Brad Scott

The Australian Greens candidate for Bowman

Company Director

Why I am standing

I ran as candidate in the State election last year and believe that voters should have the opportunity to vote Greens in every election. I decided to run for the Federal election to further promote our great policies. I also want to show the electorate that we are not a one-issue party, but a responsible and viable alternative for government.

Important issues in my electorate

The health care system, especially with regard to elderly care will be a big issue in the Bowman electorate. We need more beds, residents and carers to cope with the number of elderly in the district. Public transport also needs upgrading and co-ordinating with large numbers of people moving to the area yet no plan for rail or light rail on the horizon. The effects of climate change and the negative effects of over development on the environment also needs urgent attention before all our wildlife (especially koalas) disappear.
