The Animal Justice Party has endorsed Gwynne Brennan AFSM as their candidate for Cranbourne in the November Election.
A stakeholder engagement professional, Ms Brennan lives with her son and rescue cats and dogs in Cranbourne North.
A strong belief in involving people in decision-making has driven her to dedicate her working life to ensuring community voices are heard.
She says that joining the Animal Justice Party was a natural extension of this mission, and she now strives to give a voice to the voiceless.
“Companion animals contribute significantly to the health and well-being of our community,“ Ms Brennan said.
“I will work to ensure the residents of Cranbourne can access affordable vet care that their pets need, as well as plenty of safe, green spaces for pets to exercise and socialise.
“The most effective way to achieve positive change for animals, people and the planet is to be elected to parliament where legislation can be changed.”
Ms Brennan received the Australian Fire Services Medal in the 2019 Australia Day Honours for distinguished service.
She was recognised for her work educating communities post Black Saturday and is passionate about implementing new approaches to engage communities in the creation of safety plans.
When she isn’t campaigning for animal justice or working for improved community safety, Ms Brennan says you will find her walking the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens chasing the perfect photo of a blue wren.
The Animal Justice Party was founded in 2009 in response to the growing number of voters seeking better protections for animals in law.
In 2018 it elected its first MP, Andy Meddick, in Western Victoria. For the first time ever, the Party is seeking to run candidates in all 88 Lower House seats in Victoria.
