Hi, I’m Chris Kearney, your community-backed Independent candidate for Jagajaga.
My wife and I have lived in Jagajaga for 45 years, raising our family and being active members of this great community. I’ve worked as a teacher, environmental consultant, and business analyst for over 40 years, across the education, transport, finance, electricity, and telecommunications sectors. I hold tertiary qualifications in science, education, and computing and have partnered in multiple small businesses
The Community Independent movement in Jagajaga asked me to run as their candidate. At first, I was reluctant, but my desire to secure a better future for my children and grandchildren inspired me to step forward.
We need action on climate, stronger integrity in politics, and a fairer society for all. It's time for positive, visionary solutions to create a prosperous future.
I’ll be out volunteering with the Voices of Jagajaga in the lead-up to the election. I’d love to hear what matters most to you and your family at our street meets and door knocks. Your feedback will shape the policies we've already developed based on community surveys.
Free from the influences of corporate donations and the party politics of the major parties, together we can bring true representative democracy to Jagajaga.
By voting Independent, we can build the brighter future we all want for our families.
Your Voice, Our Future.
Chris Kearney
My policies are informed by you.
These are the top four issues that came from surveys conducted by the Voices of Jagajaga. The report is available here.
Renewables: Our Future Now!
Our changing weather and extreme events are caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. Insurance costs are rising to cover the damage caused by these changes. To slow and reverse this, we must stop releasing these harmful gases into the environment as soon as possible.
Make Living Affordable Again!
Families are struggling as their take-home pay isn’t keeping up with inflation. Rising costs for childcare, housing, and medical bills are pushing them to their limits. Families need relief so they can enjoy their lives in a secure and thriving society.
Housing Every Australian
Secure housing is essential for everyone’s health and well-being. We must ease the pressure on house prices and ensure public housing is available for those who cannot afford private housing, so everyone can fully participate in society.
Integrity First, Always
Politicians should represent and answer only to the voters in their communities. We need laws and rules to stop outside groups from influencing decisions at the expense of voters.
Respect for All
Australians value a fair go for all, and the Jagajaga community embodies inclusivity, generosity, and a welcoming spirit.
