STRONGER COMMUNITIES

A compassionate community is a strong and safe one. 

In Australia, we value the idea of giving everyone a ‘fair go’.  This means ensuring our most vulnerable can live with dignity and respect and ensuring people have the support they need when they are going through difficult times. 

Diversity is one of our greatest assets. Actively supporting diversity in background, perspective, age, sexuality and gender reflects our compassion, contributes to the strength of our communities and ensures every Australian has the opportunity to thrive. 

My Priorities

• Banning harmful gambling advertising 
  Protecting children and vulnerable Australians from the psychological and financial harm caused by pervasive gambling ads. 

• Creating well-paid, secure jobs in health, aged care, and childcare 
  Supporting the essential workers who care for our families and communities. 

• Improving support for mental health 
  Addressing the mental health crisis with better access to services, especially for young people. 

• Better support for family violence services 
  Ensuring victim-survivors can access protection and justice, no matter where they live. 

• Equitable and timely access to aged care 

  Ensuring older Australians have access to dignified care in a manageable system. 

Delivered

As your Curtin Independent MP, I’m proud to have helped deliver results for our community. 

I have voted to support legislation that has delivered: 

• Vape import bans (and helped shut down a local vape shop) 

• Increased wages for childcare workers.  

• Advocated 

Through parliamentary speeches or amendments, engaging with Ministers, Curtin submissions or media appearances, I’ve also advocated for: 

• Banning online gambling ads - just as we did with tobacco. 

• Stronger domestic violence laws and better enforcement. 

• Improved mental health support
