She is a Socialist Alliance councillor for the City of Moreland and the President of the Victorian Socialists electoral alliance.[1] She is known for her activism in anti-racism and for the Change the Date campaign. BiographyBolton was born in Queensland, where she initially worked as a bus driver.[2] In 2016, Bolton organised an anti-racism rally in Coburg, Victoria in protest of "vilification of Muslim and African communities" which was attended by 400-500 people.[3] Political careerEarly careerIn 1990, Bolton contested the seat of Fraser in the ACT for the Australian Greens, where she received 4.0% of the vote.[4] This was due to the involvement of the Democratic Socialist Perspective (the precursor to the Socialist Alliance) within the Greens, before the party banned members of other parties in 1991.[5] In 1993, she re-contested the seat without party affiliation and received 2.24% of the vote.[4] Local government (2012–present)In her first campaign for local government in 2008, Bolton attempted to run in the South ward of the City of Moreland, where she only received 4.95% of the vote and failed to get elected.[6] At the next council elections, she ran in the North-East ward, where she was elected with 9.5% of the vote.[6] In 2016, she was re-elected with a greater vote margin.[6] As of 2019, Bolton is one of only three councillors elected as socialists in Australia, with the others being Sam Wainright of Fremantle City Council and Stephen Jolly of Yarra City Council. In 2017, Bolton voted in favour of removing references to Australia Day during local council citizenship ceremonies.[7] She justified this change by saying it was similar to "celebrating the Nazi Holocaust".[8] Her comparison was described by the federal Turnbull government as "deeply offensive to all Australians".[9][10][11] Far-right groups United Patriots Front and Patriot Blue protested the decision by storming the council.[12]
State and Federal campaigns (2018–present){{See also|Victorian Socialists}}During the 2018 Victorian state election, Sue Bolton ran with the Victorian Socialists electoral alliance as the second leading candidate for their campaign in the Northern Metropolitan Region.[13] The ticket achieved 4.19% of the vote, the largest vote of the microparties.[14] However, the ticket did not elect any members. Bolton has announced she is running during the 2019 Australian federal election for the Victorian Socialists in the electorate of Wills.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |last1=Council |first1=Moreland City |title=Cr Sue Bolton - North-East Ward |url=https://www.moreland.vic.gov.au/about-council/councillors/north-east-ward-councillors/cr-sue-bolton-north-east-ward.html |website=Moreland City Council |accessdate=8 March 2019 |language=en-AU}} 2. ^1 https://www.facebook.com/events/291847901498450/ 3. ^{{cite web |last1=Bolton |first1=Sue |title=Why we went ahead with the Coburg rally: organiser Sue Bolton |url=https://www.theage.com.au/opinion/why-we-went-ahead-with-the-coburg-rally-organiser-sue-bolton-20160531-gp87ou.html |website=The Age |accessdate=8 March 2019 |language=en |date=1 June 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Carr |first1=Adam |title=Psephos - Adam Carr's Election Archive |url=http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countries/a/australia/ |website=psephos.adam-carr.net |accessdate=9 March 2019}} 5. ^{{cite web |last1=MacDonald |first1=Lisa |title=Green politics at an impasse {{!}} Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal |url=http://links.org.au/greens-politics-at-impasse |website=links.org.au |accessdate=9 March 2019}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |title=Moreland City Council profile |url=https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/ElectoralBoundaries/MorelandProfile.html |website=Victorian Electoral Commission |accessdate=8 March 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Rachael |title=Australia Day celebrations cancelled after politician says 'it's like celebrating the Nazi Holocaust' |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/australia-day-cancelled-nazi-holocaust-aborigines-melbourne-councillor-ethnic-cleansing-government-a7947871.html |website=The Independent |accessdate=8 March 2019 |language=en |date=15 September 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web |last1=Prytz |first1=Anna |title='Like celebrating the Nazi Holocaust': Backlash as Moreland City Council dumps Australia Day |url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/like-celebrating-the-nazi-holocaust-backlash-as-moreland-city-council-dumps-australia-day-20170914-gyh22r.html |website=The Age |accessdate=8 March 2019 |language=en |date=14 September 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=Comparing Australia Day to Holocaust 'offensive', Federal Government says |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-14/australia-day-moreland-council-vote-federal-government/8944604 |website=ABC News |accessdate=8 March 2019 |language=en-AU |date=14 September 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web |last1=Fox Koob |first1=Simone |title=Jewish leaders condemn ‘insulting’ Australia Day holocaust analogy |url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/jewish-leaders-condemn-insulting-australia-day-holocaust-analogy/news-story/b09ff56796303a824d5c1bef17358e7a |website=The Australian |accessdate=8 March 2019}} 11. ^{{cite web |last1=Bolt |first1=Andrew |title=Left’s self-loathing is playing with fire |url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/andrew-bolt/selfloathing-left-is-playing-with-fire-over-australia-day/news-story/383b753c0c7af3d3c679d14c67d925ec |website=Herald Sun |accessdate=8 March 2019}} 12. ^{{cite web |last1=Price |first1=Susan |title=Neo nazi group invades Moreland Council meeting |url=https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/neo-nazi-group-invades-moreland-council-meeting |website=Green Left Weekly |accessdate=8 March 2019 |language=en |date=30 September 2017}} 13. ^{{cite web |last1=Mitchell |first1=Ivan |last2=Lopez |first2=Daniel |title=The Immodest Victorian Socialists |date=9 August 2018|url=https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/09/victoria-socialists-australia-manifesto-elections |website=Jacobin |accessdate=8 March 2019}} 14. ^{{cite web |title=State Election 2018: Northern Metropolitan Region results summary |url=https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/Results/State2018/NorthernMetropolitanRegion.html |website=Victorian Electoral Commission |accessdate=8 March 2019}} External links
