I have lived in Mandurah for over 20 years and my family loves the lifestyle it offers.
My husband and I have been married for 40 years and have 2 children and 2 grandchildren who still live in the Mandurah area.
We love the ocean and regularly swim at some of Mandurah's beautiful beaches close to our home.
I am a keen member of the Mandurah Over 55 Cycling Club and am continually amazed at the beauty of the Mandurah area as I cycle along the ocean front, the estuary and the rivers.
I believe that marriage is the cornerstone of our society. The love on which it is founded and the commitment and dedication needed to make a marriage work, provide a stable environment in which our next generation can be nurtured and grow to be valuable and effective contributors to the future of our country.
I embrace the new laws that allow same sex marriage and see this as a right and a freedom that will enhance and enrich the concepts of family and society.
