As a transport planner, I saw that there was heaps and heaps of evidence around delivering a balanced transport system and how that could benefit everyone, including those who are using motor vehicles. By simply making it safe and easy and convenient to take public transport or to use a bike or a scooter or a mobility scooter instead of a car, we actually help those people who are using motor vehicles, and yet, as a transport planner, having all the evidence was not sufficient to get this to happen. So I joined the Green Party because we needed political leadership on the big issues of our time: climate change and creating climate-friendly towns and cities and communities.
