Why I'm standing

I believe in meritocracy, not race based employment of any kind. I would like to see all racism removed from council.

About me

I am a firm proponent of life experience over political clout. The people know what their needs are and so they make the best politicians. It is best that way.

My priorities

Investing in roads and transport infrastructure to last 100 years.
Purging racism of all kinds out of the council.
Service district debt to free us from creditors.
