Restoring trust in our federal government is a top priority for me:

• Electoral reforms that set an equal planning field, with the same rules for all candidates (this is not the case with the Government's Electoral Reform Bill)
• Transparency, real-time reporting and caps on political donations
• Truth in political advertising.

The people of Casey have told me they want greater integrity in politics. We want politicians to act in the best interests of our community not a party.

I have role modelled the highest standards of behaviour in my professional life as an engineer, public servant and small business owner.

In 2022 I advocated for a National Anti-Corruption Commission to be set-up, with its important work starting on 1 July 2023. But I feel let down and disappointed by the Commission's decision to not proceed with the recommendations from the Robodebt Royal Commission. People died because of an illegal government policy and there must be accountability by those that made the decisions.

In November 2024 the Government introduced an Electoral Reform Bill, a deal done in the dark. Self-interest of the major parties is the winner, not the Australian public. The bill guarantees big money to the big parties, in fact $90 million for each party. Read Kate Chaney's op-ed here, Berard Keane's article in Crikey here - Labor's Don Farrell has put together a tempting offer for the Coalition, use campaign finance laws to kill off the teals and Juice Media's Honest Government Ad - How to rig elections (language warning) - Labor and Liberal may not agree on much but when it comes to stopping newcomers from competing with them you can be sure they'll pass it in weeks.
