== About Annie: == Annie S. was born at the Royal Womens Hospital in Melbourne, Australia 1989. She feels strongly about children and their rights to education, food and water and Freedom of speech and as such is an active member of amnesty international and oxfam australia. She has also shown leadership in recent years by participating in a "school lunch order initiative which took place at coburg west in 1999-2000. It involved ridding the students of unhealthy lunch orders and replacing them with home-cooked meals that were nutritional to the student body.the proposal was passed and was put in place in late 2002. Annie went to Oxford University in 2009 and has degrees in English Literature and History. = = =What Annie stands for: =

=
the moreland area is beautiful, filled with many parks, gardens, and lesure centres. However, the care of these places has dropped over the past few years, and litter dust and cigarette butts clog up the sides of streets, leaving it looking ugly and presenting a health hazard. if we get more street cleaners and more public bins, t his problem could be solved in a matter of months.=====

=
-Out of the 31 metropolitan municipalities in victoria, moreland has the tenth highest number of road users killed or injured between 1994-98. among this moreland has the seventh highest number of pedestrian casualties, eighth highest number of bicyclist casualties and ninth highest number of motorcyclist casualties.===== Each year about eight people are killed, 164 seriously injured and nearly 540 suffer minor injuries on roads within Moreland. The cost to the community of these known casualty accidents is in the order of $45 million per year. We need to introduce more pedestrian crossings, more traffic lights, more speed cameras and more lollipop ladies/men at school crossings. I believe that the safety of community members is critical to a good and happy moreland.

-Free Parking
In recent years, moreland has become clogged with parking meters in places like supermarkets and parking spaces near parks. Introducing these parking meters is driving people away from exercise and healthy food, and has increased the numbers of illegal parking, leading to more accidents and angry morelandmembers. by ridding ourselves of these parking meters, people will be more likely to go to the park, buy things from local greengrocers and park in proper parking spaces.

=Aims and Goals: =

=
- Introduce a green energy fund ( by investing $8 million in introducing more solar panels and water tanks into local homes) =====

- introduce community working bees to clean up parks and other public areas
