Gareth Ballard for Brindabella

The Animal Justice Party is proud to announce Gareth Ballard as our candidate for Brindabella in the upcoming ACT Legislative Assembly election.

As an animal advocate for over ten years, Gareth has been involved heavily in animal activism and volunteering at local animal sanctuaries. He stood on the Vegan ACT Committee for several years, and is now standing as an election candidate to bring legislative change for animals.

Gareth resonates strongly with the Animal Justice Party's values -- Kindness, Equality, Rationality and Non-Violence. It is these values that lead Gareth in his commitment to ending animal cruelty. Having studied as Community Services and now currently working at a residential rehabilitation facility, Gareth is also passionate about improving access to mental health care and reforming alcohol and drug treatment in the ACT.

Each year, thousands of kangaroos and joeys are slaughtered in reserves across Canberra. As an election candidate, Gareth is pushing to permanently end the annual kangaroo cull, and ensure our native wildlife can find sanctuary in protected natural spaces across the ACT.

Gareth is also determined to outlaw the use of cruel pindone gas against rabbits, redirect public funds into public schools, and end horse racing in the ACT.
