The ex-policeman of 16 years has always been passionate about the environment, carrying that passion through to his job before politics, a sponsored angler/recreational fisher. Similar to other Independents, Mr Attenborough is looking to offer a different option than the big two parties.

"I bring something different than the Coles and Woolies options that they have at the moment. Many people have expressed to me the mood for change and they're willing to listen to the Greens policies," Mr Attenborough said.

The biggest policy Mr Attenborough and the greens pioneer is action on climate.

The Greens aim to phase out coal and gas power and move to a renewable economy, this shouldn't be too hard according to Mr Attenborough.

"Thirty-seven percent of houses are already running on solar. Certainly transitioning coal and gas is a huge priority," Mr Attenborough said.

A transition from coal and gas to renewable energy will have big implications throughout the Lyne but this has been accounted for, according to Mr Attenborough.

"The Greens do have a policy to transition the coal miners in a job-for-job transition, It's not like they're just going to be abandoned. Their policy is to try to support them transitioning into another mining job," Mr Attenborough said.

Another big issue, according to Mr Attenborough, is cost of living and the rising cost of housing across Australia.

"One of the problems is that rents are rising three times faster than wages at the moment," Mr Attenborough said.

The Greens, with Mr Attenborough want to introduce a public housing scheme. The scheme has two options, either buying into it for $300,000 or 25% of your income will go to rent.

These policies will cost a lot of money, however the Greens have a plan for that as well, according to Mr Attenborough this will largely consist of taxing the mega-wealthy and cutting down on needless spending.

"One of the Greens policies is to make the billionaires pay their fair share of tax... Most of these multinationals aren't paying any tax at all," Mr Attenborough said.

According to Mr Attenborough, this will raise around $330 billion over ten years.

When it comes to voting, Mr Attenborough encourages voters to vote for whichever candidate speaks to them and to make sure that they properly engage rather than doing a protest vote.

"I would encourage people not to make this a protest vote but make it an action vote. We had a high amount of illegitimate donkey votes last election," Mr Attenborough said.

The election will take place on Saturday, May 21.
