After living in Caroline Springs “since it was nothing but paddocks”, Goran Kesic, the Liberal candidate for Kororoit in the November state election, believes he’s just the man for the job.
“I feel passionately about working with the local community … [it] needs certainty and a government with a real plan for the future,” the 46-year-old said.
The linguist and interpreter said that since arriving in 1998 after the Yugoslav wars, he’d come to believe Australia truly was the land of opportunity.
Mr Kesic has previously worked for the United Nations and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
He said a bridge over Westwood Drive to connect to Calder Park Drive in Taylors Lakes was a priority.
Kororoit has been held by Labor MP Marlene Kairouz since 2008. Mr Kesic will run against Ms Kairouz and Voice For The West candidate Shashi Turner.
