Coming from a disadvantaged upbringing, he has strong beliefs in government providing for its population, and supporting its people to help advance the country, together. He advocates for essential services being in public hands, Australia getting a fair return on its resources, and this money being used to provide for the country.
Alex has worked in numerous blue-collar jobs since finishing high school. His work has ranged from farm work, mechanics and accessory fitting, labourering, and has been working as a postie for the past 9 years.
After moving to Newcastle in 2021, Alex continued his community involvement by joining his local 4wd club, becoming a union representative in his workplace, and by attending rallies for causes that he supports. After his charges were dropped for protesting in the 2024 People’s Blockade, he stated “I got arrested because I believe that we, the people, should be getting a fair return for OUR resources, and that money should be put back into the local communities to help our drastically underfunded services.”
