My plan for Flinders
Flinders is an area that has and will always be special to me.
I was born and grew up in the Flinders Electorate and I’m proud to call it home.
By working together, I believe we can build a stronger and healthier community.
I will continue to work with the community for better facilities and services in the electorate.
