Hi, I'm Dr Sophie

I am your federal MP for Mackellar. I have lived and worked here on the Northern Beaches for 25 years and before becoming your Independent MP, I served the community as a doctor in the Emergency Department of Mona Vale Hospital and practiced as a GP in Narrabeen. As an Independent MP for Mackellar I am standing up for our community in Parliament and pushing for action on the issues that you care about with honesty and integrity.

Keep up to date with how I’m representing our community.

We Need A National Plan To Reduce Plastic and make BIG polluters pay.

We Need A National Plan To Reduce Plastic and make BIG polluters pay.

Australia's packaging system is broken. Nearly four years after governments promised stronger national packaging laws, they have failed to deliver - and Australia has missed every national packaging target set in 2018.

The cost of this inaction is growing. Plastic continues to pollute our oceans, generate greenhouse gas emissions, and break down into microplastics that are now found in our food, water and bodies.

The solution already exists. The Federal Government can use existing laws to introduce a mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility Scheme, ensuring the companies that produce packaging take on the responsibility and cost for its full lifecycle - not Australian households.
