I was born in Gosford, New South Wales on the 26th day of July 1953.

I have lived in all Australian mainland states and territories and have worked in all of them except the ACT and South Australia.

I am self employed and have been since 1978.

I have 3 sisters and one brother, all of which currently live in New South Wales.
I believe in small government and low taxation. I believe passionately in freedom of the individual to be able to go about his or her activities unhindered by unnecessary rules and regulations.

I deplore the massive growth in government in Australia, where today almost 25% of all employees are employed by a government department or “agency”.

I have two children, a girl (23) and a boy(25), who fortunately are both employed in the REAL world.

I love small business people, and often detest petty little public service ‘smart-asses"that I am forced to pay for.

I think the cost and size of all Australian governments, especially in the failed Labor states and territories, is a national scandal which needs immediate attention.
