Douglas McFarland - Australian Independents
Douglas McFarland is passionate about representing Robertson.
He's intelligent, socially progressive and up to speed with what people in his electorate want and need.
Mr McFarland knows what challenges people in the electorate of Robertson face every day because he faces them himself, he lives in the electorate, he runs a small business in the area - he's the proprietor of McFarland Scottish and Celtic Supplies - and he teaches highland dancing; he's a local.
Mr McFarland is a strong supporter of and advocate for small business.
He is for cutting red tape and administrative requirements for small business.
As a previous Gosford Council Art, Culture and Entertainment Person of the Year he will lobby for arts and culture funding to strengthen and promote this important aspect of our community.
Mr McFarland was attracted to the Australian Independents because our party is the only party in Australia for outlawing personal attacks and bullying, both inside and outside of the party; we stand for respect, genuine representation, real accountability and democracy.
Mr McFarland will push for marriage equality, an immediate ban on Coal Seam Gas and ending homelessness.
Mr McFarland will be a strong voice in parliament for the people of Robertson.
He will ensure that his constituents are listened to and their needs addressed.
