Why I'm standing
I got involved in politics this year because I am concerned about the direction in which our nation is headed. Co-governance is a serious concern, presenting a threat to the safety and free functioning of our democracy. Our nation is also facing crises in health, education, the economy and crime. I believe this election will be one of the most important in the history of our nation, so I felt I must act.
About me
I am a retired doctor, with over 20 years experience part-time in General Practice. I have Christian values, with a balanced commitment to social justice and to individual freedom, making me centrist. I value truth, authenticity, and diplomacy. I enjoy connecting with people at the grassroots level and hearing different perspectives, and I am motivated to fight to protect our democracy and to seek to improve healthcare, using my practical knowledge as a doctor.
My priorities
- Resist co-governance and protect freedom and democracy, because any other policy depends on this.
- Improve health, by seeking to invest in primary care and hospital care to reduce waiting times.
- Improve education, by addressing truancy and rebuilding effective learning.
