Candidate for Sturt
About
Peter is 30 years old and married to Melanie. Born in the Barossa Valley, he moved to Adelaide 10 years ago. Peter has a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from UniSA, and has worked in the renewable energy industry and in landscape gardening.
"Through sustainability we will build resilient communities. Through a just transition to a low carbon economy we will grow green jobs."
Reading the book Voltaire’s Bastards by John Ralston Saul sparked Peter’s interest in politics over a decade ago.
As well as books, Peter likes music and a hit of tennis, but his favourite pastime is working in his garden with his chickens and listening to ABC Radio National.
"The Greens have the political will to deal with the challenges facing this country," says Peter.
"We work in the public interest, not merely to satisfy vested interests."
"The Greens are not for sale; our opinions cannot be bought."

Policies
Voters from Grand Junction Rd down to Waterfall Gully, from Portrush Rd east to the hills face, should think twice before rewarding Labor and Liberal for their respective inept reform agenda and contrary rhetoric.
The electorate of Sturt need not be a two horse race. Your vote is incredibly powerful.
Vote 1 Greens and remember YOU decide where your preferences go.
Vote Green in Sturt if:
You have, or want, solar panels on your house
The Greens bill for national feed-in-tariff laws would reward businesses and homeowners who produce solar power. This bill is blocked from progressing in the parliament because the bigger parties don't want it.
You want a price on carbon polution
The Greens option as devised by Professor Ross Garnaut would see an interim carbon tax at $23 per tonne. This would give Australia a rapid start in reducing emissions while providing the carbon price signal so important to business for certainty.
You want Australia to honour its obligations to asylum seekers under international law
Sadly, both Labor and Liberal are once again locked in a race to the bottom, opting for harsh new policies for asylum seekers. The Greens recognise that the small number of people who arrive by boat seeking protection deserve to have their case heard and be treated humanely onshore.
