PRIORITIES FOR HAWTHORN

Our community deserves better.

People are tired of big announcements that go nowhere while the real issues go unresolved. I'm tired of it too.

I believe decisions should be grounded in evidence, not politics. That means listening to independent experts, being honest about what's working (and what isn't), and focusing on long-term outcomes, rather than quick political wins.

My policy priorities are rooted in our community's real needs. They are shaped by what you've told me matters, and by my work in getting things done as a local councillor and Deputy Mayor of Boroondara.

This page is a living document. As I continue consulting with residents in the Hawthorn electorate and with independent experts, I will keep adding detail, sharpening my commitments, and updating my positions to reflect what I'm hearing. Good policy isn't written once and forgotten — it evolves. And I want you to be part of that process.
