Working Together For Healthier, Happier and Active Community

Connect

    Keep up-to-date with my campaign.

    I believe that we are entering a new era of changes, away from the old organised and tribal mainstream politics and into real diversity in political ideas including respectful debates. We need parliamentarians who put the interests of the community ahead of the interests of the few. That is the best way to create a happy and harmonious community.

    I am entering politics because I feel I can make a difference and have a lot to contribute, and it will give me an opportunity to continue serving my community.

    My Policies

    Australians are craving real diversity in political ideas including respectful debates. They aren’t bothered about the old dogmas of left and right as long as parliamentarians put the interests of the community ahead of the interests of the few. Australians want to be given the hope of a better future for their children and a return to the fair dinkum egalitarian society the nation prides itself on.
