Young people struggle to find secure work and decent, affordable housing. We support the right to vote at 16, full adult pay, and liveable welfare payments.
Dignity and security for older people – Victorian Socialists
Older people deserve dignity and security, not neglect. We’re fighting to ban for-profit aged care and guarantee public housing for pensioners.
Workers' power – Victorian Socialists
Everyone deserves well paid, secure work. We’re fighting for the right to strike, a $35 minimum wage on government-funded work, and an end to wage theft.
Early childhood, primary and secondary education – Victorian Socialists
Every child deserves free, quality public education. We’re fighting for universal preschool and childcare, better student-teacher ratios, and an end to NAPLAN.
Housing for all – Victorian Socialists
Housing should be a right, not a commodity. We’re fighting for a five-year rent freeze, 150,000 new public homes, and a ban on hoarding property.
Opposing racism – we’re stronger together – Victorian Socialists
Racism serves the rich and powerful by dividing workers. We’re fighting for working-class unity against racism so we can build a better society for everyone.
Victorian Socialists
In this November’s state election we’re running candidates across Victoria to make sure everyone has the chance to vote socialist and make a stand against the capitalist major parties and the far-right, anti-worker politics of One Nation.
Fighting for women’s liberation – Victorian Socialists
Women’s oppression is part of the fabric of capitalism. We’re fighting for free, accessible abortion, expanded paid parental leave, and free childcare.
Put politicians on worker's wage – Victorian Socialists
Politicians should live more like the rest of us. We’ll fight to cap MPs' wages at $96,000 (a sixth-year nurse’s wage) and end their perks.
Jasmine Duff – Victorian Socialists
We’ve seen how Labor and the Liberals treat ordinary people, and there’s no hope in waiting for them to change. Real change always comes from the bottom up.
Everyone’s talking about the polls: The Age does it differently
Where voters will ultimately land on the question of Victoria’s leadership is becoming increasingly difficult to predict. Fortunately, Age readers are in good hands when it comes to assessing the political mood.
How will we pay for it? – Victorian Socialists
We live in a rich state, yet resources are unevenly shared. We want to tax the wealth of the billionaires and banks. This wealth should fund essential services.
Do the disadvantaged legitimize the social system? A large-scale test of the status–legitimacy hypothesis.
Make Housing Affordable | The Australian Greens
But housing is too expensive because Labor and the Liberals give special treatment to the big banks and the property industry. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Education - Platform | The Australian Greens
Every child deserves a great public education, no matter where they live or how much their parents earn.
Policies – Victorian Socialists
Our full policy platform for the 2026 state election. These policies were developed in consultation with Victorian Socialists members across the state.
The 'rebel educator' candidates taking on Labor – Victorian Socialists
A group of teachers and education support staff - members of Victorian Socialists who, as part of the Socialists in Schools union group, have played a leading role in the rank-and-file rebellion within the AEU - will be running a targeted campaign in this November’s state election challenging eight sitting Labor MPs, including Premier and former Minister for Education Ben Carroll.
