The Illawarra Greens local branch includes Greens Party members from Otford to Shellharbour. We work together to campaigns for economic and social justice, ecological sustainability, peace and non-violence and grassroots democracy. The Illawarra covers the Federal electorate of Cunningham and part of the electorate of Whitlam (formerly known as 'Throsby'). A local Greens member, Michael Organ, became the first member of the Greens to win a seat in the House of Representatives when he won the Cunningham by-election in 2002 -- he served until 2004. At State Level, the Illawarra Greens cover the electorates of Heathcote, Keira, Shellharbour and Wollongong. In 2011 the first Greens Councillors were elected to Wollongong City Council - Jill Merrin (Ward 1) and George Takacs (Ward 2). In 2017 we elected two councillors to Wollongong Council: Mithra Cox in Ward 1 and Cath Blakey in Ward 2.

In Wollongong, rough sleeping has increased by 86% since 2023 alone and in the latest NSW street count, Wollongong experienced some of the highest annual increases in people sleeping rough statewide.

More than a third of renting households were experiencing rental stress at the last Census, and Anglicare’s latest report found virtually no affordable rentals for people relying on income support in the Illawarra.

That’s what makes the Minns Labor Government’s decision to sell off the majority of land historically used to house those most in need so incredibly disappointing. Rather than seize this opportunity to deliver more housing for key workers, people living with disability and those on low incomes, the government is instead prioritising the sale of public land to private developers.

As David Shoebridge says "We’re in a critical moment.

The deal between people and our government has broken down. People want a positive vision for a fairer future. To make sure money is going into their pockets – not into the pockets of the richest 1%.

The Greens have a plan to do just that, and I’ll be announcing the first step at the National Press Club today."
