Candidate Profiles
Georgina Downer
Liberals
O
n 18 May, voters in Mayo will join
their fellow Australians to choose
their government for the next three
years.
Voting isn’t simply a democratic right. It’s a
democratic responsibility. It’s important that
we exercise it by considering not only
what’s best for us, but for our community
and our nation.
Mayo is my community and my home. I’m
standing for election as a member of the
Liberal team because I know our
electorate, and our country, will be better
off under a re-elected Coalition
Government with a strong record of
successful economic management which
has delivered great outcomes for Mayo.
I’m a mother of two who cares deeply about
the future we’re creating for our children.
I’ve got experience in law, diplomacy and public policy, working to help create a better a future. I want
to give back to the community I have always called home, and that’s why I’m working hard to earn your
support.
I’m standing as part of a team whose successful management of the economy is delivering a Budget
surplus for first time in years, more than $150 billion in personal income tax relief for 94% of
Australians, investing $100 billion in roads and other infrastructure, providing record funding for health,
education and aged care, guaranteeing Medicare, keeping Australians safe, and securing our borders.
Our community and our country cannot risk the election of a Labor government and its $387 billion in
new taxes. Our economy can’t afford Bill Shorten’s higher taxes on retirees, housing, income,
investments, family businesses and cars.
A vote for any other candidate in Mayo only helps Bill Shorten and Labor.
I have a vision for Mayo. It’s been informed by thousands of conversations and meetings with residents,
businesses, local governments and community groups, and it relies on a strong economy managed by
a re-elected Coalition Government.
My vision includes increasing the availability of vital services such as public transport, upgrading our
local hospitals and other health services (especially mental health), reducing the cost of living and
doing business, and ensuring quality care for older and disabled Australians. It includes stronger
support for key industries in Mayo like agriculture and tourism.
My vision includes caring for our coasts, supporting local initiatives addressing climate change along
with Australia being part of meaningful global efforts to reduce emissions, protection of our natural
heritage and delivering a Basin Plan which ensures the health of the River Murray.
And it includes smart infrastructure investments to bust congestion, create jobs and trade for local
businesses, deliver reliable and effective broadband and mobile communications, and create healthier
and safer communities. An example is my advocacy for Federal investment in safer intersections as
part of the duplication of Main South Road.
My vision is never going to be complete, nor should it. It will evolve and develop because it’s primarily
about always working with the people of Mayo to make our community a better place. It’s not just my
vision; it’s your vision too.

Anne Bourne
The Greens
H
ello, I’m Anne Bourne, the
Greens Candidate for Mayo.
I live in Goolwa and am self-
employed there as a psychologist.
I am a single parent and proud
grandmother.
I have worked for over 45 years in
community services and health in
various capacities – as a
psychologist, counsellor,
community development worker,
and in management, social and
health policy development,
research, quality assurance,
project management, occupational
health and safety, equal
opportunity and adult education.
I have worked with children,
adolescents and adults; survivors
of violence and abuse, homeless
people, refugees and asylum
seekers, older people, children in foster care, indigenous communities, the gay and lesbian community,
and people living with HIV and Hepatitis C.
Why vote for me? Because I have integrity, honesty and respect for all. I have the ability to think
carefully about complex and long term solutions to problems we are facing right now, and into the
future.
A vote for me and The Greens is a vote for all Australians. It is a vote for economic and environmental
sustainability, for peace and non-violence, for justice and fairness for all, and for the importance of all
citizens being able to meaningfully engage in the democratic process.
Only the Greens have a comprehensive plan to tackle climate change; to establish a renewable
economy, to create new jobs, and to support workers and communities to transition from fossil fuel
industries to cheaper and reliable energy.
I am standing for The Greens because they are the party that has compelled the major parties to listen
and respond to issues such as climate change, marriage equality, the Banking Royal Commission, the
Disability Royal Commission, and a national anti-corruption ICAC. The major parties are still failing to
address the big issues: growing economic and social inequality, increasing costs, decreased housing
affordability, ecological devastation of the Murray Darling Basin and endangered species, and
accompanying impacts on agriculture, rural communities, our food and water supplies.
I want Australia to meet its responsibilities as a global citizen, and be respected for leadership in human
rights. I want a country that is visionary and innovative, seeking practical and inclusive solutions to
challenges we face, based on solid research and science applied with compassion and concern for all
Australians
I am ready to represent you in Canberra.

