 Treaties embed solutions to the subculture of poverty facing our Families through cultural transmission, funerals, education, jobs, home ownership, and higher living standards for all Families.

 I come from a long line of leaders. Over the last three years I have been an active part of the Assembly Chamber, Treaty and Yurpa Committees.

 I support the urgent recognition of all credible Victorian Nations including Bidwell, Yatmaithang, Monero-Ngarigu, Dhudhuroa, Waywurru, Ngurai Illum Wurrung, Barapa Barapa, Wadi Wadi, Tati Tati, and Nyeri Nyeri.

 I will surgically assert the Human, Cultural and Treaty Rights of all Peoples without fear or favour.

 Further, Treaty and Native Title rights and benefits must be distributed across all Families on an equitable basis.

 I have embedded over six decades of diverse experiences, values, skills and knowledge in law and human rights, education, employment, cultural heritage protection, Ancestral repatriations, native title, land justice and Treaty issues. I totally understand the local, regional, state and national intersections and connections.

 Treaties must be localised. I will fight for your Treaty rights, locally, regionally, statewide and nationally.
