Hi, I’m David.
I’m running for Spence because we deserve a better, fairer future. Together we can ensure Australia is free of poverty.
I grew up living in Spence, so I know what it’s like for families like mine, who fight to make ends meet. I am currently studying at university, after graduating last year from the local public school that should have been better funded. I live in public housing in Elizabeth East with my mum, so I have firsthand experience of the public housing system here in SA.
I’m studying to become a social worker so that I can help people across our state, whether it be young people in the child protection system, people with disabilities, or those trying to access income support.
As a member of the Australian Unemployed Workers Union, Renters and Housing Union, and the Anti-Poverty Network, I’ve been fighting alongside passionate people in my community to raise income payments to $550 a week and improve public housing and renting laws.
This election, we can elect Barbara Pocock, a fierce advocate for working families like mine and those living in Spence. Together, we can fight for a better future for Spence.
Australian politics needs a shake up and fresh voices. Spence deserves a voice who’ll put our community and the planet ahead of billionaires and big corporations. That’s why I’m running
Together we can
- Ensure everyone has a safe and secure home,
- Everyone can get world class health and free education,
- Create jobs in publicly owned and affordable renewable energy.
Together we can create an Australia for all of us. Together we are fighting for the future!
