Delivering for Toohey
Working for our Future
A Better Future for
Our Community
I love our community and I’m passionate about serving it. My job is not just to represent the Toohey Electorate in parliament – it’s to work with our community to get the best outcomes for our schools, our small businesses, local groups and families. Everyday, my focus is on working towards a better future for everyone in our community.
Meet Peter
Hi, I’m Peter Russo
As many of you know, I’m passionate about our local community and am focused on delivering for our area.
We are fortunate to live in a great area with a thriving multicultural community, excellent local schools and access to quality healthcare – especially with the new satellite hospital at Eight Mile Plains currently under construction.
More About Peter
I’m focused on making sure we’re delivering the infrastructure and investment we need to reach our future potential, along with the services and support our community needs to continue to thrive.
As a former defence lawyer who has been heavily involved in human rights movements for decades, I’m also passionate about justice and working towards making our society fairer for all.
I’ve proudly represented our local area since 2015 and I’m focused on delivering a better future for our community.
