In their own words

I’ve spent my professional life helping others. I was born and raised in Dandenong to a mum who was a nurse, and a Dad who was an architect-turned teacher. Now, I live bayside with my big beautiful blended family of four kids, and a golden retriever named Magnus.

How this page is made. Names, parties and ballot positions are from the VEC's official list. Bios and campaign quotes are copied word for word from the candidate's party profile or their own website, and each links to its source: we don't summarise or rate what they say. The issues are the same ones used for sitting members' records, so candidates can be compared on equal terms. Election history comes from official VEC and AEC results. Donations are as published on VEC Disclosures.
