Welcome to my Website
I hope you will find it informative and a useful resource for contact with the New South Wales Parliament and for issues of concern to you.
My views over the years have been shaped by my upbringing in a small country town on the mouth of the Snowy River; my 21 year army career; my experience as a small business owner; my family; and my respect for our Australian military history.
My political views are inspired by the heroic commander of the 39th Militia Battalion at the battle of Isurava, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Honner DSO MC. Honner also served his country as State President of our New South Wales Liberal Party and was later appointed as Ambassador to Ireland. He was a distinguished Soldier – Statesman in every respect.
“Honner’s political philosophy embodied the belief that courage, hope, fortitude and endurance are all nutured by conviction. The strong and united community is supported by a continuity of a great tradition. He believed that it is not wealth and power and organisation that hold a society together but its Christian faith.”
I look forward to keeping in touch through our regular newsletters, media releases, blogs and updates to the website.

It certainly has been a bad year for Global warmers and climate change soothsayers. Dire warnings by their High Priest, Tim Flannery, never happened. Brisbane did not run out of water as he predicted [...]

More than 7,000 Australian soldiers lie buried in war cemeteries at Bomana, Lae and Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. Hundreds more lie in unmarked jungle graves. They were fathers, sons and brothers to grieving families back home during the war in the Pacific in 1942. Some were teenagers. These brave Australians sacrificed their lives to [...]
