Today, I’m standing as your Greens candidate for Braddon to make sure no one has to go through what my family did. Safe, secure housing should be a right—not a privilege.

💚 Vote 1 Vanessa Bleyer, Greens for Braddon.

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.

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

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.

Vanessa Bleyer @vanessableyer.bsky.social · Jul 16

"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.

'Students, not stadium': Greens propose big mental health boost for schools

Vanessa Bleyer @vanessableyer.bsky.social · Jul 16

At a time when the rate of young people with mental health issues is growing, we should be prioritising students’ mental health—not a new billion-dollar AFL stadium.

Let’s invest where it matters.

💚 Vote 1 Vanessa Bleyer for Braddon.

Waiting more than 100 days to see a school psychologist: Bleyer.

Vanessa Bleyer @vanessableyer.bsky.social · Jul 16

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

Vanessa Bleyer @vanessableyer.bsky.social · Jul 16

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. 💚

Vanessa Bleyer @vanessableyer.bsky.social · Jul 15

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. 💚

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.”

Tasmanians deserve proper healthcare, not a billion-dollar stadium we can’t afford.

💬 “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 💚

A wind farm here would be devastating.
I’ve stood beside the Circular Head Coastal Awareness Network for years, fighting to protect this fragile ecosystem.

We can support climate action—without sacrificing our natural heritage. 💚🌳

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.
