My Principles and Priorities

• My key principle as the Member for Macedon will be to leave the Macedon electorate and Victoria in a better condition for our children and future generations than they are now.

• My priority as the Member for Macedon will be to influence the rebuilding of Victoria and the promotion of regional Victoria and Macedon in particular.

• We need better financial management in government. That starts with reviewing expenditure and cutting spending, in a responsible way. Billions of dollars have been wasted over the last 12 years - we cannot risk another 4 years of that continuing.

• We need to revitalise the Victorian economy. We need to create industry and jobs in regional Victoria. Businesses are closing.

• I do not support any political party. What I do support are good laws, and I don’t support bad or unnecessary laws. It’s that simple.

• We need truth in political advertising to be a legislative requirement, with serious consequences for those who lie.

• We need to ensure that education standards for our children are not compromised.

• Numerous other areas need urgent government attention, including:

  • the poor state of many public schools (whilst the Government has built some new schools, many existing schools continue to have poor conditions)

  • the poor state of many roads

  • supporting industry and job opportunities in regional Victoria

  • the need to enhance IBAC powers

  • domestic violence

  • homelessness

  • housing

  • cost of living, especially energy prices

  • hospitals

  • better support and equipment for emergency services.
