- What is your association with Greater Dandenong?

I am an author of the twelve book historical fact series "History of the World in a Year by the Conservative Voice" I live in Redgum Ward of Greater Dandenong ever since I failed as a whistleblower over a child's death from school neglect and lost everything. I'm a Math School teacher by trade. My late father ran the Board of Studies in Victoria under Kennett and later Bracks. 

I'm told "Since moving to Redgum Ward of Greater Dandenong from Sydney where I was actively involved in pushing for greater transparency and accountability in the NSW school system, I have grown to love this wonderful neighbourhood and its people. etc"reads better

- Are you aligned or involved in any political groups?

I am not a member of any political party, but I am a member of the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) but not a representative of theirs. I am an economic conservative with Libertarian leanings. I differ with Libertarians in that I favour zero tolerance on drugs whereas they promote deregulation. 

- What is the biggest issue facing Greater Dandenong and how would you tackle it?

Business costs are too high in Greater Dandenong, meaning that youth unemployment is too high. If council can reign in costs and focus on essential services, and cut red tape on business, everyone profits.
