As a Senator for New South Wales, I am committed to fighting for the regions and addressing the imbalance of power between the cities and non-capital city Australia. I firmly believe in amplifying the voices of towns in regional areas and advocating for the well-being of the people I represent.
Collaborating with local MPs across various regions, my focus is on fostering stronger communities.
Having been born and raised in the Hunter region, it is now my privilege to represent the people of New South Wales as the sole National Party Senator in the State.
Prior to joining the Senate in 2022, I dedicated nearly ten years to the NSW Nationals, including as State Director. Alongside political life, I worked across an array of roles including as the Special Projects Director at the Port of Newcastle, where I focused on diversifying the port’s operations and the Hunter region’s economy, including oversight over significant projects including a Multipurpose Deepwater Terminal and alternative energy precincts.
Thank you for your trust and support. I am here to make a difference and contribute to building a better Australia for all.
I have recognised that committee work demands significant time, often more than attending sittings of the Senate itself. As we examine proposed laws, review government expenditures, and listen to the voices of the Australian people, we can shape our nation’s trajectory in a manner that truly reflects the public’s aspirations.
With over 60 parliamentary committees, each has its distinct purpose and mode of operation. Some committees are primarily concerned with investigating national issues, scrutinising legislation, or overseeing government expenditure. In contrast, others focus on domestic affairs, legislative scrutiny, or specific special references.
Currently, I sit on the Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications, Senate Standing Committees on Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade, and Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters.
