No money. No office. No chance, apparently.

They've already decided Yan Yean doesn't matter.
Let's ruin that for them.

I'm a dad of three under six, my wife is a primary school teacher, and I'm running here because the system is rigged against ordinary families and it's rigged on purpose. Everything I'm doing is on this page.

Text or ring any time if you'd rather have a chat than read a website. I answer my own phone, so give it a minute if I'm at the school gate.

Why I'm running

I was a school business manager. That's where I learned what a rigged system actually looks like. There are no villains in it. Just rules that quietly guarantee the wrong outcome, and everyone shrugging because they followed them.

And it isn't only schools. It's a system doing exactly what it was built to do, and once you see it you see it everywhere. On your power bill. On your rent. On the road you sit on for two hours a day.

So I'm running. Not because I'm a politician, I'm plainly not. I'm running because I'd rather do something about it than sit here and complain.

If any of that rings a bell, come and find me.

Put your name down for something if you've got a spare couple of hours. Come to the lunch if you just want a feed and a chat. Or ring me and tell me I've got it wrong, because that's a conversation too and I'd rather hear it now than on election day.

Good chats are inevitable.
