Despite my late start in mid-2024, I have become the leading opposition voice across my key portfolios through a comprehensive research programme, which has seen me file the most questions in Parliament. I have also organized the party flaxroots, helping to rebuild 3 Campus Green Groups and making inroads with the Filipino community, being visible and active at major events and advocating alongside progressive community groups.
