Hi, I'm Gideon, your Kingborough Councillor. I believe in banning corporate political donations that are corrupting the decisions of the major parties.
I'm fighting for climate action, health, housing and a youth job guarantee.
We should be a net-zero emissions council and I'm calling for an ambulance station for the Channel, an Aquatic Centre for the Kingborough Sports Precinct, a Street Tree Strategy, and free, frequent, safe and reliable public transport for our growing municipality.
