Why am I running for parliament?
I’m running as an independent candidate because the Eyre Peninsula deserves better. We’ve been a safe seat too long. We’ve been ignored for too long. The needs of our towns, families and environment keep growing, but we’re not being listened to and we’re not getting the resourcing we need.
I’m putting my hand up to change that: to be an independent voice that puts our region first, not the interests of a major party. Someone who listens and fights for fair investment and practical outcomes.
I know how to bring people together and turn community priorities into funded projects. As an Independent, I’ll work with all sides of the parliament to get things moving.
This is about honest leadership, straight talk, and decisions made with us, not for us, so our region has the infrastructure, support and opportunities it needs for the future.

priorities & policies
Eyre Peninsula is a region of opportunity and one of the most productive in the state, contributing over $4 billion to gross regional product each year.

I am committed to supporting this region in sustainably growing, enhancing, and diversifying our economy for current and future generations. We have huge opportunities — and enormous potential.
To realise our future, we have some challenges to overcome:
