BCCAG Meet the Candidates Forum 30-10-2018

I have been incredibly lucky to have grown up in Sandringham, and have a deep appreciation for our area including our beautiful foreshore and fragile, natural ecosystems. The people of Sandringham are a compassionate community, who care about social justice and environmental protection, and deserve representation in state parliament that is in line with these values. I will work to protect our environment, as well as ensuring political decisions are made for the good of the people, not vested interests.
