Here to Help.
As your local Member of Parliament, my job is to be your voice, in Parliament and on the ground.
That means listening to your concerns, raising the issues that matter to you, and working hard to deliver practical outcomes for our region. Whether you're navigating government services, need help with a local issue, or want to share an idea to improve our community, my team and I are here to help.
I've built my team to be where it matters most: staff based locally across the electorate, and a dedicated representative in Perth keeping strong relationships with industry, government and decision-makers. Too often, regional WA is treated as out of sight, out of mind. I'm determined to change that. By keeping Warren–Blackwood on the agenda and the door open to the community, we make sure our region isn't just heard, it's respected and supported.
"I want Warren–Blackwood front of mind in every room where decisions are being made."
The regions earn it. They should see it come back.
I didn't set out to go into politics. I'm a third-generation farmer, and running the farm was always the plan. What changed my mind was watching the money leave.
Our farms, forests, mines and small towns generate a huge share of what this state runs on. Royalties for Regions was the fair, simple promise that a proper share of it comes back, and that local people have a say in what gets built with it. Schools, hospitals, sporting facilities, the basics a family counts on. You shouldn't be a second-class citizen because of your postcode.
My worry is a plain one. Money promised to the regions has a way of thinning out before it arrives, redirected to the city, or quietly counted toward things that were always going to be funded anyway. I don't think anyone is acting in bad faith. I think it is what happens when the people making the call are a long way from where the decision lands. They don't see what it does to a farm, a business, or a family.
My job is to stand in that gap. To make sure the regions get what they were promised, and that it is never quietly signed away without us having a say.
And here is the thing that keeps me at it: democracy doesn't stop at the ballot box. The tools to make government listen already exist. Most people just don't know they're holding them.

So let me show you.
The tools are already yours.
Four that do most of the work. Tap one to see how it works, and how I can help.
Public Submission
When government or a parliamentary committee opens a consultation or inquiry, anyone can put their view in writing. It goes on the official record.
When there's an open review, inquiry or draft policy on something you care about.
I can tell you what's open, help you shape a submission that gets read, and carry its points into the Chamber.
Petition
A formal request to Parliament, signed by members of the public. Once tabled, it puts your issue on the record and calls for action.
When a lot of people share the same concern and you want to show its weight.
A petition has to be presented by a Member. I can present yours in the Assembly and speak to it.
Question on Notice
A written question a Member puts to a Minister. The Minister has to answer on the record, in writing.
When you need facts, figures or a straight answer the government would rather not give.
I lodge questions on notice. Bring me the specific question and the evidence, and I'll put it to the Minister.
Committee Inquiry
Parliamentary committees investigate an issue in depth and take evidence from the public.
When something needs proper scrutiny, beyond a single question.
I can push for issues to be examined and help you give evidence when an inquiry is running.
"I'm one mouthpiece in Parliament. Give me the evidence, and I can make it carry a lot further than one vote."
