Why I'm standing
I am not happy with how things have been run for many years. I want to make a difference to my community.
About me
I stand up for those who are too shy to speak out for themselves. I do not like seeing disadvantaged people suffer. I have been in business with my husband for about 40 years providing an essential service to farmers in my district. I love to help people realise their true potential. I am involved with helping to feed and clothe homeless people.
My priorities
- Promote a healthy lifestyle, community awareness and support for all.
- Rate affordability and stability. Cutting costs inside council to reduce rating burden.
- Honesty and accountability of council and open public access to council on any matter.
