Traditionally, we\u2019ve been taught not to talk about religion, money or politics. I find this a travesty, they\u2019re the most interesting topics!

I\u2019m running as the Independent for Mallee because I\u2019m frustrated that our communities are being neglected, and I’m angry that while our leaders play games in Canberra the people of Mallee are missing out.

We\u2019ve run out of time. We need leadership, vision and a more ambitious climate plan. Our political system isn\u2019t broken, but it\u2019s stopped working for us.
