Hi Senator Ludlum, I have only one question - Where to from here?

To clarify, our government is a bit of a joke, the rest of the world hates us, cost of living is too high, the climate (in the most delicate of countries) is being ignored and people are unhappy. How do we fix this, what is your plan?

Congrats mate. We also saw Raj Rai after 3 miscarriages and had some scarring removed from the uterus and some scaffolding put in (lol).

My wife also has a thyroid issue with Graves’ disease.

I’m typing this next to my about-to-be one year old son.

Best of luck. I’m so happy we persevered.

I love this - I won a few GovHack awards recently for something similar (www.bradandglen.com/govhack), would love to get involved if possible?

Dear Senator, You are literally a shining beacon of light in a bleak, bleak ocean of dodgy, underhanded, misogynist, dinosaur politicians in this great country of ours. I am proud that you represent my state of WA and that you're fighting so hard and so vocally. I'm not sure if it's just my friendship circle, but I am seeing a lot of noise in my social channels of people singing your praises. You're like the Anti-Abbott to a lot of us. I would like to offer my services as an advertising consultant and a digital designer and start-up owner, based in Perth (rare breed) to help in any way that I can in getting your message out there. For once I would feel as though I'm using my powers for good instead of helping another mining company dig another hole. I'm very serious about the above and will be voting for you and encouraging everyone I know to do the same, in every election I can. All the best.

I'd love to hear more about what the Greens plan to do to encourage technology start ups in the form of innovation grants. At the moment there is nothing for us at all if we're self-funded.

Low/0 interest loans would also be a huge help for qualifying new businesses.
