What I stand for
A better deal
for NSW.
NSW is charging people more and delivering less — for public transport, mental health, housing, and the basic infrastructure of a decent life. None of that is inevitable. Here's what I'll fight for in Macquarie Street.
Key policy commitments
Public Transport
Paying more. Getting less.
NSW fares have outpaced inflation for years while services were sold off and cut back. You should be able to get around your city without it costing a fortune.
- Statutory 10% fare cap linked to verified operating costs
- Reacquisition of privatised bus and ferry services where the public interest demands it
- Independent oversight of public transport pricing decisions
Mental Health Care
Holding the thread.
In 1983, NSW promised community-based mental health care as psychiatric hospitals closed. Forty years later, that infrastructure was never built. It's time to keep the promise.
- 50 Mental Health Care Coordinators embedded in trusted community organisations across NSW
- Block funding model — not fee-for-service — to preserve genuine care relationships
- Formal clinical interface with Local Health Districts and defined escalation obligations
Night-Time Economy
A city that dies at 10pm isn't a free city.
Lockout laws, COVID, and cost of living pressures have gutted Sydney's cultural life. Live music, late-night hospitality, and the social fabric that makes a city worth living in are all in structural decline.
- Licensing reform and extended trading hours to de-risk supply for hospitality venues
- Wage subsidies for late-night workers to sustain a viable night-time workforce
- Demand stimulation through consumer vouchers — bringing people back out
NSW Environment Service
Clean air. Clean water. Real jobs.
The energy transition is already here — driven by capital markets and four million Australian households with solar, not government permission. The fight now is against the pollution legacy that communities have been bearing for decades.
- A paid civil corps for green skills, conservation, and disaster resilience — with pathways to permanent government roles
- Pollution remediation for communities that spent decades subsidising Sydney's power
- Disaster resilience workforce embedded with RFS and SES for flood and fire recovery
Literacy
85% by 2035.
One in five NSW adults lacks the literacy skills to fully participate in work and civic life. This is not inevitable — it's what happens when educational disadvantage gets treated as someone else's problem for long enough.
- A concrete statewide literacy target: 85% by 2035, with published annual progress reporting
- A "Schools Beating the Odds" partnership program backing high-performing schools in disadvantaged communities
- A capabilities-based accountability framework to keep government honest on outcomes
