Mark McGrath, Candidate for Ripon

Mark McGrath is proud to stand as the Family First candidate for the electorate of Ripon, bringing a wealth of life experience, courage, honesty and a strong commitment to traditional Christian and conservative values.

A devoted family man, Mark is the father of two adult children and a proud grandfather of four grandchildren. He believes strong families, respect for human life, and the preservation of Australia's Christian heritage are essential foundations for a healthy and prosperous society.

Mark is actively involved in his local community through his membership of the St Arnaud Golf Club, Kara Kara Veterans Golf Club, Maryborough Golf Club and Wimmera Veterans Golf Club. He is also a member of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in the East Wimmera Parish.

Mark's decision to stand for Family First reflects his belief in the importance of strong conservative representation in Parliament. He is firmly pro-life and believes every human life is sacred from conception to natural death and deserves protection.

With extensive real-life experience and having navigated many challenging circumstances, Mark brings resilience, determination and a willingness to stand firmly for his convictions.

He is deeply concerned about the influence of socialism, communism and globalist agendas on Australian society. He believes that governments must be held accountable and that policies undermining traditional values, individual freedoms and the protection of life must be challenged.

Mark is committed to giving the people of Ripon a strong, principled voice and standing for faith, family, freedom and the protection of every human life.
