- Ward 48 must come first.

My accountability commitment
- The problem: what is the issue?
- The action: what will be done?
- The responsible authority: who is responsible?
- The timeline: by when?
- The outcome: what will be achieved?
- The next step: what happens after that?

How I will lead
My core commitments: stand up for the community; ask difficult questions; organise and mobilise; follow up until there is action; report back to the community.
Also: do not promise what cannot be delivered; do not take credit for others' work; acknowledge progress; say when something fails.

The independent difference
- People over parties.
- Action over promises.
- Service over political positions.
- Accountability over excuses.
- Community over personal ambition.

Our commitment
People. Action. Accountability. People before politics. Action before promises. Accountability after the election. It is about putting the community first.
