I am not endorsed by or answer to a political party.

I will remain completely independent, making my priority the resident, rather than a political party.

I have a strong business background, owning and running multiple businesses, working in retail and food industries, including corporate; I obtained a MBA from Swinburne University.

I’m also very capable of critical thinking, and I’m open to hearing all points of view not just those that suit my own beliefs.

I will oppose any new taxes or tax increases. The Government should first demonstrate responsible financial management by reducing expenditure and controlling inflated Politician wage costs before asking taxpayers to contribute more.

Australia’s current tax burden is making it harder for many people to enjoy a comfortable standard of living. It leaves families with less disposable income, reduces time spent with loved ones, and often requires people to work longer hours just to meet the cost of Government.

Climate discussions are complex. As an avid environmentalist and conservationist, I am deeply concerned that the push towards carbon neutrality isn’t considering the real environmental impact or the implications and redundancies for current and future lifestyles.

There’s a concerning emphasis on producing more products and upgrading technology without addressing pollution or planning for end-of-life management.

Human rights abuses associated with these initiatives also require closer scrutiny. In the electrification consultation sessions I’ve attended, misinformation has been prevalent, unfairly affecting residents relying on accurate information from Politicians.

I am also very concerns about the pollution sound and environmental issues for Data Centers.

I’ll ensure transparent, responsible, and genuine sustainable development and procurement while maintaining the character of the area.

Personally, I find all community consultation lacking. The issues that residents are having for instance with the NELP proves that consultation is not effective.

I’ve been actively interacting with Banyule for at least 15 years, and I also speak on these and other topics at Banyule CC Ordinary Meetings.

The recordings that I have marked where I speak are available or on my Facebook page, Instagram and X for public viewing.

I have run businesses in Darebin and Whittlesea where I worked with Councillors as well as Officers over the last 16 years.

I have not had direct interaction with MP’s outside sending letters and making calls pertaining to specific topics as they arise.

I’ll support all demographics; I’ll not discriminate against any residents or visitors to Bundoora, we are one community.

I’ll safeguard and increase all residents’ employment, sports and service opportunities.

Family and friends are important to me, and I want to ensure everyone can celebrate their heritage respectfully with those they love.

I know that most of this would be considered taboo topics these days however if we are to be a flourishing community these we need to be truly inclusive.

By adopting language that emphasizes our shared identity as residents, we can promote a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all. This change could help us focus on what unites us rather than what sets us apart.

I know this is a divisive topic, and to be transparent, I actually used to champion a change in dates. However, since having other information presented to me, including the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 being passed on the 26th of January, which made all citizens Australian and not British, I understand why January 26th is used for citizenship ceremonies.

Additionally, it became apparent to me that the concern about celebrating Australia Day was not shared entirely throughout the Indigenous communities.

Therefore, I would like to see Australia Day back on Council calendars for residents to celebrate or mourn as they choose.

Well, I am part crazy cat lady, obsessed dog person and chicken rescuer. I probably would have been quicker delivering my campaign material if I didn’t stop to pat all the dogs 

I am conscious that not all residents are as enamored with our furry families as we are. Therefore I will always consider other viewpoints whilst seeking accurate information and thrive to make sure there is harmony and respect within the community.

Yes, or better called, the Cost of Government.

I have spoken many times at Banyule council meeting calling for more awareness of the real burdens of household currently.

The added strain of ongoing taxes that are constantly been put onto Australians instead of curbing expenditure and inflated government salaries.

That is why I call for more transparency and better consultation so that Government answer to Australians regarding to how money is budgeted and spent.

Yes I do.

Yes I strongly support the acceptance and use of cash for several reasons.

1. Privacy, people should be able to buy and access services without scrutiny from governments and corporations.
2. Redundancy, digital although it absolutely has its place cannot be trusted to be on 100% of the time. We have seen many instances especially in the last few years where digital options have failed and businesses have been left in the dark.
3. Security, cybercrime and hacking of institutions is only becoming more prevalent, cash cannot be hacked.
4. Cash transactions give individuals greater control over their finances. By using cash, you can limit your spending to the amount of money you have available, avoiding the risk of overspending or going into debt.
