In Calare, we treasure our families, strong communities, and unique landscapes—things worth fighting for. We want a future where our kids can grow up in safe, thriving towns with access to quality healthcare, education, and good jobs close to home.
Party-dominated politics gives too much power to industry lobbyists and corporations, leaving local businesses and everyday people behind. Individuals, families, and young people deserve a fair go, with policies that ease cost-of-living pressures, support local services, and create lasting opportunities. We need real, permanent solutions—affordable housing, lower energy costs, and fair wages—to ensure everyone can build a secure future.
I'm here to listen to the community, work with experts, and take action to deliver real results for Calare. We know that if we vote the same, nothing is going to change. This election, choose a fresh start for Calare.
Change starts here!
