Victorian State Election · Saturday 28 November 2026
The Brighton Pledge
To the people of Brighton, Elwood, Brighton East and Hampton
I am asking you to send me to Spring Street as your Member for Brighton. In return I make you this promise, in writing, in public and without conditions. If elected, I will:
Never vote for an increase in taxes
Not a new tax. Not a higher rate. Not a levy, charge or fee that is a tax by another name. And never, ever a tax on your home.
Never vote for a reduction in liberty
No law that takes from Victorians a freedom they hold today. Not in a crisis, not for convenience, and not because the party room asks me to.
This pledge binds me for the full term of the next Parliament. If I break it, you will know, because I have put my name to it here.

Victoria doesn't need a course correction. It needs a 180.
