Sharon Cousins is a dedicated community advocate, researcher and small business owner who has spent decades fighting for everyday Australians. Raised in Wollongong, she worked in the UK as a qualified insurance broker before returning to Australia to build a successful resume-writing business, helping job seekers from all industries secure employment.

Since 2003, Sharon has volunteered in elections, assisting candidates and ensuring voter integrity. In 2011, she ran as an independent in the local council elections, gaining firsthand experience in the power plays and tactics used by major parties. Now, she is stepping up to represent Whitlam with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, a party she believes truly puts Australians first.

Sharon is a strong opponent of the proposed offshore wind farms, citing concerns over their cost, maintenance and negative impact on fishing, tourism and whale migration. She supports keeping Australia’s mining industry strong while investing in practical, cost-effective renewable energy solutions.

She stands firmly behind One Nation’s policies to relieve cost-of-living pressures, including reducing fuel taxes by 26c per litre, cutting electricity bills by 20% and placing a moratorium on GST for building materials to lower home construction costs. She is also a strong advocate for family tax splitting, pensioner benefits and exiting globalist organisations like the WHO, WEF and UN—saving taxpayers over $1 billion.

“Australians are being squeezed by bad policies and out-of-touch politicians. We need leadership that puts families, jobs and affordability first,” Sharon says. “One Nation is the only party standing up against government overreach and fighting for everyday Australians.”

Sharon’s deep commitment to her community and her passion for real solutions make her a strong candidate to represent Whitlam in the upcoming federal election.
