Hon. Colin Brooks

Before entering Parliament, Colin worked as an electrician on railways and building sites, and as a service technician. His interest in community issues then led Colin to roles as an electorate officer and adviser, as well as serving on his local council.

Colin believes that Parliament provides an opportunity to change society for the better, making his community stronger and fairer. This is what prompted him to run for Parliament.

The priorities Colin has for his community are to keep people healthy and safe through the pandemic and beyond. He wants to ensure that people can access good jobs and a great education. Colin also wants to see further improvements and upgrades to public transport and roads.

Colin’s vision for Victoria’s future is that it is even more prosperous and every citizen shares in that prosperity. He especially wants to see growing jobs in the renewable energy sector as we tackle climate change.

The area of public policy that he is most passionate about is education. Colin believes that education is the key to our future, providing opportunity for every single Victorian from their first day at preschool, through our schools to an apprenticeship at TAFE or degree at university.
