I believe that a council should focus on the 3 B's: Bins, books, and bitumen. Getting these small things right is the secret to an effective council providing for its residents. For two and a half years I have called Largs North home, but my roots in the Port are deep. From my Great-Grandfather Herbie captaining the Fire Queen on the Port River, my Grandfather Harold working on the wharfs, and my auntie and uncle calling North Haven home for over thirty years, the peninsula has featured throughout my family history. As a committee member of the Semaphore/Port Adelaide RSL you can often find me volunteering behind the bar. I believe our little part of the world, from the ocean to the river and everything in between, is the best place to live. I hope I will have your support to keep it that way.

I am a casual academic with a broad range of interests. I have no vested commercial interests, nor am I affiliated with any minority group or party. I believe in global warming and more importantly, global drying. The plastics problem needs to be addressed because each one of us consumes the weight of a credit card of micro plastics each week. There should be more recycling, not just lip service where the recycling bin goes off to land fill just because of some small breach. I would like to recognize Peter Jamieson for his past service.
