Priority Issues
Based on the conversations I have had right across the electorate of Lyons important issues causing many of us concern are cost of living pressures and systemic problems in our health, education and housing systems.There exists environmental and animal health and welfare concerns and an observation that there is a lack of integrity in politics.
Healthy Communities
Access to quality health care should be available to all Tasmanians. This includes addressing accessibility to GPs, ED waiting times, bed block, Aged Care, Dental Health and Mental Health service provision.
There are solutions to the current cost-of-living and housing crisis, and I will support other members of parliament to design and implement these needed changes.
Animal Welfare
As a veterinarian, I am passionate about ensuring the health and well-being of animals. This involves advocating for policies that protect animal welfare while also supporting initiatives that promote responsible pet ownership.
Healthy Environment
Our natural environment is a treasure that must be protected.
I am dedicated to addressing climate change, increasing the resilience of our ecosystems, and fostering sustainable practices that benefit our communities and future generations.
Integrity
I will uphold the principles of good governance, including accountability, transparency, and ethical decision-making in parliament. I will work to establish respectful dialogue and ensure that the community’s interests remain at the forefront of any decision-making.
