The media constructed the term ‘Teal’ to group together the movement of community backed independents in Australia. I’m independent and I represent the views and unique issues of the people of McPherson. You’ll find the community backed independent movements across Australia share similar values of integrity, care for our climate and environment, support for diverse communities and people who are fed up with the two-party system which is simply not delivering for communities like ours on the Gold Coast.

While I admire what these independents have achieved, my campaign is uniquely focused on McPherson’s specific needs. Our Gold Coast community deserves a representative who answers only to the people who live here.
