I am 65 years old, was born in Sydney and currently reside just outside Deloraine in the Federal Electorate of Lyons. I completed Year 12 in 1977 at Saint Patricks College Sutherland before qualifying as a Motor Mechanic and Automotive Electrician in 1981. My family with six children moved from Sydney to Tasmania in 1987.

For over 40 years I have been employed in Government, Civil Construction, Agricultural and Mining Industries as a Diesel Fitter. I have also been self-employed over four years in the landscaping, fencing and home maintenance service industry. A healthy, productive physical economy is of paramount importance for the future of Tasmania and Australia as a whole and government must make this a priority.

I also have a strong commitment to the family unit as the building block of society and believe that quality education at all levels is key to a sustainable harmonious society in Australia and globally. The belief that all people are created as equals is fundamental to my principles and if this idea were truly accepted and applied by governments and decision makers here and around the world, we would have a fairer, kinder and more just society.

My association with the Australian Citizens Party goes back more than 15 years, and I am proud to stand as their endorsed candidate for Lyons at the upcoming federal election.

Australian politics and global events have been of great interest and concern for me my entire adult life. My goal is to genuinely foster greater prosperity, well-being and happiness for all Australians, especially those who are living in poverty and hardship, or who are struggling to keep their heads above water. We need massive investment (through a public national bank) into essential infrastructure, public housing, and agriculture including food and fuel security for the nation.

I fully support the ACP’s core policies for national and economic sovereignty; a return to integrity in public governance; a return to affordable housing, healthcare and energy security.
