Macca and Paul talk to Dr Sarah Mansfield, Dep Leader Vic Greens, MLC Western VIC, about major planning reform to fundamentally change affordable housing in VIC + how VIC dealt with anti-vilification laws.
Prior to entering Parliament, Sarah worked as a general practitioner. She has experience working with people experiencing homelessness and in aged care, and she served as a councillor at the City of Greater Geelong from 2017 until she was elected to state parliament.
As a GP, she could see that the things that have the biggest impact on people’s health and wellbeing are our social and physical environment. They aren’t things that can be addressed in a clinic, they require systemic change by government. She sought to do this through her role as a councillor, but over the years she became increasingly frustrated, seeing her region being left behind by state governments. There was only so much that could be achieved at local government level on issues critical for our health and wellbeing, like improved public transport, affordable housing, access to healthcare and essential services, and action on the climate crisis. These issues are what prompted her to run for Parliament.
