Our Campaign
Serving The Community
Jack is an active child protection campaigner, working with community to advocate for reform of the child safety system, and implementation of the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry. He's also passionate about transparency in government, reforming donation laws, and delivering improved housing and rental rights. Jack is standing for election as an Independent in Bass, because he believes in fostering direct democracy, and bridging the gap between Parliament and Community.
Supporting Health Access
A core foundation of good healthcare is supporting and nurturing its practitioners. Nurses and midwives perform a vital function, one that has been compromised by a consistent disregard for humanistic priorities at the highest level of government in Tasmania , for both patient and medical practitioner. They should be listened to for their rights and wellbeing, and to deliver better healthcare.
Close Ashley
Ashley Child Prison, also known as Ashley Youth Detention Centre, was the focus of the recent Commission of Inquiry with dozens of recommendations and findings relating to serious abuse of children. Despite a clear recommendation that it must close as soon as possible, it remains open. We need to #closeAshley to drive safety for children and a new therapeutic model of care.
Delivering Integrity
There are serious issues with Tasmanian politics, with the poorest donation disclosure laws in the country, and the major parties giving in to vested interests. It's time to #makethechange that we need for a healthier democracy, and real accountability for those in charge.
