Why I'm standing

What drives me is wanting to help fix this mess we're in, especially the heart-breaking state of our freshwater. I'm committed to delivering a credible response to climate change and sustainable and cost-effective public transport to leave an environmental legacy we can all be proud of.

About me

I have a particular set of skills, experience and education all aimed around the protection and rehabilitation of the environment. They range from grass roots conservation to environmental planning and policy roles in local and regional councils and charitable trusts.

My priorities
  1. Complete the regional response to the National Policy Statement for the freshwater management.
  2. Urgently reduce emissions through public transport improvements.
  3. Continue investment in biodiversity as a key tool in addressing the climate and ecological crisis.
