My entrance into politics as an independent candidate is a cautious attempt to further the causes I have been working for through my career: equitable access to healthy, dignified housing and sustainable, resilient and beautiful built environment everywhere, among others.

My general position is environmentally conscious yet moderately conservative, a perspective missing in the traditional party spectrum. I put ideas before ideologies, policies before politics.

From my track record:

• I established Architects Assist, an initiative uniting over 600 Australian architectural firms who provide pro bono (free) services to those affected by natural and other disasters.
• My free architectural plans for affordable homes have been downloaded by over 20,000 people, with new homes being built across Australia.
• I’ve provided thousands of people with knowledge and empowerment to build their homes and futures via lectures, presentations and online media.

My wife Sasha has been an equal, if quiet contributor to this work.

Qualifications

My profession of architecture unites all aspects of human existence, such as health, economy, ecology, ethics, art, history and science. A good architect seeks to balance all these.

A good architect also seeks to balance the boldness of ideas with the humility of character. The same should apply in politics.

Intentions

I don not assume I know everything. I ask the right people the right questions at the right time, then make decisions.

I believe in polite, calm and respectful political discussion and will not engage in anything else.
