Dr Lyndon Walker is a Ringwood-based researcher, educator and advocate who believes the state government can do more for animals, people, and the environment we all share. 

With a PhD in statistics and sociology, further qualifications in finance and education, and more than 25 years of experience in research and education, Lyndon brings a strong evidence-based perspective to public policy. His career has centred on understanding complex issues, evaluating what works and helping organisations make better decisions. He believes that good policy should be informed by sound research, reliable data and a genuine consideration of those affected by decisions. 

Working in the health and education sectors, Lyndon has seen how government decisions can shape people's opportunities, wellbeing and access to essential services. He believes good policy should be informed by evidence, guided by compassion and focused on meaningful outcomes. Governments should listen to communities, take research and scientific evidence seriously, and be prepared to change course when existing approaches are not working. Lyndon wants to bring this approach to politics, ensuring decisions consider their impact on people, animals and the environment.

As a director of the Tangaroa Blue Foundation he has contributed to efforts addressing marine debris and protecting marine ecosystems and the animals that depend on them. Locally, he is a member of the Maroondah Environmental Advisory Committee which has given him first-hand experience of how councils make decisions about habitat, local wildlife, and public land.

Away from work and volunteering, Lyndon is a passionate powerlifter and average guitarist. His favourite way to switch off is cycling the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail, where he often sees kangaroos, hears kookaburras, and if he is lucky, spots a tawny frogmouth blending into a tree. Time spent among these animals reminds him how much wildlife lives on the edge of the suburbs, and how much it depends on local bushland being protected. 

If elected, Lyndon would work to give animal protection the political attention it deserves, advocate for stronger environmental protection, and champion practical, evidence-based policies that improve the lives of all Victorians. He believes kindness should be at the heart of how we govern, and that we have a responsibility to create a better world for all living beings.
