I was in my teens when my family was evicted by a big bank. We had just 48 hours to leave our home. That moment has never left me—and it’s why I’m so passionate about fighting for housing justice.

Together, we can protect this special place and grow regional jobs through nature-based tourism. Let's make this vision real 💚 Vote 1 Vanessa Bleyer for Braddon #Vanessa4Braddon #Vanessa4Change #TasmaniaTourism #TasmaniaJobs

Jobs and nature go hand in hand in Braddon. Tourists come to see our forests, coastlines, and mountains. Let’s protect them—and create more jobs doing it. Vote 1 Vanessa Bleyer for Braddon. #Vanessa4Change #NatureJobsFuture #Vanessa4Braddon #TasmaniaTourism #PoliTas

I had a laugh with Bob in Devonport—but behind the smiles is a serious truth. Bob lives with Multiple Sclerosis and told me : he can’t access the healthcare he needs. He’s not alone. Tasmanians deserve better healthcare, not a billion dollar stadium #Vanessa4Braddon #HealthBeforeStadiums

Met Thomas on the streets of Ulverstone. And asked him : “Who are you voting for?” Thomas : 👉 “You—because you’re kind and genuine.”

Brenda said it best: 🌿 “The environment is a big issue. We need an environmental lawyer in Parliament—Vanessa’s our girl.” Tasmania deserves a strong legal voice to stand up for nature. I’m ready to take that fight to Parliament.

"Stop the stadium. Protect the forests.” 🌳 That’s what I heard from Peter —and it’s what so many people across Braddon are saying loud and clear. Tasmanians are ready for a government that protects what we love, not one that sells it out. 💚 Vote 1 Vanessa Bleyer for Braddon. #Vanessa4Braddon

Tasmanian students are waiting more than 100 days just to see a school psychologist. That’s unacceptable. The Greens have a clear plan to fix this: ✅ Fund 20 additional school psychologists statewide ✅ Improve student wellbeing and learning outcomes ✅ Ease the pressure on our overworked teachers

Together, we’re standing up for something that’s long overdue: An environmental lawyer in Parliament—someone who understands the law and uses it to protect Tasmania’s natural beauty. 🌳⛰️ I’m ready to be that voice. 💚 #Vanessa4Braddon #Vanessa4Change #ProtectTasmania #TasmaniaDeservesBetter

Tasmania is wild, beautiful, and worth fighting for. 💚🌳 I’ve spent over 20 years as an environmental lawyer—now I’m ready to take that fight to the heart of decision-making. Vote to get an environmental lawyer into Parliament. Tasmania deserves it. 💚 #Vanessa4Braddon #Vanessa4Change

Met Paul while doorknocking in East Devonport —an underground miner, logger, and one of the early fish farmers in Macquarie Harbour. He’s seen it all, and he’s had enough of environmental damage. 💬 “Quite frankly, all this rubbish has to stop—and we need to get the plastics out of the water.”

💬 “I love the AFL, but right now—what we really need are hospitals, specialists, and housing.” That’s what we heard while door-knocking in East Devonport , and they’re absolutely right.

So many of you told me you’re voting for the environment this election—and I hear you loud and clear. I’ll fight to end native forest logging and stop the damage caused by industrial salmon farms. Let's protect Braddon together 💚 #Vanessa4Braddon #Vanessa4Change #EndNativeForestLogging

Robbins Island is one of the most ecologically significant places in Tasmania. It’s home to the last disease-free population of Tasmanian devils on Earth.

What a great event at Ulverstone last night with @senatorsurfer.bsky.social and Basil O’Hallaran where we talked about all of the things that are more important for the government to spend money on than a new billion dollar stadium in Hobart, such as health, housing and education.

"Who is Vanessa Bleyer?” When I was 10, I wrote a poem about a Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle—despite never having set foot in Tasmania. Even then, I felt a deep connection to this place and a calling to protect it.

