Trevor has previously stood as a candidate for the 2010 Senate election, and whilst failing to win a seat he was still in the running when the last senate seat was allocated. For the 2013 and 2017 State elections Trevor stood as the upper house candidate for Australian Christians in the Agricultural region and while failing to win a seat he was able to have a significant impact on the outcome. Within Australian Christians, Trevor has been a member of the state council since it’s formation, and he was elected to the role as WA President in June 2014.

Maryka was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. She immigrated to Perth, with her family when she was 13 years old. For the past 15 years, she has worked with a range of communities across Australia.

Maryka started as an advocacy worker for children in care, lobbying the Government for better service provision and support for children leaving State care. This led Maryka to community development. She was the National Project Manager for a program she helped to develop, called the School Passport Program. The program was a huge success, and an effective engagement tool that increased volunteerism, attendance, and social cohesion in schools. Maryka worked with over 3000 families across Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. She fostered invaluable networks with local businesses, organisations, and governments.

Maryka remarked “Those were the best times – travelling the Nation and effecting change – real tangible change. We helped thousands of families through this Program, and my eyes were opened to the gaps in policy at a political level and what happened at a community level. Bureaucracy was a real hindrance”.

Whilst many see their faith as a liability, Maryka has always viewed hers as an asset. “We all have a particular worldview, mine has always encouraged me to think about others first. My faith has played a huge role in shaping my commitment to serve others. I aspire to see our communities transformed through good policy that keeps families healthy, and businesses thriving”.

Maryka believes strong communities stem from healthy families and good employment opportunities. “Familial stresses have a large impact on a person’s mental health. I would like to see mental health services extended to support not only the individual – but couples and families. Most people cannot afford the counselling or psychology fees per session”. Australian Christians is the only party committed to putting your family’s interests first.

In addition, Maryka has also volunteered for various Youth Groups, The National Council of Women, Detention Centres, and various Prisons.

Maryka’s passion for Community Development and Politics has enabled her to appreciate both sides of the spectrum and she is now a committed voice for East Metro. Committed to serving its people, its interests and developing more opportunities for young people.

Madeleine has a passion for good education where parents, schools, and community work together for the benefit of all children. She feels her own firsthand experience with families and young people together with Christian wisdom learnt over the years, have prepared her well to be a sensible voice for the well-being of families at a time where other influences are undermining the Judeo-Christian foundations of our nation. She authored a first book in 2019- Christian Drums in the Public Square- as an encouragement for Christians to engage in the public discourse of our nation.

Madeleine has served in several church committees. She volunteers with her district Youth Care Association and serves as secretary for the WA Australian Christian Party.

Mrs Jacky Young holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Surveying).

Jacky and her husband Trevor, spent most of their married life owning and managing a sheep and cereal farm. Both are respected members of their community.

Jacky has become increasingly concerned about the erosion of ethical and moral values in our society, as well as the decline in Christian and family values which have been honoured since the foundation of this nation. She believes that these have been sound building blocks contributing to the strength of this Nation.

Married to Trevor with three adult children, Jacky is convinced that strong marriages make healthy families and she will work actively to ensure that no legislation introduced in Parliament disadvantages our West Australian families.
