As a sixth-generation Gippslander and Bass Coast councillor, I’ve spent my life fighting to protect our forests, ocean and farmland. Eastern Victoria is on the frontline of climate change, and I’m determined to deliver a just transition that creates secure jobs while ensuring our communities can adapt and flourish.

But this campaign is about more than climate. Our schools and hospitals are underfunded, infrastructure is inadequate, and too many families are struggling to make ends meet. I want to see real investment in education, health and regional infrastructure, alongside policies that reduce housing insecurity and strengthen local services.

With strong, progressive leadership, we can build thriving, resilient communities and a fairer future for everyone in Eastern Victoria.
