I've just returned from putting up campaign posters. It's a great deal of fun, really. And driving home to see my name on a sign was quite spectacular. The unfortuante part was when someone found a grammatical error in one of my brouchures. Annoying!
Anyway, I guess it's worthwhile posting some of my policy information here. Perhaps the easiest starting point is my 150 word statement. This is a supporting statement that goes out with all the ballot papers and is the primary way most people decide who to vote for. It's not comprehensive, but it's a good start. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon!
I am twenty years old and I want to provide a breath of fresh air on Kingborough Council.
I love Kingborough because of the unique quality of life this community offers.
Council should be a consultative body. True consultation means going to people and saying "here is a problem we have identified, here are some possible solutions, what do you think?"
The strategic direction for Council needs to be set by a community plan formulated by the entire community.
I want to encourage sustainable development aimed at maintaining our quality of life.
Our community needs better infrastructure and more open spaces.
It is essential that volunteers, community events and organisations are supported by Council.
We need to address road safety issues (such as hooning) that we face in Kingborough. This has to start with dialogue involving all road users.
