Ewan Saunders

BRISBANE

EWAN SAUNDERS is a 3^rd generation resident of Ashgrove in the heart of his electorate of Brisbane and has been a dedicated advocate for social justice since leaving high school in 1999. He is currently studying Occupational Therapy at the University of Queensland, and has worked in the Hospitality and Finance industries.

He has campaigned for workers rights, particularly lower paid and youth workers, against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for Indigenous rights, Refugee rights, action on Climate Change, international solidarity from Venezuela to Palestine, and many other issues of local and global importance.

Ewan was also part of the First Australian Solidarity Brigade to Venezuela in 2005 and was a member of the Australian delegation to the World Federation of Democratic Youth Conference during that visit.

"Australian workers need a party of their own. It's high time Australians were given the chance at the ballot box to cast a vote for our rights at work, for real action on the climate disaster we're in, and for a chance of a future where access to health, education and a voice doesn't depend on the weight of your wallet."

"Young people in Australia see a bleak future under the leadership of the Rudds and Howards of this world. The future is ours, and we need to take it back. Our climate is collapsing and workers are suffering under Work Choices. If we don't build a fighting alternative to the self-seeking, multi-million dollar machines of the ALP and Liberal, we might not see a 22^nd Century."
