Why I'm standing

I have watched and measured the worsening state of the groundwater in my ward. It shows no signs of improvement.

About me

I have been a registered veterinarian since 1974. My roles have included racing, food safety and farm vet. I routinely have to work with uncertainty and incomplete information.

My priorities
  1. Freshwater – public health.
  2. Freshwater recreation.
  3. Freshwater ecosystems.
