About

Lindsay lives in Eastwood with his wife, a local GP, and their two youngest children. Lindsay has a PhD in mathematics and works as the software manager of Pacific Knowledge Systems, an Australian company developing expert systems for medical applications. He’s keen on native trees, surfing and jazz piano.

Lindsay's father was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany - an experience shaping Lindsay's awareness of the plight of refugees.

Lindsay is a long-standing member of the Ryde-Epping Greens, and has stood as a candidate in previous State elections and also in the 2007 Bennelong election where Greens preferences were the deciding factor in John Howard losing his seat.

Policies

Bennelong is held by Labor by a slim margin and it’s likely Greens preferences will again determine the outcome.

Promoting action on Climate Change is a key issue in Bennelong. Labor's CPRS would have locked in failure with its tiny emissions reduction. The Greens have proposed strong, science based policy solutions.

The Ryde-Epping  Greens will also be promoting a more just asylum seeker policy, especially in light of the government’s regressive new measures.

The commencement of Federally funded social housing projects in Ryde is generating a lot of debate and negativity amongst residents. The Ryde-Epping Greens will continue to support social and affordable housing as a practical social justice issue.
