Xavier Menta is a proud son of the west, born and raised in the community he now seeks to represent. A loud, passionate and dedicated cannabis advocate, he is running to push for fairer laws, greater personal freedom and a more compassionate approach to policy.
With deep ties to the Gorton electorate, Xavier has spent five years coaching grassroots sports, strengthening his connection to the people and understanding both the challenges and strengths of the local community. His commitment extends beyond cannabis reform, he is also a strong advocate for better public transport, including much-needed improvements to bus services in the west.
Xavier has witnessed firsthand the harm caused by prohibition and the urgent need for reform. Legalising cannabis isn’t just about personal choice, it’s about justice, economic opportunity and sustainability. A regulated cannabis industry could create over 100,000 jobs, build a multi-billion-dollar economy and help reduce carbon emissions, all while freeing up police and court resources to focus on real crime.
Throughout his campaign, Xavier looks forward to meeting as many people as possible and having open, honest conversations about cannabis, policy and the future of Gorton. He is ready to stand up for the community and fight for a future built on fairness, opportunity and common sense.