We’re in a housing crisis—and it’s hitting Braddon hard. That’s why I’m calling for $100 million per year to build 200 new public homes across Tasmania. 🏡 We can fund it by making big corporations pay their fair share—just like the rest of us. #Politas

Join the movement this week, whether it’s a doorknock or our "No New Stadium" conversation event. Let’s talk about real priorities: health, housing, and a protected environment. Together, we can turn Braddon Green. 💚 🔗 Link in bio. #Vanessa4Change #Vanessa4Braddon

Our environment is Braddon’s greatest asset. 🌎🌳 Nature-based tourism can deliver jobs, protect our wild places, and strengthen local business. We can turn Braddon’s natural wonders into a thriving, sustainable tourism economy—without harming what makes them special. 💚 #TasmaniaTourism

It’s voices like Sophie’s that remind me why this campaign matters so much. Braddon deserves a representative who’ll fight for its people and protect its natural beauty. With your support, we can make that happen. 💚 #Vanessa4Braddon #CommunityBeforeCorporations #Vanessa4Change

I spent the afternoon connecting with nature in the Dial Range today with Bob Brown and Paul O’Hallaran. Dial Range is the crown of the central coast of Braddon, full of natural wonders. The greatest employer in Braddon is tourism. Tourists come to Braddon for its natural wonders.

Kicked off NAIDOC Week today in Pataway/Burnie with Krystelle and the amazing team at the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre. This year’s theme is all about the next generation—and that’s exactly who we fight for.

Just this year, I helped stop the eviction of a long-term resident from Beauty Point Caravan Park. 🏡 Now in Shearwater, I’m hearing the same concern—people want stronger protections for caravan park tenants.

The toxic salmon industry has no place in Bass Strait. Foreign-owned companies kicked out of other countries are now polluting our waters—and paying zero tax to do it. If they profit from our environment, the least they can do is pay their fair share.

A watchdog should be able to bite—not just bark. We need an EPA that protects Tasmania, not one run by political interference. Read more 👇 🔗 www.examiner.com.au/story/900148... #Vanessa4Change #Vanessa4Braddon

From the courtroom to the campaign trail, I’ve spent two decades defending Tasmania’s wild places. takayna / the Tarkine is a global treasure—home to magnificent forests, threatened species, and deep cultural significance. 🌍 The people of Braddon want it protected. So do I. 💚🌳

Health shouldn’t be a waiting game. 🕰 Three weeks to see a GP in Smithton is too long. Let’s elect leaders who put the community first—not the corporations lining their pockets. 💚 #Vanessa4Braddon #FixHealthcare #PeopleBeforeProfit #Vanessa4Change #PoliTas

With only 3 weeks left until Tassie goes to the polls, every action counts. This week, join me for wobble-boarding, door knocking and other events across Braddon. Together we can spread the word about the Greens plan to stop the stadium, invest in health and housing, and protect our environment.

In a state as wild and beautiful as Tasmania, it’s shocking we don’t have an environmental lawyer in Parliament. That’s why I’m standing up—so we have a voice that fights for nature at the decision-making table. 💚 #ProtectTasmania #Vanessa4Braddon #Vanessa4Change

What a great night at the Bass and Braddon campaign launch with @larissawaters.bsky.social in Launceston tonight. It is my ambition to achieve a Greens MP for Braddon and make people’s lives better. I will be that person, fighting for environmental and social justice.

💬 "I’ve always been Liberal, but I’m going to change—for the better of the environment and for the better of Tasmania.” – Ken, a voter we met this week in Braddon 💚 It’s conversations like this that remind me: people are ready for honesty, integrity, and real action. #Vanessa4Braddon #PeoplePower

Bob Brown has always stood up for what matters— and I’m honoured to have his backing this election. 💚 Let’s make this a campaign that delivers real change for Braddon. #Vanessa4Braddon #Vanessa4Change

Join me this Saturday in Penguin as we hit the streets, knock on doors, and connect with locals about what really matters—healthcare, housing, climate action, and putting community first. 🗓 Saturday 28 June ⏰ 10AM 📍 Hiscutt Park Windmill, Penguin 👟 First time? No worries—we’ll train you on the day.

