James Haggerty
Candidate for the Electorate of Grayndler, NSW
I want there to be a place in Australian politics where evidence based reforms are explored without fear, reminding Australians and our major parties that there's more to successful government than narrow self-interest and winning elections. I believe the Fusion Party can give us that opportunity by expounding optimistic and realistic paths to a better Australia and a better world, and I'm keen to bring our enthusiasm to as many people as I can.
