What's your profession outside of politics? Leaving school I studied economics laws, but soon realised my passion was more on the creative side and soon found myself changing direction to design and art.
Why are you involved in politics? Politics isn't a career I've ever pursued, it landed on me when I realised important decisions were being made about our future about our children's future. These decisions will affect the education the health and standard of living for our children.
What is the primary objective you would like to achieve in this electorate? We must look ahead and invest in our future generations; rebuild TAFE, bring through quality tradespeople and technicians what will be the backbone of our industry and business. Labor will invest funding for 600,000 fee-free places in NSW TAFE for this very reason.
What's the biggest (state government) issue affecting people in your electorate? Our hospitals are currently a mess, long waiting hours and overworked nurses.
How do you propose to help with this? I'm right behind our great nurses, I want to lift nurse to patient rations in our region to city standards. More nurses means quicker recovery time. Our community deserves A grade health systems.