📚 Public education should be free. But right now, families across Tasmania are being charged just to send their kids to public school. The Greens have a plan to fix that. 💚 Let’s make public schools truly fee-free. 🔗 Read more: www.theadvocate.com.au/story/900102...

We’re in a climate crisis—and we need real climate action. 🌍 🦘 Robbins Island is home to the last healthy, disease-free Tasmanian devil population in the world. Building a wind farm there puts them at risk—and that’s not climate justice.

Public education should be free. 📚 But in Tasmania, families are still being charged levies—while struggling through a cost of living crisis. The Greens will make sure public schools are truly free—as they should be.

Yes to an AFL team for Tassie. ❌ No to a billion-dollar stadium. Here in the North West, families are more concerned about affording their kids’ education than funding a flashy stadium in Hobart.

Less than 1% of Tasmanians attend greyhound races. Less than 11% have any interest in the industry. Yet the Liberal government is pouring more taxpayer money into greyhound racing than into education. That’s not just wrong—it’s outrageous.

Want to help me get the word out about the Greens’ plan for Braddon? Well, you’re in luck!

REMINDER!! Come along to the grand opening of this fabulous recycled clothing store today, where proceeds go to improving the lives of beautiful Greyhounds.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Stanley morning tea today to meet me. Together we can stop toxic fish farms in Bass Strait and end native forest logging in takayna/the Tarkine. All you have to do is vote 1 Vanessa Bleyer for Braddon this state election #vanessa4change #vanessa4braddon

From Burnie to Wynyard to Stanley, one thing I heard loud and clear today: housing matters—and too many Tasmanians are being left behind.

We spent the day in Ulverstone—and one thing was crystal clear: 💬 “We need better healthcare, not a billion-dollar stadium.” They’re right. Let’s stop wasting public money and start fixing our health system. It’s time to get our priorities right and put our community first. Vote 1 Greens. 💚

Meaningful conversations whilst knocking on doors in Ulverstone today. Almost everyone said they didn’t want an election again so soon, and more needs to be invested in health. I will not stop fighting for better access to the health services that we all need and deserve.

Out in Burnie this morning wobble boarding with a clear message: No toxic fish farms in Bass Strait. Foreign-owned corporations are profiting from our waters—without paying their fair share of tax.

Curious about your Greens candidate for Braddon or haven’t met me yet? Come join me for morning tea and a chat in Stanley! I’ve been enjoying spending time in the community this morning spreading the word about this event and putting up posters about it!

I’ve spent my life standing up for Tasmania’s environment and its people—and I’m ready to take that fight to parliament. Our communities deserve action on climate and social justice, not more excuses. Vote 1 Greens this state election. Let’s build a future in Braddon that we can be more proud of.

Access to healthcare should be a right—not a political afterthought. The Greens will stop the stadium and invest where it matters: ✔️ $3M/year for 24/7 radiology & pathology at LGH ✔️ $4M to expand Kings Meadows renal unit Vote 1 Greens for real priorities. #Vanessa4Change #HealthBeforeStadiums

Here we are wobble boarding in Devonport, and the message is simple: ✅ Yes to an AFL team for Tasmania ❌ No to a billion-dollar new stadium That money should go where it’s really needed—housing and healthcare. 💚 #Vanessa4Change #VoteGreens #PeopleBeforeProfit #Vanessa4Braddon

This Friday morning, I’ll be out wobble boarding in Burnie—come and join me! 💚 We’ll be at the corner of Wilson Street and Bass Highway from 8:15 to 9AM, talking about what really matters. Be part of the movement 💚 #Vanessa4Change #Vote1Greens #Vanessa4Braddon
