Grateful for the support that I've received this morning. It's been a fantastic couple of weeks for
00:05
me speaking to local branch members in the ALP seeking support for this pre-selection, so I feel
00:12
very honoured this morning to have been pre-selected by the ALP. I'm very grateful for
00:18
the PM being here this morning to support me. Just wanted to also acknowledge the work of Stephen.
00:22
Stephen's been a very capable MP here in Whitlam for 15 years. He's made an amazing impact here on
00:29
our region. He's also someone that's gained a lot of respect across the Australian community
00:34
for all of his work, particularly in his role as Assistant Treasurer. Stephen is someone who
00:38
has worn his heart on his sleeve. He's someone who has touched millions of Australians, particularly
00:43
with his compassionate approach to leadership, and I intend to emulate that approach when I
00:49
hopefully win this election as well. So, a bit about me. I'm a local mum. I've lived in
00:54
Neelawarra for 25 years. My husband's here. We've raised our family here in Neelawarra.
00:59
I'm someone who's given back to our local community. I'm someone who cares about our
01:03
local community, so I've been very actively involved. I've been a soccer mum. I've been
01:08
I've been on so many years, I can barely remember the number, so I'm someone who's
01:13
really tried to give back. In terms of my professional experience, I'm someone who
01:18
comes with a lot of professional experience. I have been a lawyer. I have worked with both state
01:23
and federal governments. I've been the local CEO. I was the CEO of the Neelawarra Women's
01:28
Health Centre here in Roralla. I stood up for women's health. I believe very passionately in
01:33
women's health. I also stood up for women who are risking domestic violence. I've also been
01:39
the CEO of the Disability Trust. So, the Disability Trust is one of the largest providers of disability
01:44
services in Australia and has its head offices here in Neelawarra. So, I'm someone who's given
01:50
back to our community for decades. I'm very passionate about standing up for this community
01:55
and I can't wait to get started.
