Ben Smith (Independent)
As your representative, I’m committed to putting our community first—tackling the issues that matter most to you, from cost of living relief, to affordable housing, fixing our local roads and acting on climate. I’m here to be your voice in Parliament, free from party politics and focused solely on making Flinders a better place to live, work, and thrive. Let’s build a brighter future together.
Some of the issues I’ll be championing include:
- Tackling the cost of living: Addressing the skyrocketing cost of essentials like groceries, energy bills, healthcare and insurance premiums. This includes taking on the major corporations, like Coles and Woolies, who are ripping us off.
- An Inclusive Society: Advocating for equality, support for LGBTQ+ rights, protection for women experiencing family violence and ensuring access to reproductive healthcare for all women.
- Supporting our local economy: Backing policies that help local businesses grow, create jobs, and strengthen our local economy.
- Improving our roads and infrastructure: Push for upgraded roads, better public transport, and investments that meet the needs of our growing community.
- Climate Action: Protecting our incredible coastlines, green wedge, and way of life by advocating for practical climate solutions that will benefit locals, like improving access to rooftop solar and batteries.
- Local Health Services: Expanding access to bulk-billing GPs, dental, improving aged care, and pushing for essential upgrades to Rosebud Hospital.
I’ve heard and seen what the community needs, but you’ll be the ones helping inform my policies.
I will be continuously listening to our community to decide what positions I take, because that’s what good representatives do.
