Dr Barry Reed is proud to stand as One Nation’s candidate for Shortland, bringing a wealth of experience, education, and a passion for creating meaningful change. A committed advocate for everyday Australians, Barry is determined to deliver policies that put people first and restore faith in government.

“Labor and Liberal governments have failed to meet the essential needs of ordinary Australians,” Dr Barry says. “Their failure to protect families, support communities, and safeguard our country’s future demands a strong alternative. That’s why I’m standing with One Nation.”

With a qualification in economics and politics from Oxford University, Barry combines academic expertise with real-world insights to offer innovative solutions to the challenges facing Australians. His ideas, such as a policy on home ownership now featured on One Nation’s platform, demonstrate his ability to bring fresh thinking to issues like housing affordability and financial stability.

Barry’s priorities for Shortland include addressing the housing crisis, supporting local businesses, and ensuring cost-of-living relief for families. As a former Senate candidate for One Nation in 2019, Barry has consistently advocated for a government that values accountability, transparency, and practical policies to improve the lives of Australians.

“I want to help One Nation make Australia better—for our people, our communities, and our future. Together, we can rebuild trust in government and create a nation that works for everyone.”
