Why I'm standing
I am concerned at the loss of autonomy and cost escalation of central government regulation upon local economies. Funding of essential services comes first, particularly water and roads. I am very concerned at the destructive effects of unsound policy concerning climate change and health and the censorship of critical debate on these issues. I wish to bring fresh solutions to old problems and promote industrial hemp for home construction and biodegradable plastics industries.
About me
From a farming background, with a BSc degree in chemistry and a 40 year career as a drilling fluids engineer in the international oil and gas industry, I am a seasoned problem solver. One problem I solved saved a $100m dangerous underground gas blowout well in Australia. I look for the simplest solution to complex problems. I am a lifelong follower of natural health principles and am well versed in the science.
My priorities
- Keep local land and water assets in local hands.
- Adopt scientifically sound and best practice water treatment and climate change policies.
- Promote new industries for the Far North District Council region including industrial hemp.
