Henry Davis, a City of Adelaide councillor and Fair Go Upper House candidate, brings a wealth of experience from law, business, and community service. A former RAAF member and CFS volunteer, he champions transparency, fairness, and family values, fighting wasteful spending and elitism in politics.

A Proven Leader in Service and Reform

Henry Davis is not your typical politician. A lawyer, councillor, and community advocate, he’s built a career on service, accountability, and delivering results. With a background spanning taxation law, military service in the Royal Australian Air Force, frontline emergency response with the Country Fire Service (CFS), and governance in local councils and corporate boards, Henry brings real-world experience to Fair Go For Australians. As a director of Clime, an ASX-listed firm managing $1.6 billion in assets, and principal lawyer at HLD Law, he understands how government decisions impact everyday Australians—particularly in tax, property, and investment.

"Australia’s future depends on strong, transparent governance that encourages investment, innovation, and long-term growth." — Henry Davis

Community at Heart

Henry’s commitment to service runs deep. He’s fought bushfires with the CFS, served in the RAAF, and sat on boards managing over $70 million in assets, including Burnside Hospital and charities distributing $3 million annually to South Australians. As founder of the Keystone Project—Adelaide’s first true skyscraper—he’s driven economic growth while staying grounded in community needs. Elected to both City of Adelaide and Burnside Councils without party backing, Henry has won three elections through hard work and a focus on ratepayers.

"I’ve consistently spoken out against waste, hidden debts, and poor governance practices that burden ratepayers." — Henry Davis

Why I’m Running with Fair Go

Henry is running as a Fair Go Upper House candidate because he’s fed up with politics serving insiders, lobbyists, and donors instead of ordinary Australians. His diverse experience has shown him the system’s flaws: bureaucracy stifling innovation, hidden debts crippling communities, and good people sidelined for not fitting the political mould. Fair Go offers a platform to restore fairness, transparency, and integrity, prioritizing communities over backroom deals.

"Australians deserve better: a government that listens and delivers for the people, not the political class." — Henry Davis

What I Stand For

Henry’s principles are clear: government must work for the people, not the other way around. His core values include:

• Integrity in Politics: Decisions must be open, free from corruption or hidden deals, with leaders held to the same standards as the public.
• Accountability in Spending: Taxpayers’ money must be spent wisely, avoiding reckless debt and prioritizing value for money.
• Fairness in Opportunity: No Australian should be locked out of opportunity due to background, location, or lack of connections.
• Community over Politics: Local voices, not party headquarters, should shape decisions, fostering grassroots democracy.

"Government should work for the people, not the other way around." — Henry Davis

Key Policy Priorities

Henry’s campaign focuses on practical, community-driven reforms:

• Financial Responsibility: Advocate for balanced budgets and transparent reporting to end wasteful spending that benefits politicians over the public.
• Tax Reform: Simplify taxes, reduce duplication, and incentivize work and innovation for fairer economic growth.
• Stronger Families: Support families with affordable childcare, accessible education, and policies that respect parental rights.
• Local Empowerment: Return decision-making power to communities, cutting red tape for councils and grassroots organisations.
• Infrastructure and Services: Plan long-term investments in roads, hospitals, and schools, avoiding short-term vote-grabbing projects.
• Energy and Sustainability: Promote reliable, affordable power through innovative, cost-effective solutions for households and businesses.
• Respect for Volunteers: Strengthen support for volunteers and service personnel, like those in the CFS and RAAF, who keep communities safe.

"Families are the foundation of a healthy society. Government policy should strengthen, not weaken, them." — Henry Davis

A Vision for a Fairer South Australia

Living in the Adelaide Hills with his partner Kasia, Henry is deeply engaged in community life, supporting grassroots organisations and small businesses. His decade-plus in local government, combined with his legal and financial expertise, makes him a powerful voice for Fair Go’s mission. He’s committed to a South Australia where transparency, fairness, and community strength replace political elitism, ensuring every Australian gets a fair go.

"My vision is a fairer, more accountable South Australia—one where government delivers real outcomes for ordinary Australians, not insiders." — Henry Davis
