My name is Htun. I am 53 years old, a husband and a father of four, two of them born in Coffs. I was born in Myanmar and left that country to escape political violence. Through family connections, I came to Australia in 2003, becoming an Australian citizen in 2007.
 

My family has a small business on Harbour Drive of Coffs Harbour. I also work in the Intensive Care Unit of Coffs Harbour Hospital as a nurse and have done so for the last 15 years. I am also actively involved in the local multicultural community. I want to see our area prosper, but in a way so that our relaxed lifestyle can be maintained.
 

I am a candidate at the council election and am standing as part of the ‘Your Community Voice’ team. Although I am a member of the Labor Party, embracing their values of equality, democracy, liberty and social cooperation. I wish to be completely transparent and honest and abide by the Australian electoral commission.

​

I owe so much to Australia. You have given me everything I now treasure. I want to
contribute to my community and I ask you to give me your vote at this important election.
