Melbourne’s diversity is its strength. When media outlets like Channel Nine suppress candidates who represent that diversity, they’re suppressing the democratic process. Let’s hold them accountable & fight for a fairer city! #JusticeForMelbourne #EveryVoiceCounts.

I stand for a Melbourne that works for everyone—not just those with media connections. Our future is too important to be decided by a select few. It’s time to demand a fair debate and better coverage of the issues. #JusticeForMelbourne #OurCityOurFuture.

Melbourne deserves better. We need a media that doesn’t pick favorites. A media that represents ALL voices. Channel Nine’s exclusion of an independent progressive candidate undermines the very principles of fairness & democracy. #EveryVoiceMatters #StandForTransparency.

Why was I excluded? Because my ideas challenge the status quo. Because I represent the voices of Melbourne’s diverse communities—working families, multicultural groups, & the LGBTQIA+ community. This exclusion isn’t about me, it’s about silencing those voices. #FairGo.

🚨🚨 Please read and share! 🚨🚨. @Channel9 is holding a mayoral debate this week—without me. Despite being a councillor for Melbourne & having a clear platform for a cleaner, safer, & more affordable city, I’ve been excluded. This isn’t just bias; it’s a direct attack on.

Melbourne's population will double by 2041. Managing this population boom will require a council with a robust strategic plan. 📝. While this plan must be created and costed with extensive expert consultation, it also absolutely must work for everyone, including families, people.

Hands off Royal Park! 👐🌳. Green spaces are absolutely vital to safe, healthy and family-friendly cities. That's why #TeamHakim has pledged to protect Melbourne’s parklands, condemning recent statements from Leader of the Opposition John Pesutto and the Liberal Party.

I ❤️ Melbourne, and I want to show it to the world!. That's why, if elected, I want to commission x3 'I ❤️ Melbourne' signs for Melbourne. 🥳. However, I want the choice about where the signs go to come from the people who live in this city. So tell me, where would you like to.

Backroom wheeling and dealing and the complex science of preference flows could result in an unexpected lord mayor.
