• As a General Manager who has built and run businesses, I understand the challenges facing and contribution made by our many small to medium-sized business enterprises in Davidson & NSW.
• As a Board Director of a major health insurer, I understand corporate governance issues and the crucial area of health.
• Through holding office with local council, statutory and non-profit organisations, I understand the workings of government and community service delivery.
• As a lawyer who has worked with a leading Australian law firm, I understand law and order issues facing our society.
• My postgraduate studies in competition and environmental law, business administration and financial services are relevant to managing a wide range of State government portfolios.

However, while I clearly want to play an important role in competently managing our State’s resources, my primary focus will always be on people.  I firmly believe in individual freedom, personal initiative and free enterprise. The greatest challenge for the Liberal Party is to fairly encourage each individual to strive to realise their potential in both a personal and community sense.

I particularly want to help make Davidson and NSW better for future generations.  For example, our local and broader environment is a key issue that will determine the quality of life that we leave our children and grandchildren.  We must manage better outcomes for local Davidson residents and the people of NSW.

To really make a difference in the local and State arena, I need your help.
