(Limit 100 words)

Mark Starkey

I seek an accountable, in-touch Senate that is a genuine forum for debate and governs for all its constituents. My 28 year UQ association started as a student and has seen me rise through the administrative ranks to School Manager. With feet firmly on the ground, I understand the issues general staff face, but also know how the higher education sector works. I hold senior honorary positions with the progressive Australian Services Union and have served on several UQ committees, including Standing Committee of Convocation and the OH&S Council. Let's get a voice for general staff where it counts.