Helen Dowland
Animal Justice Party
H
elen was born in Sydney and lived there until she
was 7 when her parents decided they would move
to Adelaide and Helen has lived in Adelaide ever
since. She spent a year in the US as an exchange
student in an iconic part of the 60s. Helen discovered the
AJP by chance in early 2018 and has been a member
ever since. She was absolutely thrilled to find there’s a
political party actually working for animals and she’s
learnt so much from the AJP.
Helen volunteered in the SA state election last year, and
has been an active member of the AJP Media Group for
a year. She is very proud to stand as a candidate for the
AJP as it is a wonderful example of what a political party
really should be. Helen will do everything she can to work
for it and help and promote it in every way possible.
Helen has a BSc (1969) in Physics and Maths from
Flinders University, and a Dip Ed (1988) from Adelaide
University. Helen mostly worked as a Senior Research
Officer, first leading a science research team at the
University of Adelaide for over 20 years. Then at the SA
Police Department where she gained experience in a wider range of issues including legal work,
demography and women’s issues. Like the police department, a political party is involved across the full
range of issues of its citizens. Helen feels she can offer that versatility, and has a very strong vocation
to help animals.

United Australia Party
U
nited Australia Party stands for and is committed in its
efforts and vision to carry out the following functions:
Party Officials should not be Lobbyists, thereby taking a
strong position on Paid Political Lobbyists, saving tax payers
dollars and introducing Fair Policies
Revising the current Australian Government’s Refugee Policy to
ensure Australia is protected and refugees are given opportunities
for a better future and lifestyle
Creating Mineral Wealth to continuously contribute to the welfare
of the Australian community. This will be achieved by utilising
mineral resources from Queensland and Western Australia, and
incentives from the Commonwealth of Australia to establish
downstream processing in the States of Victoria, New South
Wales and South Australia; and exporting products at a higher
dollar value, thereby creating more revenue, jobs, tax and more
facilities.
Establishing a System where people create wealth in various parts of the country and for that wealth to
flow back to the Community that generates the wealth. For example, if a particular region creates
wealth, a significant percentage of that wealth should go back to the region.

