In a word, describe your political views.
Labor
What are the three most important issues in Kennedy?
Arresting community decline through education, through health and through infrastructure.
Why did you decide to stand for election?
Being here for over a decade, things in Ingham kind of ground to a halt and I thought "what`s going on?", and I started making a bit of noise and the Labor Party said "You had better put your hand up Andrew`.
Who is your political hero, and why?
I've got two - Gough Whitlam opened a chapter of Australia that allowed many people who couldn`t otherwise go to university to go, and John Button.
