I’m a conservative liberal with a social conscience. I believe in safety nets for the vulnerable and at risk, a firm line of “do no harm” for those who can’t self manage and a framework that leverages opportunities for Australians to succeed on their own unique journey, underpinned by zero cost access to health and education, a reliable supply of affordable energy, a small government, a low tax rate across a broad base and a diminishing environmental footprint in a thriving natural landscape. Ours is a complex and diverse community and I will seek to bring solutions that effectively address the core issues whilst enabling that diversity to flourish.
I live in the north of the Page electorate where I raise beef cattle using a regenerative grazing model which is high ethics and high welfare. As a first generation farmer I am acutely aware of the challenges start up and small scale agriculturalists face. Aside from reclaiming our democracy, key areas of focus are disaster management; communication services; tax reform, agricultural policy, anti-corruption, Environmental Stewardship and fostering innovative low cost solutions for the housing crisis that plagues this electorate.
