Hello. I’m Gary Humphries, your ACT representative in the Senate; a role I’ve now held since 2003. I am very proud of the role I played as a member of the ACT Legislative Assembly for over 14 years, but the most important battles to be fought for Canberra are in the Federal Parliament. My mission as a federal representative is to stand up for Canberra, no matter who its detractors are. The former Liberal Government defined its mission as “Protecting, Securing and Building Australia’s future”, and that sums up my philosophy for Canberra too. We have a wonderful environment; magnificent national institutions; a well planned city; low unemployment; and what I think is the best community in which to raise a family. Of course, no city is perfect, and there is always more work to be done. That’s why I will be working hard to get results on the many local issues – big and small - which matter to this community. That means protecting and promoting our national institutions, supporting the development of new industries and opportunities for economic growth, and working to find solutions to the environmental challenges which face us, particularly the on-going water shortage. Working for this community also means being a strong and persistent advocate for those who need to make their voices heard. If you’ve got a problem, issue or concern, I want to hear from you. And I offer my promise that I will always do everything in my power to get the best result I can for you. Thanks for visiting my website, and I hope you’ll find the information here useful. If you want to know more about anything you read here, would like my help, or just want to pass on a comment, please feel free to contact my office. I look forward to working with all of you to take our great city forward, now and in the years ahead. |
