Leon Gardiner is standing as the One Nation candidate for Goldstein to challenge the failures of the major parties, which have driven up energy and housing costs, expanded government overreach, and undermined individual freedoms. A long-time Goldstein resident, Leon is committed to delivering practical, results-driven policies that put Australians first and restore accountability to government.

“For too long, politicians have lied to us, making decisions that increase the cost of living and housing, restrict personal freedoms, and betray Australian values,” Leon says.

With a background as an architect and economist, Leon brings decades of corporate, infrastructure, and governance experience to the table. He believes fixing broken bureaucracy and removing duplication will drive down energy and housing costs, stimulate job creation, and boost economic growth.

“We need to cut through the bureaucratic tape that is suffocating industries and forcing everyday Australians to pay more for necessities. I want to see practical, business-led solutions to energy production, infrastructure, and environmental protection without the fear-driven climate hysteria pushed by the radical activists who have infiltrated our government and bureaucracy." he says.

Leon will work effectively to ensure Goldstein has strong local representation that delivers for the community. He will be a strong advocate for local community initiatives.

“Governments have had decades to fix these issues, yet all we’ve seen are empty promises and wasted taxpayer dollars. I will push for appropriate migration levels, science-based policies, increased transparency in government spending, and practical environmental solutions while protecting individual freedoms,” he says.

Leon is a dedicated family man and active member of the Goldstein community. He runs a professional consultancy and health charity in Sandringham, has served his country and assisted many community organisations and schools. He believes that only One Nation has the courage and commitment to fight back against reckless government decisions and restore the principles that make Australia strong.

“This is about taking back control from the career politicians who have abandoned everyday Australians. It’s time for common-sense policies and leaders who will stand up for the people of Goldstein and Australia,” Leon says.
