Empowering Aston's Future

Andrew Williams - Independent Voice for Aston

I am putting together a list of my policy ideas.  These are thought bubbles – so to speak.

As an independent, my role is to represent the views of the Aston voters.  I can only achieve this if the Aston voters provide me feedback, thoughts, alternative views and new ideas.

I am going into this election campaign with the full knowledge that my ideas will not be appealing to every voter.  I fully appreciate that I will never please 100% of the people, 100% of the time.  Achieving 100% is unrealistic.  If you find a political candidate or party that you 100% agree with – then vote for them, that is a great outcome.

My role as an independent is to influence the conversation, get the major parties to consider new ideas, new approaches and new concepts. – This is the true value of an independent in an election campaign.

Latest Posts for my Campaign

The rules of the comments section are simple.  I don’t mind if you disagree – that is democracy at work.  Any posts that are made which are insulting, using offensive language, promote hate or division against people, groups or communities will be removed and not responded too.

I am seeking feedback and I am not providing a forum to engage in anti-social or racist rants.

I love our community and all the positive things that we at Aston stand for.  This is what this site is about.  Respect that, respect each other and respect that we acheive a lot through respectful dialog.

Energy and climate change

Domestic Family Violence Statement

My local plans

As a local independent candidate, my focus is and will be on improving Aston. I will be a voice for Aston, not a voice for a political party. As discussed in an earlier post, I am committed to improving Public Transport Services to Aston.  This would examine extending...

Middle East Conflict

The attacks on 07 October 2023 by Hamas is exactly the reason why Hamas is and must continue to be considered a Terrorist Organisation in Australia.  I acknowledge the arguments put forward about the political issues in Palestine, however, the attack on innocent...

Immigration

What we know The major parties talk tough on immigration, but the fact is that over the past decade, we have seen the numbers of ‘unlawful non-citizens’, continue to significantly increase. By way of explanation, an ‘unlawful non-citizen’ is a person who has stayed in...

US Political Situation

I have been asked a couple of times whether I am a "Trump" supporter. To dispel any myths and misinformation, my position is as follows. Donald Trump was democratically elected by the people of the United States as their President. He was not elected by the people of...
