00:01People are not one issue, they are not one story and the same is true for me.
00:07I'm not just a doctor and a hospital advocate, I'm a father to three incredible children,
00:12I'm a husband, I'm a small business owner, I was an umpire once upon a time,
00:18I'm a hobby farmer, I'm a CFA volunteer learning from people that have been protecting our communities for decades.
00:26Benambra proves what community looks like.
00:29No, no I'll be honest, it's not something I really, it was not on my bucket list, you know, five
00:36years ago.
00:37The moment that I determined that I thought I would put my hand up was the Saturday in January when
00:44I woke up
00:45after being on a strike team for the week in Corriong as a CFA volunteer.
00:50In the room, there was no politics, there was no political points going,
00:55there was no one was talking about the underfunding of the CFA or the levies or other issues.
01:00It was just community members there looking after each other, getting it done.
01:04And that's when I really thought, no I think I might put my hand up for this.
01:11You