Saskia Gerhardy
Labor
I
have been lucky enough to
have grown up throughout
the region of Mayo. My
family has lived on the
Fleurieu Coast for all my life
and I have grown up enjoying
this lovely community we live
in. It is a wonderful region,
and I feel so lucky to be
surrounded by such beautiful
landscapes, the food and of
course the community.
Since my early teens I have
been an active member of the
community, participating in
numerous action groups. I
have been involved in
developing and implementing
youth groups as the Project
Officer of the Willunga
Environment Centre and have
worked as an SSO at the
Willunga Primary School. I
studied Biodiversity at Flinders University and have recently completed my honours at Adelaide
University.
My biggest passions are youth and the environment. I have placed a strong focus on working alongside
the region’s youth, having been appointed as the coordinator of the Willunga Trees for Life group, as
well as recently becoming the inaugural Young Landcare Ambassador. A role which promotes
engagement with young people and their environmental projects.
I have been excited to work with a Labor team that is taking real action on climate change and bring
power prices down. As an environmental educator, this is an issue that I am personally passionate
about. I believe South Australia, as a renewable energy leader, will reap great rewards from Labor’s
policies for cheaper, greener power and electric vehicles.
Furthermore, Labor aims to reduce Australia’s pollution by 45 per cent by 2030 and net zero pollution
by 2050.
Importantly for South Australian's, Labor will ensure the Murray-Darling basin plan is delivered in full.
By lifting the arbitrary cap on buybacks and reversing the State Liberal government’s capitulation to the
upstream States, Labor will maintain the health of the Murray for future generations. All along the
Murray River in our State, communities and the environment have been suffering due to inaction and
the decisions of upstream politicians. Local farmers, business owners and residents have been
continually disappointed by a lack of policies aimed to tackle climate change or to get our River Murray
flowing again.
Of course, we are also committed to ensure every worker gets a living wage and restore penalty rates
to 130,000 South Australians whose take-home pay has been cut. Tax cuts under Labor will give more
to those on low incomes who needs it most. Being a young person myself, I know how important these
penalty rates are to young people and the rest of the community.
Labor is the only party that is committed to making Medicare work for us all. We all know someone who
has been affected by cancer, and Labor’s $2.3 billion plan to tackle cancer will help patients focus on
getting better without having to worry about how to pay for it. There will thousands of residents of Mayo
who will benefit from this policy.
Whether it is at a local fair, door-knocking or on the phone, I look forward to talking about the issues
with you in the weeks to come.
Aldinga Bay’s Coastal Views Page 10 May 2019 www.abra.org.auRebekha Sharkie
Centre Alliance
M
y name is Rebekha Sharkie and for the past three years I have had the privilege of being your
Federal Member for
Mayo.
I put my hand up to stand for the
electorate of Mayo in 2016
because I was tired of seeing
our region being taken for
granted as a ‘safe blue ribbon
seat’ and I decided to be the
change I wanted to see in our
community.
I am a member of Centre
Alliance (formerly the Nick
Xenophon Team).
We sit the middle of politics,
between the two major parties,
taking a sensible, evidence-
based approach to public policy.
Since winning office I have
worked hard to make Mayo
matter, standing up to the
Government when it comes to
greater protections for the River Murray, the need for Banking Royal Commission and the phasing out
of long-haul sheep exports.
But I have also worked with the Government to deliver better outcomes for our community including:
• A Medicare Service Centre for the South Coast
• $20M for drug rehabilitation in SA, including Mayo
• A Medicare rebatable MRI service in Mount Barker
• 24-hour Dr and renal dialysis at Mount Barker Hospital
• $3M for youth mental health services in Mayo
• Returning $4.6M to Mayo councils for local roads
• Securing an extra $424M for SA schools under Gonski reforms
• $60M for apprenticeship mentoring
• $50M for Advanced Manufacturing Fund
• An energy assistance payment for pensioners
I have introduced a satellite office at Victor Harbor so our community on the Fleurieu and South Coast
can access face-to-face electorate office support without travelling to the Hills.
I am advocating for more reliable telecommunications, more spending on roads and public
infrastructure, better public transport options, improved dental and health services, a Federal Anti-
Corruption Commission, an independent and adequately resourced ABC, transparency of aged care
staffing ratios, more Home Care Packages, an independent agency to set the age pension and stronger
policies on climate action.
Centre Alliance is opposed to Labor’s policies on franking credits. We don’t support retrospective
legislation and we believe Australians have made long-term financial decisions based on the policies of
the day.
I always put our community first by being an independent voice in Canberra.
Finally, we have so much to achieve together so I am asking for your vote so we can continue to make
Mayo Matter.

n the first stage of
its opening, visitors
are able to walk,
run, cycle, bird
watch, picnic and
visit lookout
platforms.
Opportunities for
other activities,
including shore-

explored in the
future.
The opening of
Myponga Reservoir
Reserve has affirmed
the State
Government’s
commitment to
opening reservoirs
for recreation across
the state.
Myponga Reservoir
is now open between 7.30 am and 5.00 pm
for visitors to walk, run and cycle around
bushland tracks with water views, enjoy
picnics, and visit lookouts and viewing
platforms to see and photograph wildlife
and scenic vistas.
Additional new recreational access
opportunities will be made available at other
reservoir reserves around the state,
including South Para where 180,000
fingerlings have been released.
A cross-government taskforce has been
ensuring every aspect from roads and
infrastructure, through to tourism, is
carefully considered and factored into the
planning.
Protecting the health and quality of drinking
water supplies is the first priority, and this is
informing the types of activities being
enabled, which will vary from site to site
based on their individual characteristics like
water volume, visitor facilities and the water
treatment infrastructure.

An international radio distress signal used especially by ships and aircraft. It got its start as an
international distress call in 1923 but was not made official until 1948. It was the idea of Frederick

“mayday" because it sounded like the French word m'aider, which means “help me.

T
he Aldinga Community Shed (The Shed) is
celebrating 10 years of service after
officially opening its doors 7 May 2009.
The need for a community shed was identified by
a group of local men who recognised that a
venue was required where men dealing with life
changing circumstances such as retirement,
semi-retirement, unemployment or incapacitation
could meet. The Shed was built after years of
fundraising supported by grants from all levels of
government.
The Shed offers a variety of activities which
include carpentry, wood carving, wood turning,
pottery and other crafts and is available to
community members of all backgrounds, abilities,
age and gender. All programs are supported by
experienced volunteers who are willing to share
their skills and knowledge.
The Aldinga Community Shed is located on
Stewart Avenue, Aldinga Beach. For more
