Hi, my name is Jonathan Parkin. I’m 49 years old and live with my wife and two children in Marino.
I have been residing in the electorate of Black for most of my life.
For approx. 20 years, I worked in the aviation sector as a pilot servicing regional routes. However, in 2022 I took the opportunity to change career and I now run a small business.
I see great value in sporting and community clubs and the interactions they foster. I participate in Masters soccer for the Cove FC and am involved in the Nipper program at Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club.
I believe local families are the building blocks of society, and would like to see governments focus more on policies that give families the room to make the decisions which best suit them and not on pie-in-the-sky vanity projects and the latest woke agendas!
