Policy Priorities
My vote will always be independent, informed by the evidence, and guided by consultation with the electors of Kooyong. There will be no backroom deals, no factional pressures, and no debts to big business. As the independent member for Kooyong I will be a conduit and a connection between the community and our Federal parliament.
My commitment is to faithfully represent the views and values of the people of Kooyong, and to listen to the experts on the issues that face our community. My policy priorities will not be determined by any donor, lobbyist or party.
