I was diagnosed with cancer in 2010, and again in 2013. I was treated at the old Footscray Hospital and at Peter Mac, and I was cleared in 2019.
I know what it’s like to wait for a scan and what it costs to travel for care when you’re unwell.
I found out today when talking to my community, and a doctor who works there, that the new $1.5 billion Footscray Hospital has a state-of-the-art PET scanner that clinicians say is sitting idle because there’s no funding to staff it. Patients are being sent to private facilities instead.
The government built the hospital and bought the machine. Funding the people to run it is what makes it work for patients.
Melbourne’s west has waited too long. I’m calling on the Victorian Government to fund the staff and open that scanner now. If I’m elected, I’ll keep fighting for Essendon, Niddrie and the whole west.

I recently attended Ellen Sandell MPs campaign launch as a guest speaker and a friend, what a lovely launch, what an amazing leader. If you live in the electorate of Melbourne please support Ellen in ensuring she is re-elected on the 28th of November.

So happy to support my friend Ellen at her campaign launch recently. The Treaty for Victoria was personally so important to me, you can see me getting emotional. I've been a member of the First People s Assembly for 5 years, Labor worked with us to progress the Treaty, but they didnt have the number in the upper house. My Greens friends supported Labor to pass the Treaty for this place, thank you my friends and colleagues, and especially you Ellen

Hi all, MV Greens here, would you like to host a yard sign, a coreflute on your fence, please go here http://victoriangreens.org/host-a-sign and our massive/tiny team running on the smell of a solar panel will put one up for you, we run on the smell of a solar panel BC we dont take dodgy donations from Billionaires. NO I'm gonna say it, we don't take bribes and are not bought and owned by big business, there I said it. We serve our community. It's Uncle James BTW

They spread the word, and more importantly, they demonstrate strong community support for the Greens. That’s far more powerful than any expensive billboard or Facebook ad.

I'm just learning that Labor have yet again parachuted in a candidate from outside of my community for the State election, the preselection is completed and I am just disgusted about what they are doing. Essendon deserves local representation - not another Captain's pick

Many people in this electorate still remember 2014, when Danny Pearson was preselected for Essendon after growing up in Melbourne's east, in Wantirna. Over a decade later, the pattern is set to repeat.

Labor's new candidate for Essendon, Katerine Theodosis, is currently a Merri-bek councillor who lives in Hadfield. In her own 2024 submission to the AEC, she described herself as "a lifelong resident of Wills" with deep ties to Pascoe Vale, Hadfield, and the Merri-bek community, and spoke of an eight-year relationship with her federal MP, Peter Khalil. None of the suburbs she named are in Essendon of course.

Her preselection is reportedly being finalised through Labor's national executive rather than a vote of local branch members. Over 100 local Labor members recently passed a motion, with around 60% support, calling for a genuine local ballot - some have said they'll withhold campaign support like corflutes and how-to-vote cards in protest.

This isn't really about any one candidate. It's about a preselection process that keeps producing the same outcome: decisions made by party officials in Melbourne, not by the communities being represented. When that happens, voters are left choosing between candidates chosen for the party, rather than candidates chosen by the community, the members of Parliament don't represent our community as our democracy was designed, they represent an organisation that represents us, the MP doesn't represent us, this has to stop

Essendon deserves a representative who already lives here, understands this community's daily concerns - the Mt Alexander Road intersections, the Buckley Street level crossing, the loss of planning rights under Labor's activity centre reforms - because they've lived through them too, not read about them in a briefing.

That's the choice in front of Essendon on the 28th of November.

Vote 1 Uncle James Williams Greens for Essendon, I'm from here, I have lived here for 20 years, and I am running to serve you, my community, and not a political party.

I'm our Greens candidate, but we are not like the two old parties, my party actively supports me to work for my community, I don't have to "tow the party line" as others claim, we actively fight for and stand up for our community as is what our democracy is mean to do, and I will do that for you.
