I'm going to stand as an independent for the ACT Assembly Election in October 2024. For the electorate of Kurrajong.

It's time for a change, It seems that everybody is saying it. Members of the Labor party are, privately, saying that we need a cross bench of good quality - true independents - to make sure we get better government.

The government is influenced far too much by the unions and through that by the big developers. Our education and health sectors suffer as a result.

The cost of light rail, as good as it looks, is hidden and the tax payers of Canberra just might be funding vanity projects for the needs of others. Is there a better way? Is there a cheaper way? Or is it the best way? We need the information needed to understand what is going on.

The self-employed are not even given lip service and their mental health needs ignored.

All this impacts our suburbs, our community sport and roads and other infrastructure. It impacts people.

We need a government that is held to account; that is forced to consult effectively and widely; and communicates with the community not with mirrors. We need evidence based policies not those developed to meet the needs of vested groups.

The government isn't evil it has just been there too long, far too long.

The Liberal Party is not ready for government. Their far right still controls its policies and beliefs.

Independents have to be the answer.

Here are some media releases and articles that are about all that:

Communications, Transparency and Consultation - what I see as some of the problems that need fixing.
