My Policy Priorities

As your Independent MP I will approach every decision in Parliament with two guiding questions:
  • What is good for the people of Sturt?
  • What is good for the future generations?

For months I have been proactively listening to the people of Sturt. 

From attending community events and engaging in one-on-one conversations, to chatting with you while you go about your shopping or wait for the bus to work, I’ve been hearing your thoughts and concerns. I've also knocked on doors, visited small businesses, and gathered feedback from hundreds of you through an online survey.

Through all these conversations I’ve come to understand what matters most to you, and with those insights I’ve developed the following policy priorities.

You can read more about my Policy Priorities below, or you visit my news page for press releases relating to specific topics.
