As a dedicated voice for animals, people and the planet - I am deeply committed to protecting the natural environment and building a more compassionate society, together. Whether it be as a Local Government Councillor (City of Swan) or by leading a door-knocking campaign for local wildlife, I have given years to the causes close to my heart.
Vehicles, roads and internal combustion engines have disastrous side effects for animals, the environment and people. The Animal Justice Party (AJP) recognises that Australia needs a national shift away from road transport and toward other more environmentally-friendly modes, including all forms of rail and mass transit, together with walking and cycling. This shift needs to be concurrent with changes in urban and inter-city planning and development, with the wellbeing of animals and people factored into the design.

I’m Renée, your community independent candidate for the upcoming state election.  My focus has always been on making a difference to our community, not on pursuing political ambitions - but I can no longer stand by while our local priorities are ignored. Over eight years on Council, I’ve listened closely to your hopes and concerns and shared your vision for a bright future. As Bassendean Mayor, I worked hard to make meaningful progress, but it’s become clear that achieving real change also demands action at the state level.
Party politics isn’t working for us. Time and again, what is important to our community is overlooked by the State Government. That’s why I’m stepping up - to bring attention to our local priorities.

We need a genuine alternative that is loyal to our community, not to a party, one that puts people and the planet first, stands up for our shared values, and is serious about tackling our biggest issues with integrity.
In March, we have the power to make change. Let’s vote differently, and build a more hopeful, stronger, community-led future together.
