Pitch: Sustainable Australia Party is not like the major parties. We are an independent community movement from the political centre. We support a science- and evidence-based approach to policy, not a left- or right-wing ideology. Of all 13 candidates, I am the only candidate who stood for the seat of Upper Hunter two years ago at the state election and intend to be back again in two years' time for the March 2023 state election. I understand the need to balance and respect the needs of all communities in the Hunter Valley, including small business, farming and mining. I am passionate about local jobs and the need for a more diverse economy, including a strong manufacturing base. For starters, let's return to building NSW trains in the Hunter Valley.
