Hi, I'm Andrew,

I'm your Greens MLA for Yerrabi and I’m thrilled to be running again to continue to represent our community

On moving to Canberra more than 20 years ago to join the public service I fell in love with the city and its community.

Being an environmental engineer, public servant, and father, I became a passionate community advocate campaigning for government services and infrastructure to support the rapidly expanding population in Yerrabi.

Living in one of the new suburbs in our electorate that swelters in the summer due to a lack of tree cover, I’ve been very motivated to work for more tree planting, green spaces, and shading as well as neighbourhood upgrades to make our suburbs more liveable.

As a renter and a father of two, I personally understand the dire state of the Canberra rental market, and the need for urgent reforms to help renters, which me and my Greens colleagues have worked hard to achieve and will continue doing so in the next Legislative Assembly term.

And as the Greens spokesperson for Anti-Racism and Multiculturalism I’ve worked to ensure that all of our diverse communities in Canberra are welcomed and celebrated. I also introduced a motion in the Assembly to end the ACT Government’s investment in companies that the UN has recognised as complicit in Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Territories.

I’m proud to stand for re-election as your local Greens MLA for Yerrabi. In 2020 we made history by electing 6 Greens to the Assembly and in that time we have done a lot to make Canberra a fairer city. But there’s still so much more to do and we need to go further and faster to tackle the cost of living and climate crises. Join me and my campaign team to keep Yerrabi Green in 2024.
