The former state representative for the mining and pastoral region,
robin is currently the West Australian director of the minerals policy
institute and co-convener of friends of australian rock art.
Robin has a long history of contributing to regional WA having worked
for a major mining corporation, been a Port Hedland Councilor for 7
years, helped establish the first environment group in the Hedland area
and chaired the inaugural North West Games. He was later on the board
of management of the Northern Goldfields Federal Rangeways Project,
which studied sustainable land use, pastoralism and the impacts of
mining and tourism, and was a member of the Rural Assessment Panel for
Land Care in the Pilbara, Gascoyne Murchison and the Kimberley’s.
Robin believes that Kalgoorlie, WA’s and Australia’s most significant
economic hub remains devoid of many of the economic benefits it
deserves.
In Kalgoorlie, Robin will take action to:
o Implement a sustainable water management plan for regional WA, keeping Kimberley water for the Kimberly’s
o Develop a non monoculture and broad scale expansion of the Ord Scheme
o Prevent a nuclear waste dump and uranium mining in WA
o Encourage sustainable development
o Increase investment in health facilities throughout the region, and seek proper redress for the Kimberley herbicide workers
o Support investment in Aboriginal health to close the gap in life
expectancy between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians
o Protect WA’s rich Aboriginal culture and heritage
