Why I'm standing

I am standing because I am concerned about the loss of our personal rights over land, water rights and what we can can and cannot do on our own properties. We are all equally effected by this, and I believe it is important for all people to have strong representation in these areas.

About me

I will stand against all central government interference in local council matters and in private properties. We are all equally effected by this, and I believe it is important for all people to have strong representation in these areas.

My priorities
  1. Reject Three Waters as it is currently being proposed.
  2. Stand up against the expansion of Significant Natural Areas and Outstanding Natural Landscape.
  3. Be transparent with the general public on what is happening at the council level.
