About Jamie

I’ve been a resident of the Parkes electorate for more than 35 years; My wife Judy and I have raised four children in Gunnedah.

I’m a boilermaker by trade and joined the family engineering business 28 yrs ago. The business has grown to now employs over 130 people, and late last year I handed the business down to my children, making them the third generation.

I have served my community as Gunnedah Shire Mayor for 8 years as well as being an active member of community groups including Gunnedah Rotary, RFS and the Anglican church. 

I am passionate about regional Australia and will work hard to continue the legacy of Mark Coulton MP, advocating tirelessly to ensure our region gets its fair.

My priorities for Parkes

  • Working with you to understand the changing needs of your community and how I can best serve our region.
  • Advancing the completion of the Inland Rail project.
  • Empowering population growth and fostering sustained opportunities for regional people.
  • Enhancing value through processing regional commodities, creating jobs in raw agricultural product sectors.
  • Long-term objective: increasing water availability in the Northern Basin.
  • Securing prosperity and career opportunities for our youth.
