hello world!
I own and run a manufacturing business in the Tangney electorate that has been operating since 1956. I also live in this electorate, where I raise my 3 children with my wife Kirsten. I am trade-qualified and appreciate the effort and sacrifice that goes into operating an SME. I have also applied this effort and discipline in high-level sports, having competed in multiple Sydney Hobart Yacht Races. Mental health reform is close to my heart; my father took his own life, and I know first-hand the needs of families in this area. They need tangible support to address underlying issues, not just great slogans and slick marketing campaigns.
In service as the federal member for Tangney, I will prioritise employment pathways such as apprenticeships, making it easier for SMEs to take on new employees who require training. I will push to address overspending of taxpayers’ money by Canberra; and bring corporate tax for multinationals into line. It is unfair that some big businesses pay less tax than an average PAYG taxpayer.
