Your genuine Independent Candidate for the Macedon District
in the 2026 Victorian State Election

“Restoring accountability and integrity in politics”

  • I am positive and optimistic about what can be done to turn around Victoria, making it the great place that it once was. It’s in a bad, but recoverable, condition - but I need your help to get elected into the Parliament to make positive things happen.

  • I am not aligned to any political party, donor or lobbyist. And never have been, unlike all other candidates for the Macedon District that I am aware of to date (6 October 2026)

  • I am a committed, fresh voice for the Macedon District and Victoria - a genuine, positive alternative to party politicians.

  • I am truly independent – 100% self-funded – I am not accepting donations from anyone - this ensures that I have no conflicts of interest (in fact I don’t know how anyone can be “independent” if they accept donations!).

  • I want the dangerously high level of State debt reduced to save future generations from financial hardship.

  • I am a former government superannuation fund chief executive, with the financial management skills and integrity to help fix what’s gone wrong with Victoria. It’s a big task, but if we get the right people in Parliament, it can be done and it needs to be done. Financial discipline and integrity must start now, before it’s too late.

  • I want the years of broken promises and reckless spending to stop. Over $1.5 billion was wasted by not proceeding with the East - West Tunnel in Melbourne and by cancelling the 2026 Commonwealth Games that should have been held in regional Victoria this year. That was taxpayer money poorly managed, down the drain. This waste needs to stop.

  • I am positive about the future, which is why I will personally donate $10,000 every quarter to not-for-profit, community organisations in the Macedon electorate whilst I am the local Member. A Member of Parliament gets a very good salary, so I feel that it’s only fitting that I give back a significant part of that salary to worthy not-for-profit organisations in my community.

  • After a long and successful career, I am totally committed to the task of helping to turn Victoria around and serving the Macedon District community. I listen, learn and act - that’s why I had a successful career, which I’ll continue as your local Member.
