The 2022 election is crucial in a range of areas. Martin has said that he intends to focus his campaign on climate change, young people and corruption – issues about which he is passionate and very much of interest to Bradfield residents.

“We are already witnessing the impacts of climate change - more extreme heat waves, drought, fire and floods. Government needs to treat climate change seriously and act urgently to avoid its worst impacts. Fortunately, Australia is incredibly well placed to benefit in a low-carbon economy. We can build low-cost renewable energy and export low carbon products around the world, bringing massive growth in our clean manufacturing industries, and we can reduce our dependence on high-cost imported oil."
