  • We need to bring back Australian manufacturing, lower energy costs, and invest in real infrastructure for our communities. I will fight to make sure the people of Dickson have a voice in Canberra.

    Joel Stevenson is proud to stand as the One Nation candidate for Dickson, bringing a wealth of real-world experience and a deep commitment to the local community. A longtime resident of Kallangur for 14 years, Joel understands the challenges faced by families, workers and small businesses in the area. With a background as a maintenance industrial electrician, he has witnessed firsthand the decline of Australian manufacturing and is determined to fight for policies that rebuild industry, secure jobs and lower the cost of living.

    For too long, we’ve watched our manufacturing sector shrink while energy prices continue to rise. It’s time to take back control of our industries, invest in affordable and reliable energy and bring back jobs that support Australian families,” Joel says.

    Over the past 25 years, Joel has seen the erosion of local industries due to bad government policy, overregulation and an obsession with net-zero goals that have driven energy prices sky-high. He believes that Australia must restore its competitive edge by prioritising investment in low-cost, reliable energy solutions such as coal and nuclear power.

    Without affordable power, we can’t rebuild our industries, we can’t create secure, well-paying jobs and we certainly can’t compete with nations that are using their natural resources wisely,” he says.

    Joel is also passionate about infrastructure and ensuring that local projects deliver real benefits for the people of Dickson. He advocates for better roads, transport links and community facilities to support the region’s growing population.

    Beyond politics and work, Joel enjoys fishing and water sports, activities that keep him connected to the outdoors and reinforce his belief in balancing economic progress with environmental preservation. He supports common-sense environmental policies that protect Australia’s natural resources while allowing industries and communities to thrive.

    Joel is committed to being a strong voice in federal parliament for the people of Dickson, ensuring that their needs and aspirations are represented at the national level. He is standing with One Nation to fight for policies that lower the cost of living, put Australian workers first and restore the nation’s economic independence.

    This election is about taking back control from out-of-touch career politicians and ensuring the future of our communities. I’m standing with One Nation to put Australians first and get Dickson the representation it deserves,” he says.

  • I refuse to sit back and watch our country decline. We must fight for our future, secure Australian jobs and restore our national values before it's too late.

    Nathan Skrlj is a proud Australian with a deep appreciation for the values of hard work, resilience and community; principles instilled in him by his family’s journey to this country. With a strong background in disability support and soon-to-be a registered nurse, Nathan has dedicated himself to helping those in need, seeing firsthand the struggles Australians face in the current economic and social climate.

    I love this country deeply, but I see the Australia my Nonno worked so hard to embrace slipping away. The cost of living is skyrocketing, housing is becoming unattainable and our national values are being eroded. It’s time to stand up and fight for the future of our country.

    Nathan’s passion for change stems from his experiences working within the NDIS system, where he has seen mismanagement and inefficiencies that fail both taxpayers and those truly in need. He is determined to push for major reforms that ensure funding goes where it is most effective, cutting waste while improving outcomes for vulnerable Australians.

    He is also a strong advocate for affordable housing, pushing for policies that pause mass immigration until infrastructure catches up, ensuring Australians can access homes and essential services. He believes in restoring Australian values in education by emphasising the nation's achievements in medical, sporting and industrial fields rather than rewriting history with ideological bias.

    Nathan sees the major parties as two sides of the same coin, failing to act in the best interests of everyday Australians. By standing with One Nation, he hopes to be a voice for hardworking families, ensuring policies that put Australians first; whether in job creation, affordable energy or securing Australia's national sovereignty.

    I want my children to grow up in the Australia my Nonno believed in; a country of opportunity, fairness and strong values. If we don’t fight for it now, what will we tell future generations? That we stood by and let it slip away? I refuse to do that.

    Nathan is calling on the people of Kingston to support a bold, practical vision for a stronger Australia—one that prioritises Australian jobs, infrastructure and a future where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive.

  • The two-party system is broken. It’s time for strong leadership that fights for families, Australian jobs, and real economic security. Let’s make Australia strong again.

    Mike Brown is a devoted family man, small business owner and community volunteer who has called the Mornington Peninsula home for decades. A father of seven and grandfather to nine, he is deeply concerned about the future his children and grandchildren will inherit under the reckless policies of the major parties.

    I’m tired of the two-party system treating Australian taxpayers like a never-ending cash cow. Our families deserve better, our economy deserves better and Australia deserves better.

    Mike has spent his career working across industries as a project manager and consultant, gaining real-world experience in economic development, small business and community engagement. His background in real estate and business coaching has given him insight into the increasing struggles Australians face; whether it’s skyrocketing housing costs, out-of-control energy prices or small businesses suffocating under red tape.

