Why I'm standing
The last few years have been hard, and I know a lot of people are finding it tough right now. We've gotten through by working together and we need keep doing this as we tackle challenges like the cost of living, child poverty and climate change. I'll advocate for practical measures like removing GST on fruit and veges; lunches in schools, free public transport for kids; providing cheaper childcare, and continuing to boost incomes.
About me
It's a privilege to represent the community I grew up and am proud to call my home. This place gave me a great start in life, and I want that for all our young people. Before becoming the MP for Wigram, I worked in technology commercialisation helping businesses innovate. I love our communities. My goal is to ensure that every person, regardless of where they start in life, is able to reach their full potential.
My priorities
- Support families with practical policies to ease cost of living pressures on household budgets.
- Ensure that local people feel safe through tackling the causes of crime.
- Tackle the challenges of climate change, housing and a growing economy that provides well-paid jobs.
