A happy childhood
I was lucky to have a loving family as a child, and enjoy great experiences like family holidays, but not all children are as lucky. A strong family is a great foundation for a successful life, so it's important families are supported so they can nurture the next generation of Australians.
Our local environment
For several years I've been involved in the Clean Up Australia campaign. I have always been passionate about the environment, and that's why I want to restore the quality of our local creeks and parks.
Passing on knowledge
With hard work and strong discipline I was awarded the title of instructor. I really enjoyed passing on to others the lessons that I had been taught by my teachers.
Helping your family
My family came from a rural background and then moved to the city where my father established and operated a small business for many years. During my teenage years many hours were spent helping my father in the business. When Dad was looking to retire, I returned home to run the business for him.
