Notice that they are critical to the web of life, the biosphere and our common future. If given these crucial portfolios in a world that is plundering and corrupting the natural environment - what would you do?

If you were elected to Parliament how would you handle these portfolios that Steffan has?

Spare a thought for this man, who is doing his best with portfolios that are all under intense pressure!

Current parliamentary roles:

  • Member, Primary Production Committee
  • Spokesperson, Agriculture
  • Spokesperson, Biosecurity and Customs
  • Spokesperson, Fisheries
  • Spokesperson, Forestry
  • Spokesperson, Genetic Engineering and stopping it at our borders.
  • Spokesperson, Organics
  • Spokesperson, Security and Intelligence

May The Force Be With Him!

1st June 2016, I have just received a phone call from Steffan as he was driving back to Parliament. He said that he no longer has all of these portfolios,
having to give away in particular Security & Intelligence. This was one where he was really focused and effective.
