Why I'm standing

To better current situations and be part of the decision-making and planning which shapes our future.

About me

I have exposure to different places and people which helps me focus on what we do well and what we don't do well. Sometimes you don't know what to cherish until it is gone, having perspective and distance can help. I'm passionate about where I live and want it to be even more enjoyable and livable in future.

My priorities

  1. Energy.
  2. Employment diversification.
  3. Public/subsidised transport.
