I have a deep love for Tasmania and am driven to protect our unique waterways, beaches and forests.
Labor and Liberal are selling us out.
They’re putting corporate interests and overseas profit before the people of Franklin.
I think we’ve all had enough of that. 
TIME FOR AN INDEPENDENT VOICE
TO FIGHT FOR FRANKLIN
THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM HAS DELIVERED A COST-OF-LIVING CRISIS,
A HOUSING CRISIS AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL MESS.
WHO I AM
I’m a former foreign correspondent and Four Corners reporter. I started my ABC career in Hobart and later reported politics in Canberra.
I settled in the Huon Valley 14 years ago & worked with the local community on civic projects and events that make our lives better and more fulfilling.
WHY I’M STANDING?
Like many Tasmanians, I am sick of seeing our beautiful island, our people, and our way of life being sold off to big business by Labor and Liberal politicians. When real problems demand real action, these politicians do nothing for us.
FIGHTING FOR OUR WATERWAYS
I’ve been fighting with Tasmanian communities against destructive salmon farming practices for a decade. I’m appalled that local Labor MP and Minister for Fisheries, Julie Collins, has shown unwavering support for multinational salmon farming corporations that are destroying the waterways we love. Now Julie Collins is endorsing new salmon farms in North Storm Bay that threaten to devastate more waterways and beaches—from Opossum Bay to Lewisham and all the way to the Tasman Peninsula.
FRANKLIN DESERVES BETTER
As Minister for Housing, Julie Collins presided over the housing crisis that continues to affect so many Tasmanians. As Minister for Forestry, she supports destroying more native forests.
After 17 years of Labor in Franklin, let’s change to someone chosen by the grassroots—not Canberra’s political machine.
Together, we’ll challenge the status quo, hold government accountable, and build a better Tasmania. Together, we’ll show we do have a voice.
We’ll show our way of life and our problems matter.
Your vote, my voice, together we can make a difference.
