"I have been the voice of public housing tenants in my area on Yarra  Council for 16 years. I led the successful fight against the then Liberal State government from selling off the public open green space on the Fitzroy and North Richmond public housing estates. I am currently involved in the ongoing  campaign on Yarra’s estates for adequate Covid-protection for resident, for the heritage listing of the Fitzroy estate to better protect it from a sell-off and numerous day-to-day issues from cockroaches, to broken laundries etc etc."
