Tyler Carman is a proud Bundaberg local, small business owner, and devoted family man. Living in Bundaberg with his wife and young daughter, and expecting their second child in April, Tyler understands the struggles of everyday Australians, particularly when it comes to the rising cost of living and housing affordability.

“As a mortgage broker, I see firsthand the dream of homeownership slipping further out of reach for many Australians. Our broken immigration policies have driven up housing prices while failing to provide the necessary infrastructure to support rapid population growth. We need to pause mass immigration and focus on getting our housing market back on track,” Tyler says.

Tyler is a strong advocate for housing affordability and availability. With a critical shortage of new homes being built, he believes the federal government must take responsibility for ensuring housing supply meets demand before increasing migration numbers. He will fight for policies that make homeownership more accessible and reduce the financial strain on Australian families.

Beyond housing and immigration, Tyler is passionate about strengthening Australia’s economy, improving health care, and reforming education. He supports free university degrees and grants for essential professions such as nurses, doctors, paramedics, and teachers. “We should be encouraging young Australians into these critical fields rather than relying on foreign workers to fill the gaps,” he says.

Tyler is determined to stand up for the people of Hinkler, ensuring their voices are heard and fighting for policies that will provide a secure future for Australian families. He believes in putting Australians first and ensuring that essential services, infrastructure, and economic opportunities are prioritised over reckless government spending and mismanagement.

“As your representative, I will fight for better housing, better health care, and better education for all Australians. Our future depends on strong, common-sense policies that support working families and ensure Australia remains a country where everyone has the opportunity to succeed,” Tyler says.
