Why I'm standing

I have a strong belief we can live in a way which restores nature and its ability to provide for us, which ensures we all have enough to thrive and live fulfilling lives. However, I can see that without making big changes to the way we currently do things, we will continue to destroy our life support system and increase the gap between rich and poor.

About me

I am good at working with other people, even when we strongly disagree and I have a good sense of humour.

My priorities
  1. Focus on frequent, reliable and relatively cheap public and active transport.
  2. Eliminate pollution, waste and emissions, and heal the soil, water and air.
  3. Reduce cost of living and eliminate housing shortages.
