I am standing as a candidate because I want to see common sense and a change of focus restored to council operations and management.
I support and will advocate for a back-to-basics plan to review the cost and effectiveness of all core and additional services and help identify underperforming and unnecessary programs that can be eliminated.
I support price capping on rates and examining ways to reduce rates.
I am a proud Australian who believes our history and traditions should be observed respectfully and joyously and embraced by all diverse sections in our community.
I believe we are all one and should be united in our goals and aspirations for ourselves and our community.
I do not support moving the date of Australia Day or changing the way we celebrate it, and I would advocate to remove the divisive Acknowledgements to Country forced upon us at council events.
My focus will be on services and local issues not social policy.
I have postgraduate qualifications in business management and wide experience in corporate, government and private business, and have been a member of many community organisations, including five years as a community representative on Greater Shepparton City Council’s Positive Ageing Committee.
