Greens announce federal candidate

25th Mar 2025

A former teacher, activist and conservationist from Muswellbrook has been announced as the Greens’ candidate for New England at the 2025 Federal election.
Wendy Wales is known for her community contributions and passion for instilling a love of the environment and learning to students at Muswellbrook High School.
She has campaigned on environmental issues in the region for more than 20 years, and also has connections to Armidale having studied education at the University of New England.
Ms Wales said that she is deeply disturbed by the current global situation yet greatly inspired by the Greens’ ground breaking policy platforms.
“We know the climate crisis is the compelling existential issue of our times compounded by the rising cost of living and how that is impacting everyone, every day,” she said.
“That’s why the Greens have plans to provide affordable housing, stop supermarket price gouging, put dental and mental health into Medicare, make visits to the doctor free and take strong action on the climate crisis.”
“We can make these changes by making big corporations pay more, so that ordinary Australians don’t have to. It’s about ensuring the billionaires and big business pay their share to make it fairer for everyone.”
“This election is a one-in-a-generation chance to make meaningful changes to the way governments in Australia work.”

Going strong for 100 years
