I’m a local dad, civil engineer and proud member of the Australian Services Union. I’m raising two girls here in Bendigo and love our diverse and engaged community. But too many people are just keeping their head above water, working longer hours and never getting ahead. The Greens are fighting for policies that will address the cost of living crisis we face daily.
I’m involved in my local parents and friends group, the Bendigo Orienteering Club and as a volunteer at the Bendigo Toy Library. When it’s harder to put food on the table, there’s less time to stay connected to family and community groups, but they’re the backbone of our region. With better healthcare, public housing and access to transport we can make Bendigo a place where we can thrive, not just survive.
This state election, I’m running a campaign for Bendigo East that will be positive, inclusive and gives everyone a voice so that our city is one where everyone feels supported.
