Mar2012_LOCAL RESIDENT FOR STATE ELECTIONS
Local resident John Alexander has been endorsed as the Katter’s Australia candidate for Pine Rivers in the upcoming state election.
Originally from South Africa, John has been living in the Pine Rivers Shire for nearly 10 years.
After completing high school John served in the military in a specialist unit and did active duty as a Platoon Sergeant.
He is a qualified accountant and holds degrees in both finance and marketing and has worked in the corporate environment as well as doing the hard yards when starting and running his own businesses.
John has worked for large companies in the field of business improvement, profitability and strategic planning, so he has an acute understanding of what is needed to return Queensland to prosperity.
He recently started a business within the Pine Rivers Shire that is already growing into a sought after tourist destination.
John is married with three children and two grandchildren, so is familiar with the day to day pressures all families face. His two younger children are still studying at schools within the Pine Rivers Shire.
John is an active member of the community and is involved with various organisations including the rural fire brigade. He is a member of the Dayboro and Districts Soccer club where he has also held the position of Club President and is an active member of his church.
“I feel very strongly about what the Australian party stands for and would like to be part of the change that gives Australians what they deserve.”
“It’s time there was some action and someone needs to have the Pine Rivers area at heart, I am that someone.”

Represent the interests of Pine Rivers residents

Increase small business development and growth in the area
