Why Fusion

I'm Matthew McMillan and I'm running for the seat of Adelaide with the Fusion Party Australia because I would like to see democracy here start working for the people. I had to put my hand up to put forward ideas and speak up for the people when I realised there wasn't a great option available to advocate for our community. Being engaged with the community and representing people's interests is the most important part of democracy, and I am committed to ensuring the voices of Adelaide are heard.

I'm an Adelaide local from the western suburbs, studied commerce and finance at the University of South Australia while working in hospitality. I've been working since my early teens in a variety of roles, but always ended up in leadership positions where I could resolve issues with the people around me and make improvements. Most recently I've been working in rail safety and security, ensuring the safety of everyone travelling.

Having worked in hospitality for so long, I met so many interesting people but always heard a common thread. Our systems are letting people down now. Almost everyone is struggling and for some reason, simple policy solutions are ignored. We need people who represent our interests. My vision for Australia is progressive and forward thinking, with clear ideas about how to improve. I'm hopeful enough people share my vision and can see the changes we can make together. Changes based on evidence and research with the best interests of the people in mind.
