I really had to brush up on my Ruski in preparation 😅 for this – check out my interview with SBS Russian, we have discussed:

🦾 how I went from steel manufacturing plant worker in Russia to a local government election candidate here in Melbourne

❓what qualities are important for a Councillor ( listening 👂 and being passionate about your community)

🙋‍♀️ where I can add value in managing 250m budget using my background in compliance, business advisory & accounting

✅ how local governments can improve a range of services they provide

👊 need to focus on essential expenditure to assist residents with post-covid recovery
