By day, I'm a software engineer. I work for a Canberra-based tech startup, helping energy networks prepare for the renewables revolution.

I'm also a lifelong Liberal - I believe the immutable core principles of individual freedom, free enterprise, small government and social responsibility are the right formula for success for Canberra.

As one of the youngest candidates in the race, I get it. It's hard to afford rent and owning a place of your own seems close to impossible.

While the government makes excuses, I’m fighting for a smarter approach to housing – boosting supply to help more people into home ownership, and tax relief to make your rent or mortgage repayments more affordable. You can read more about our policy here.

🏘 Housing affordability is a key issue for me. I believe that owning a home in the Inner North should be an affordable and attainable goal for everyone.

However, this will only happen if we elect a new, smarter government in October that has the confidence to make the necessary hard changes to the planning system and local tax regime.

With your support, I'll also focus on:

• 💵 Reducing rates, taxes, fees, and the cost of living
• 🔎 Bringing integrity and accountability to government
• 📈 Growing Canberra’s private sector and tech industry
• 🏥 Improving government services and reducing waste

A fresh approach and a new smarter government is what we deserve. As your local member, I will raise the standard and fight for better.
