Help Stella Yee Defeat Kevin Andrews
Donation protected
I'm involved in the ALP campaign for Menzies at the moment. Menzies is a traditionally safe Liberal seat, and a bunch of us poor Eltham citizens have been re-zoned into it.
It's currently held by Kevin Andrews. He's been the member for 27 years.
It's a bit horrifying.
Kevin Andrews is a far right conservative who supported Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton, helped depose Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister, opposed marriage equality and then refused to vote for the legislation even though he'd called for a referendum, and a plebiscite and his own electorate voted 57% in favour of it. He opposed the banking royal commission numerous times and supported abolishing penalty rates. He doesn't even live in the area.
For the first time in those 27 years this seat is vulnerable.
And, well - to be perfectly honest - I can't stand the man. It would give me no greater pleasure than to be part of a campaign that rids the Australian Parliament of a person like this; a person who has been actively involved in dragging Australian politics into the mud.
Stella Yee is the ALP candidate for Menzies. She's highly qualified (a Masters degree in Public Administration), very personable and experienced, she lives in the area, and has had a very interesting and varied life. A life that means she has a very wide understanding of what makes a country work well.
I'm clearly a bit biased, but I think she's exactly the sort of MP we need for the future. She's not a political machine, but instead someone whose life experiences have been in communities around the world and in Australia.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, because it's a "safe" Liberal Seat, she has to raise all the money herself. It means even getting things like T-Shirts for her campaign team is a struggle.
I want to buy T-Shirts for her campaign. But it's going to cost quite a bit of money.
If you'd like to help me help Stella, and can spare a few dollars, even $10 will really help me out.
Thanks for your time!
