A chartered accountant based in Hornsby, Sydney, Mr Woodward is also a former volunteer firefighter, earning the National Emergency Medal, the NSW Premier’s Citation for the 2019-20 bushfires and the NSW RFS Long Service Medal.
He is campaigning for greater investment in regional services, including healthcare, schools and First Nations housing, alongside fuel subsidies, support for small business and tax incentives for primary producers.
Mr Woodward has also proposed wiping student debt, holding interest rates steady during the cost-of-living crisis, building a dam in Queensland to support regional NSW, and relocating to Albury if elected.
He said he would “like to continue to serve the community, but in a different capacity as your representative in the Federal Parliament”.
