Matthew Jacobson is a dedicated father, Army Reserve officer, school principal and leadership consultant with a strong passion for advocating for regional and rural Australians. With a lifetime of leadership experience and an unwavering commitment to strengthening communities, Matthew is standing as a One Nation candidate to bring practical solutions and common-sense policies to the people of Macquarie.

“As a leader in education and the military, I have spent my life serving Australians. I want to see real change; stronger border security, economic stability and a government that prioritises its people over political games. Australia needs leadership that listens.”

Having lived and worked in rural and regional communities across Australia, Matthew understands the unique challenges faced by those outside metropolitan areas. His work as a principal in rural schools has given him firsthand experience of the struggles families face, from inadequate healthcare to declining local job opportunities. He is committed to advocating for policies that invest in regional infrastructure, strengthen Australian industry and reduce the cost of living for everyday families.

With Australia burdened by skyrocketing debt, Matthew is determined to push for fiscal responsibility by cutting unnecessary government spending, reducing bureaucratic waste and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used effectively. He believes in stronger immigration policies to ease pressure on housing, healthcare and infrastructure, ensuring Australians are put first.

Matthew is also a firm advocate for Australian jobs, particularly in regional areas where industries like agriculture and manufacturing have been neglected by successive governments. He supports major infrastructure investments to boost employment, stimulate the economy and provide a sustainable future for the next generation.

As a former soldier and current Army Reserve officer, Matthew understands the importance of national security and the need to protect Australian sovereignty. He believes in strong defence policies, border protection and ensuring veterans receive the support they deserve.

Matthew is standing with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation because he believes in real representation, not empty promises. He will fight for Macquarie, ensuring the voices of hardworking Australians are heard loud and clear in Canberra.
