Mr Bonnefin, a father of two and business owner, says his decision to enter public life has been shaped by a long‑standing connection to regional Australia and a desire to contribute to the country his children will grow up in.
While he lives on the Central Coast now, Mr Bonnefin spent his early childhood years in Wilcannia, where his father worked.
He says those formative years gave him an enduring understanding of the challenges faced by country communities and the importance of ensuring their concerns are heard at a national level.
Outlining his motivation for contesting the seat, Mr Bonnefin said he wants to apply both creativity and leadership to deliver tangible outcomes for people and places, not just physical infrastructure.
“My roots are in the country and as a proud New South Welshman who has travelled extensively across our nation, I feel a deep connection to our land and its people,” he said.
“People First Party is about practical actions and outcomes that will deliver direct benefits and improve our quality of life on a daily basis.
“We are committed to putting the Australian people back at the centre of decision-making. Where you belong.”
