Platform

I am running for parliament on a platform of technology and innovation. South Australia has an opportunity to pioneer new industries and create new jobs, and Boothby has its own part to play in that vision. Let’s have at least one member of parliament with actual technology credentials.


ECONOMY

The future of Boothby and South Australia will come by creating new products, services and industries. We must act soon.


EDUCATION

Investment in education is the foundation of our economic future. Pioneering new models of education must be a priority.


BROADBAND

South Australia needs a first-class, fibre-to-the-home network to capitalise on our economic opportunities.


ENVIRONMENT

Rather than argue about it, let’s have South Australia lead the way in new solutions to environmental issues.


HEALTHCARE

We have an enviable system that’s becoming more expensive each year. We need new innovative models of healthcare delivery.


EQUALITY

No matter the issue, the answer must be approached with kindness, compassion and fairness.
