Welcome to my WebsiteI hope you will find it an informative and useful resource for contact with the local Council and for issues of concern to you. I was elected to Fairfield City Council, at the most recent election held in September 2008, my primary goal for change has been to improve the delivery time and quality of Council services to local residents and the community. My political views are inspired by the heroic commander of the 39th Militia Battalion at the battle of Isurava, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Honner DSO MC. Honner also served his country as State President of our New South Wales Liberal Party and was later appointed as Ambassador to Ireland. He was a distinguished Soldier - Statesman in every respect. "Honner's political philosophy embodied the belief that courage, hope, fortitude and endurance are all nutured by conviction. The strong and united community is supported by a continuity of a great tradition. He believed that it is not wealth and power and organisation that hold a society together but its faith." I look forward to keeping in touch through my regular newsletter, blogs and updates to the website. Latest News

The media pack worked overtime to hide it, but questions now need to be asked relating to the just completed federal election. We don’t yet know how the results will allow the parliament to form, if the ALP or the Liberal party will form government. But there are some other issues that demand our consideration too. Who will lead the ALP next week, and who will lead it the week after? Read the rest of this entry »
It is a fortnight since Gillard rolled Rudd, surprising her own party who desperately wanted something to assure them that the poll results they were reading were wrong. Media analysis had ignored the situation, and so the public were surprised by the desperation of the act. It is accepted wisdom that Rudd was the worst PM Australia has ever had, but it was hoped inertia would be sufficient to keep the ALP in government. Indeed, in January 2010, the current position seemed impossible. Read the rest of this entry »
As with all politics, nothing happens in a vacuum. Penrith is surrounded by other suburbs. Federal, state and local politics play their role. Perception of parties and loyalties come into play. It is a fact that the swing against the incumbent in the recent Penrith by election was the largest ever for the seat, and possibly Australia. And still there are some nine months before the next state election. Read the rest of this entry »
