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.
