WHAT I STAND FOR
1. CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION & A JUST TRANSITION TO RENEWABLE ENERGYClimate change action needs to happen today. Our children and grandchildren will be paying the high price in the future, not just in money, but with their livelihoods if we fail to turn things around now. We need urgent, science based, climate action. We don’t have to choose between environment and economy – each can coexist and improve the other. Climate change action does not mean sacrifice – it means building, prospering and future proofing. More...

2. INTEGRITY IN POLITICSAustralians should have confidence that the politicians they elect are making decisions in a fair and transparent way. We need a Federal Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to restore that trust. We need to bring integrity back into politics, enforce transparency around political donations, and ensure public funds are fairly invested. More...
|
3. INCLUSIVITY & EQUALITYFairness for all members of our community is a community in which we can all prosper. We need to support women to have an equal seat at the table. A strong economy relies on utilising skills from all backgrounds. Everyone deserves to be heard and valued. I will fight for equitable parental leave and childcare subsidies to ensure all parents, particularly women, are not disincentivised to return to work. More...

4. SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORTTargeted support is needed for the industries that have been most affected by the pandemic. These small businesses are the gems of our community, and it is in all our interests that they survive. Support for small business is intertwined with climate change action – sustainable business is good business. I will support small businesses to prosper in a sustainable economy. More... |
Most importantly, while these are the issues I see as important to all of us, I am open to hearing from constituents about what other issues are important to them. I am committed to listening and taking action in line with community values.
As an independent, I can draw the attention of Federal Government to maximise benefits to our community. I am not confined to vote along party lines, and I am not influenced by large donations from entities. I’m going to vote for what’s right, and what’s in the best interests of the community.
I will listen to what the community have to say.

I would love your support, whether it is financial or in helping volunteer with the campaign. If you are able to make a financial donation, please donate here! Even if it's only a small amount, every bit helps. We will ensure where possible, that campaign funds are spent supporting businesses in the Monash Electorate - putting funds back into the community!!
