Community Alliance Party

Belconnen resident and prominent community advocate Roger Nicoll is standing as a Candidate for Ginninderra with the Community Alliance Party, following a launch at the ACT Assembly today.

Roger is best known for his community health development work in West Belconnen, the Flynn school campaign, and youth, sports and crime prevention activities. He has been actively involved in the Belconnen community for the past 40 years.

"As a father of two and someone who is closely involved with families, I know how hard it is for families at the moment," Roger said. "I'm standing for families and the community because I have seen how people have been impacted in recent years and understand that our governments need to do better."

"I’m standing for the Community Alliance because it offers a new and better alternative to the party politics that has plagued the Assembly in recent times. We've seen what the others have done, now it is time to bring reliable community people into the Assembly."

Roger is the founder of the Legends – Men 'N' Kids program and the Men 'N' Kids breakfast and has been involved with local families through West Belconnen Good Beginnings parenting, and school, and community youth programs. Roger also promotes a strong and safe community through the local Neighbourhood Watch.

As Chair of the West Belconnen Health Co-operative, Roger has been heading up the community's effort to attract bulk-billing doctors and allied health, and wellbeing services to West Belconnen.

"This ACT election is all about how we can restore good governance, trust and accountability to Canberra after the disastrous experience of majority government," Roger said. "We have to do a whole lot better if we want Canberra to be the sort of place where people will still want to live in 5, 10, or 20 years time."
