My personal values are derived from humanism and are consistent with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We have a right to a job, a home, good health and social security. We should not be subject to discrimination and our environment should be protected.

I have been active in a wide range of community groups all my adult life and know how important community is and that it needs to be actively nurtured. I was treasurer of the Lifelong Learning Council Queensland for several years, secretary of the Humanist Society of Queensland, president of the Butterfly and Other Invertebrates Club, co-ordinator of a community garden and leader of a bushcare group. I am best known as the Butterfly Man and co-authored a book, “Create More Butterflies”, about 48 local butterflies.

I have supported solidarity actions for the women of Rojava in northern Syria and the egalitarian society they have created there. I hope that one day the women of Iran and Afghanistan will also be free.
