Hi, I’m Jamie Christie.
I think we need to get serious about Climate Change.
I’m standing as an Independent for Bean, the new Federal Electorate for ACT and Norfolk Island.
My Grandfather came to Canberra in 1927 and my Dad was born here. When my family moved to Garran it was the last suburb.
I’ve Yabbie’d at Angle Crossing, camped along Paddy’s river, barbequed at Pine Island, and done the school excursion to Tidbinbilla to be hassled by the emus.
I came back to work as a junior doctor in the Canberra Hospitals in 1990 then trained as a specialist Emergency Doctor.
I’ve worked in one or the other of Canberra’s Emergency Departments since 95. I might have met you there.
If the electoral office had put the boundary of Bean one suburb over, I’d have lived and worked in the electorate for close on 40 years. As it is, it’s 16.
I’ve been a public sector salaried doctor for 30 years.
I’ve never been a member of a political party, and I’m not a politician.
If I was a politician, I’d finish by telling you what Australians want.
I’m not sure what you do want, but if it’s not another ex-political staffer in Parliament, I’m standing as Independent, For Bean
