CLIMATE ACTION

 

The future of Australia’s economy, security and biodiversity is dependent on strong Climate Leadership.

70% of two way trade is with countries who have committed to net zero by 2050

This means; the markets that have underwritten our prosperity for generations are changing, and they’re doing it quickly. This is the time to embrace a low carbon global economy and lead with strong evidence based policy so that we can ensure economic prosperity for all Australians into the future.

The Indo-Pacific region that Australia belongs to risks displacement of millions of people due to climate change-related extreme weather events, heatwaves, droughts, rising seas and floods. 

This will not only exacerbate the traditional regional security threats but also lead to new threats including food insecurity and humanitarian disasters that will threaten our national capacities, commitments and resilience.

 

WHY I AM RUNNING

I have seen through the years that I am able to make a difference in the many communities that I have engaged with. 

And from these interactions with the community I have seen that there is a real desire for change. You want to know that the person who is representing you in Canberra holds their promise. Has integrity. I have always ensured that my decisions are made after careful consideration, and with the greater good in mind.

To ensure a better future, put me at the starting line. I am ready. I will fight for the people of Flinders. I will never give up. There is much at stake. Let me change the climate in Canberra.
