At the Greens campaign launch on Thursday April 22, Mayor Amanda Findley said nothing will change if misogynistic discourse isn't challenged, and that's part of the reason why she is running again.

"If we just sit back and let all that [misogyny] happen and let it win, then women will just keep getting no voice. So it's really important to keep women in politics and in leadership," she said.

She said her new team has the resilience to navigate misogyny in council.

"When you work together as a team, you support each other and lift each other up. You work with each other through the bad times so that when you come out the other side, you're like 'okay we did that' and that builds your strength of character," she said.

"It's hard work no doubt, but every single person is up for it."

She said her team of candidates are a diverse bunch.

"When all those candidates come together and if someone's got an issue that they've been working on with other people they can bring that to the greater group and we can assist each other with mapping a way forward to help people," she said.

"They've got their own lived experiences that are real and when you have a real life experience it allows you to build empathy for other people because they can understand what other people are going through."

The new Greens candidates are:

Ward 1: Professor Tonia Gray and Restaurant Manager Bradley Stanton..

Ward 2: Environmental manager Evan Christen and Teacher Joanne Warren.

Ward 3: Single mother Moo Dath and 19-year-old university student Takesa Frank.

The upcoming local government elections will be held on Saturday September 4.
