Rob Powell

Rob Powell is a retired mature-aged student currently studying politics and philosophy, focusing on how ethical frameworks shape public policy and political behaviour. With a long-standing commitment to social welfare and disability advocacy, he brings a grounded, lived perspective to debates about fairness, equity and the responsibilities of government.
