Why I'm standing
I am shocked at the amount of wasteful spending by our current council. There is a massive bureaucracy that needs to be downsized.
About me
I've had wide experience running small to large businesses and know how to stay focused on what needs to be done to get results. My sports career has reinforced the importance of identifying what is a priority and what is a waste of time or money. I want to help refocus this council on spending your money wisely. We can't afford the waste to continue.
My priorities
- Every spending item will be scrutinised. Spending your money is something I will take seriously.
- Cut the wasteful spending. We cannot burden our community with more taxes and rates increases.
- It's vital to reduce the massive debt that's been run up by previous irresponsible spending.
