residents of the Peninsula, and local commuters, have spoken to me about the increasing problems with traffic in the area and poor public transport.

I will campaign strongly for affordable public transport and extending concession fares and integrated ticketing.

The Greens have consistently lobbied the NSW Labor Government to maintain and expand the CountryLink Rail service and increase funding for rail safety and maintenance.

I believe this will help residents of the Peninsula by reducing traffic congestion and make commuting by train more efficient and more pleasant.

I am strongly opposed to Australian Workplace Agreements because they reduce workers' conditions and wages.

I am a strong supporter of public health and public education.

I started a local group of Rural Australians for Refugees and I continue to campaign for the just treatment of refugees in Australia.

I have been an outspoken opponent of the war in Iraq.

I will promote the Greens' environmental, social and economic policies because they ensure a safe and sustainable future for our children.

I believe that a strong Greens presence in the Senate is vital to protect our environment, workers' rights and social justice.
