HINKLER'S BIGGEST SURVEY

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

It’s a privilege to serve as your Federal Member.

After my first year in the role, I’m keen to hear directly from as many locals as possible. People in our community are facing real pressures and rising costs, and I need your help to make sure we get the priorities right.

Please take my Biggest Survey so I can stand up for what matters to you, better understand your priorities, and ensure our community gets a fair go.

Constituents in the Hinkler electorate who complete the survey before 31 July 2026 will go into the draw to receive one of three $100 gift vouchers.
