I am not aligned to any political party, donor or lobbyist.

I am truly independent – 100% self-funded – I will not accept 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. The Labor Government wasted over $1.5 billion by not proceeding with the East - West Tunnel in Melbourne and cancelling the 2026 Commonwealth Games that should have been held in regional Victoria. That was taxpayer money down the drain. This waste needs to stop.

I will personally donate $10,000 every quarter ($40,000 pa) to not-for-profit, community organisations in the Macedon electorate whilst I am the local Member.

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.
