As a proud Sunbury local, Rohanna has had an interest in animal welfare from a young age.

Having volunteered as a wildlife rescuer and carer for several years,
Rohanna has been an active member of the Animal Justice Party since
2018. Rohanna is opposed to the proposed waste incinerator that the Labor
government wants to build in Sunbury. Pressure must be kept on the state
government to implement legislation that will put a total ban on the project.

Rohanna is also passionate about preventing the rate of suicides amongst
our veterinarians. On average a veterinarian takes their own life
approximately every 12 weeks in Australia, which is double the national
average for any profession. She will push for more funding for mental
health for veterinarians and vet nurses in crisis and address staff
shortages amongst the profession.

Rohanna supports increased funding, support and pet friendly safe houses for women, children and pets fleeing domestic violence. A large number of women fleeing domestic violence consider delaying leaving an abusive relationship as it is not always possible to take their pets with them. 

With the Sunbury region experiencing a growth boom, Rohanna wants to
bring attention to the impact this is having on local wildlife. Vital funding is
needed to assist wildlife rescuers and carers who are pushed to the brink
and constantly paying for travel costs and medicines out of their own
pocket. With ongoing development destroying habitat and displacing native
animals, Rohanna believes that green spaces must be protected and
expanded and that the continued growth of the town must be balanced
with protecting animals and our environment.

To address the climate emergency, Rohanna wants to see a move towards
sustainable plant-based agriculture through ongoing investment in training
and education programs for animal agriculture farmers. A transition away
from factory farming is an important first step towards building a
cruelty-free society, and will have enormous positive impacts for our
climate.

Rohanna is passionate about legislating a total ban on the use of 1080
poison across the state. As an indiscriminate poison, 1080 causes a
painful death for all animals who encounter it; including native and
domestic animals.

When elected, Rohanna will also push the government to end duck
shooting and the commercial killing of kangaroos.
