After growing up in Blackmans Bay, I've spent most of my life living in Franklin including the Channel, the Huon and on the Eastern Shore.
I love the beaches, the forests, the farmland and the rivers of the most beautiful electorate in Tasmania!
I'm a big believer in co-operative politics because my experience is that whether it's a sports club, a community group, a family, or a parliament, things go better when we work together.
I also truly believe that Tasmania is on the cusp of something very special.
Because we've got what the world wants, and what the world is willing to pay for.
If we make the right choices we can achieve levels of prosperity and jobs that will make us the envy of Australia.
Whether it's rolling out fibre to the premises, or aggressively marketing our world class produce and products into national and global markets, we need to think big and back ourselves in.
Tasmania will need real change to achieve this future, and only the Greens offer that change.
If re-elected I will work constructively with whatever parliament voters choose, and reintroduce legislation for marriage equality and voluntary euthanasia.
