Meet Danny

Before entering Parliament, Danny worked as a consultant, ministerial advisor and Opposition adviser.

Danny believes in the institution of the Parliament. This, and his passion for the labour movement, prompted to run for Parliament.

The priorities Danny has for his community are to build a better community in Essendon, supporting all residents equally.

Danny’s vision for Victoria’s future is that it is a place where everyone is treated fairly, and justice is paramount.

The area of public policy that he is most passionate about is economic policy.
