Working hard for
the Eastern Shore

I'm passionate about representing my local community and working for common-sense outcomes. As a councillor and now a Member of Parliament, I have fought for local people who struggle to have their voices heard.

​

I rent a home in Bellerive with my wife Anna and our 3 children. We understand the issues facing families in our community, including difficulties accessing affordable housing, the rising cost of living and energy prices. Like you, I want my family to have access to great health and education, and that's what I and my Labor colleagues are fighting for every day.

​

I love being involved in local sporting and community groups, and you'll often find me cheering on the Clarence Zebras of a weekend, down at the market at Kangaroo Bay or enjoying a coffee at one of our fantastic Eastern Shore cafes. 

​

I am proud to be the Shadow Minister for Local Government and Planning, a role I have been well prepared for after 4 years as a Clarence City Councillor. I am also the Shadow Minister for Disability, and with my family having experienced the challenges of accessing support I am pleased to be able to advocate for change in this space.
