In their own words

I’m a Surf Coast local, environmentalist and climate advocate, running to make Polwarth a place where both people and the planet can thrive. From Torquay to the Otways and our hinterland, our communities face rising seas, extreme weather, and housing pressures but I know we can face these challenges head on with thoughtful leadership and collective effort.