    As a proud Christian and active member of St Mark’s Anglican Church in Dromana, Mike is passionate about restoring traditional Australian values and pushing back against the radical social engineering being forced on society. He believes in protecting family structures, ensuring fair and transparent elections and preventing ideological manipulation in politics and media.

    Mike is particularly concerned about the skyrocketing cost of living, believing that energy affordability and infrastructure investment are key to securing Australia’s economic future. He supports One Nation’s commitment to restoring reliable, low-cost energy by reinvesting in coal and gas while cutting the bureaucratic waste that drives up household bills.

    His priorities include stronger border protection, a moratorium on immigration until infrastructure catches up and an independent audit of government spending. Mike is also a vocal supporter of investigating the impacts of pandemic lockdowns and mandates, ensuring accountability for government overreach.

    Australians were forced into lockdowns, lost their jobs and had their freedoms stripped away; all while big corporations and government elites got richer. Where is the accountability? The major parties won’t fight for everyday Australians, but I will.

    Mike is calling on the people of Flinders to reject the career politicians who have failed them and back a candidate who understands real life, real struggles and real solutions.

  • I will fight to restore Australian values, protect Australian jobs, and ensure future generations can afford to live in their own country.

    Arthur Tsoutsoulis is a proud Australian who is determined to restore the nation’s values, protect its identity and fight for the rights of hardworking Australians. With a strong background in engineering, project management and local government, he understands how poor government policies have driven up the cost of living, undermined national security and eroded Australian culture.

    I have seen firsthand how this country has changed and not for the better. The major parties have abandoned everyday Australians, prioritising globalist agendas, uncontrolled migration and woke ideologies over the interests of our people. One Nation is the only party willing to stand up and put Australia first.

    Arthur has worked in local government for over 25 years, managing infrastructure projects and transportation planning. He knows how excessive red tape and reckless spending have burdened Australian businesses and families. He is committed to revitalising manufacturing, securing energy independence and ensuring home ownership remains within reach for young Australians.

    Mass migration must be paused to relieve pressure on housing, infrastructure and essential services. Australians should be prioritised for jobs over foreign workers and foreign ownership of Australian land and real estate should be banned. Arthur supports nuclear energy as a cost-effective solution to the energy crisis and is determined to restore common sense in workplaces by ending forced gender ideology and ensuring people are hired based on merit, not politics.

    Our government has abandoned Australians. We need leadership that prioritises our people, our economy and our national security. We must take back our country and make Australia strong again.

  • We live in a resource-rich nation, yet Australians are struggling to afford the basics. It’s time for strong leadership that prioritises affordable energy, secure jobs, and a safer community.

    Ben is deeply concerned about the skyrocketing cost of living and is committed to fighting for real relief. He strongly advocates for reducing fuel prices, making electricity affordable and implementing policies that ease financial burdens on families and businesses. “Australians should not be struggling to afford the basics when we are one of the most resource-rich nations in the world,” he says. “We have the coal, gas and minerals to power our own nation affordably, yet we’re paying the price for short-sighted policies.

    Crime remains one of the most pressing issues in the Northern Territory and Ben believes in strong measures to restore safety to the streets. He supports crime prevention programs such as boot camps, tougher sentencing and stricter bail laws. He is determined to tackle the root causes of crime by creating better opportunities for those facing disadvantage, ensuring that hard work is rewarded and law-abiding citizens feel safe in their own communities.

    Ben also recognises the the federal government’s staggering trillion-dollar debt and is committed to responsible fiscal management. Debt repayments at $50billion a year will soon outstrip what we spend on health and education. He is pushing for a fairer taxation system that ensures multinational corporations pay their fair share, while advocating for better use of the Territory’s abundant natural resources to generate real economic benefits for the people who live and work there.

    He is also a strong advocate for immigration reform, arguing that reducing immigration is necessary to ease the pressure on critical infrastructure, housing affordability and the environment. “We need policies that put Australians first, ensuring that homeownership is within reach for everyday people and that our communities have the infrastructure and services they need to thrive.

    In his free time, Ben enjoys motorcycling, bushcraft, scuba diving and backpacking. He is deeply frustrated by the mismanagement of Australia’s vast resources, which has left Australians facing rising costs and economic uncertainty. “We live in a country rich with coal, LNG, uranium, lithium and other minerals, yet we’re in massive debt and struggling. It doesn’t add up and I’m determined to change that,” he says.

    Benjamin Craker is ready to stand up for the people of Solomon and fight for real change in the Northern Territory. With a focus on affordability, infrastructure and safety, he is committed to ensuring the Territory and Australia as a whole are set on the right path for future generations.
