New voices belong in politics.
I first became interested in politics because of the young Australians I met while presenting in schools across NSW.
Many of them were already worried that working hard would not be enough to afford a home, build a career or create a stable life. I believe Australia should give its next generation reasons to feel optimistic about the future.
That means making it possible to build a career, own a home, start a business, raise a family and feel part of a strong community.
Wentworth 2028
I’m Reform Australia’s candidate for Wentworth in the 2028 federal election.
I joined Reform because I believe Australia needs more than another cycle of switching between Labor and Liberal while the same problems continue to grow.
My campaign is focused on the issues people regularly raise around the kitchen table: housing affordability, cost of living, taxation, health, education, immigration, productivity and the way government spends and operates.
I also believe politics should work from the community upwards.
Representatives should listen to the people they serve, explain their decisions clearly and give members and local communities a genuine role in shaping the policies taken to Parliament.
My goal for 2028 is to build a serious local campaign based on community involvement, practical solutions and long-term thinking.
The independent campaign
In 2024–2025, I ran for Wentworth as a young, first-time independent.
I had no party machine, no established donor network and a campaign budget of around $6,000. What I did have was a grassroots team of people who believed that politics needed new voices.
Over the course of the campaign, I spoke at community events, attended candidate forums, ran pop-up offices, knocked on doors, delivered flyers and had thousands of conversations with people across Wentworth.
More than 50 volunteers helped us cover polling booths on election day.
I did not win the seat, but the experience gave me a much clearer sense of purpose.
It showed me that people are willing to support new voices when politics feels disconnected from everyday life. I also heard from young Australians across the country who said that seeing someone their age run made politics feel more open and accessible.
That has become an important part of what I am trying to do: encourage more Australians, especially younger people, to understand politics, get involved and believe they have a place in it.
A politician should be three things
A public servant
Their first responsibility should be to the people who elected them, not a political party, a donor or the next step in their career.
A leader
They should be willing to make difficult decisions, explain their reasoning and take responsibility for the outcome.
A teacher
People should not need a law degree to understand what Parliament is doing. A representative should explain what is being proposed, why it matters and what it will cost in clear, everyday language.
Help build the campaign
If you’re interested in helping with the next election, everything helps. You can join Reform Australia as a member, or put your hand up to volunteer on the campaign: door-knocking, letter-dropping, events, or whatever skills you can bring.
