Former serviceman Dan Nebauer declared candidacy for the electorate of Casey as a member of the Family First Party.
Mr Nebauer has developed strong leadership and management skills through his experience in the Royal Australian Air Force, a major multinational company and his own travel company.
He served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for 25 years, including Vietnam War experience, and worked in senior management of a major multinational company for nine years.
Mr Nebauer has owned and managed his own travel company for 11 years.
“Having lived in this region since my retirement from the RAAF in 1988, I share the same pressures of high living costs including power and gas prices, the cost of putting meals on the table, paying council rates, meeting high insurance costs or filling up the family car,” the Family First Party candidate said.
“The list goes on and on.
“Watching my adult children struggle to buy a home has made me so aware of the pressure on people seeking to get into the housing market today.”
Mr Nebauer is a man of Christian faith and has been married to his wife Anne for more than 58 years.
He has been a member of Family First Party since 2020 because he has a strong affinity with the aims and convictions of the party.
“Family First has a wide range of policies from a faith-based family perspective that are aimed at addressing the issues that are impacting families today from cost of living pressures through to tackling deliberate programs and policies that create gender confusion in our children,” he said.
“I don’t think there would be a single person or family in the wide Casey electorate that would not benefit from these policies.”
Mr Nebauer contested the state seat of Croydon in 2022.
“Although unsuccessful, we did achieve the highest per cent gain in the seat,” he said.
