“I am the product of parents who worked their whole lives to educate me; and teachers and schools that went beyond the call to help me reach my potential” said Chris Gambian, who was preselected unopposed as Labor’s candidate in the federal seat of Banks last week.

“Things are only going to change when the voices of everyday people are heard.”

Chris has spent his career speaking up for others, as a union organiser and through community organisations.  He was very active in the campaign to save St George Bank from takeover by Westpac, which resulted in conditions on the sale being imposed to protect jobs and services.
