I am a potential Independent For Burt in future elections. Fighting for a better future, especially for the most important yet vulnerable Kids, Youth, Women, and Elderly

Because Australia Deserves Better!

Tired of choosing the least bad option? So am I. Political parties may wear different masks, but in parliament, they unite to serve their own interests—not yours. It’s time for an independent voice that puts Australians first—our youth, families, and elderly.

I’m not here to play politics. I’m here to fight for real change. Will you stand with me?

Most common questions asked

Are you here for money

I have spent my life working hard, just like millions of Australians. My father worked his entire life, securing financial stability, but when he finally had time to enjoy life, 65 years had passed. Now, his grandson—my son—wants to play with him, but he no longer has the energy. This made me realize something important: Money can give us comfort, but it cannot give us time, happiness, or a strong community.

My wife and I are senior IT engineers, and we have been fortunate to build a good life in Australia. If we continue at the same pace, we will have more than enough for ourselves and our children. But what about the society we live in? What about the people struggling with the cost of living, young families afraid to have kids due to rising expenses, or seniors feeling forgotten?

My son was deeply inspired by the healthcare workers who risked their lives during COVID. Since then, he has been drawn to helping people. That made me realize—I want to do the same, not just in my home, but in our nation.

I chose politics not because I need power or wealth, but because I want to create real change. There are good politicians who genuinely care, and I want to be one of them. I want to be a voice for the people who feel unheard.

If you believe in a fairer, stronger, and more compassionate Australia, I invite you to join me in this journey. Together, we can make a difference.

Why didn’t you join any party

I didn’t join any party because I don’t believe in fitting into a system that’s already broken. Parties come with rigid ideologies, internal politics, and the pressure to toe the party line—even when it’s not in the best interest of the people. If I joined a party, I’d have to compromise on what I truly stand for, and that’s not why I’m here.

I believe leadership should be about listening to people, not obeying party bosses. I want the freedom to support good policies, no matter where they come from, and to challenge bad ones without fear of party backlash. My loyalty is to the community, not to a political brand.

That’s why I’m running as an independent—to make decisions based on what’s right, not what’s politically convenient.

What if you didn’t win

Winning an election is just one way to make a difference, but it’s not the only way. My goal isn’t just to get a seat in parliament—it’s to start a movement, to wake people up, and to push for real change.

If I don’t win, I’ll still keep fighting for what’s right. I’ll continue to raise awareness, support the community, and challenge bad policies. A loss at the ballot box doesn’t mean defeat—it just means the journey continues in a different way.

And who knows? Maybe this campaign will inspire others to step up, and together, we’ll create the change Australia needs—whether inside parliament or outside it, to wake people up, and to push for real change.

Why Labor and Liberals dragging the country behind rather than pushing it
Why Freebies Bad for any Country

If the country has a GDP of $2 trillion and a national debt of $1.2 trillion, adding $50 billion in new spending increases the debt burden:

Debt-to-GDP Ratio=((1.2T+50B)/2T)×100

Debt-to-GDP Ratio = (1.25T / 2T) X 100=62.5%

If freebies are funded by printing money, inflation rises due to excess money supply. Suppose:

Expected inflation increase: 0.5% to 1% additional inflation

Normal inflation rate: 3%

Extra money printed: $50 billion

This reduces the purchasing power of citizens, indirectly negating the benefits of freebies.

Enough Talk, What are your policies

If you’ve read this far, you’ll find my policies in the top menu.

There are countless things that need to change in Australia, and trust me, I have a long list. But real change doesn’t happen by making endless promises—it happens by focusing on what matters most right now. That’s why I’m prioritizing a few major issues that directly impact everyday Australians.

Take a look, and if you think something important is missing, let’s talk. I’m here to listen, not just to lead.
