The Loudest Megaphone in the Country

Independent, unbought, and tuned only to the people of Kiama.

On the ballot as Cyrille Jeufo Keuheu

Major parties whisper to donors. I’ll be the megaphone that carries your fights into Parliament — loud, relentless, and impossible to ignore.

See What I’ll Be Loud About My Acts of Courage

What I’ve Overcome — And What I’ll Fix

Portrait of Cyrille Jeufo Keuheu

I have lived through what most politicians only read about in reports. Homelessness. Exclusion. A system designed to break you down rather than lift you up. And yet, I’m still here, still writing, still standing — because I believe things can change. And because I believe people deserve leaders who know what struggle feels like.

The Average Voter

Where I Stand — 11 Acts of Courage

These aren’t safe promises. They’re the things the major parties can’t do without upsetting their donors. That’s the freedom of running independent: I don’t owe cheques — I owe courage.

Housing & Affordability
Put a fair cap on runaway rents and start building public homes again — the developer lobby won’t like it, but families will.
Details • End land-banking that keeps locals shut out
• Require affordable homes in big projects
• Emergency help so a bad month doesn’t become homelessness
Cost of Living
Use community buying power to cut bills and make transport fair — not what energy donors want, but it’s what households need.
Details • Community batteries and bulk energy buys
• School breakfast programs where kids go hungry
• Targeted rate and fuel relief during income shocks
Healthcare & Disability
Put patients before consultants. Fix NDIS delays and make it easier to see a GP.
Details • Monthly NDIS advocacy clinic in the electorate
• Back frontline mental-health and regional hospital capacity
• More at-home aged-care packages so people can stay where they live
Emergency Readiness
Fund the gear before the flames and floods — not after the photo op.
Details • Upgrade RFS facilities and equipment across the electorate
• Update evacuation routes and local disaster plans now
• Support community-led resilience and recovery hubs
Education
Stop punishing students for studying and fund public schools properly — not the private lobby’s agenda.
Details • Fair funding to fix public school backlogs
• Stronger TAFE and apprenticeship pathways
• Protect needs-based funding from political games
Small Business & Jobs
Back locals over corporates — fewer hoops, fairer taxes, real support to hire. So your kids can find a good job here without moving to Sydney.
Details • Payroll-tax relief focused on tiny and family businesses
• Grants that grow tourism and the trades here, not in head offices
• Cut red tape for home-grown startups
Transport & Connectivity
Better trains, safer roads, real internet — not donor-friendly contracts with no results.
Details • Fix known highway pinch points with safety first
• Push fibre to towns and black-spot fixes that actually work
• A bus loop that links Shellharbour–Kiama–Gerringong properly
Environment & Climate
No new coal or gas. Protect our coast where erosion bites. Donors won’t like it — our kids will.
Details • Get serious about coastal protection at vulnerable beaches
• Community solar gardens and shade/trees along cycleways
• Publish honest emissions progress, every year
Democracy & Transparency
Radical sunlight: real-time expenses, public diaries, and citizen juries. If donors hate it, it’s probably good for democracy.
Details • Publish MP diary and lobbyist meetings fortnightly
• Livestream council votes and record how everyone voted
• Use citizen juries on big local decisions
Tax & Economy
Close rorts and stop subsidising pollution. The majors won’t bite the hands that feed them — I will.
Details • Audit and end corporate tax avoidance and subsidies that rob the public purse
• End fossil-fuel freebies and obvious loopholes
• Direct savings to housing, health and local services
Indigenous Sovereignty
Treaty, truth-telling, and justice reinvestment — done with community, not at them.
Details • Support local cultural heritage and language projects
• Partner with local Traditional Owners on coastal erosion management, combining ancient knowledge with modern science
• Back community-led justice reinvestment that reduces harm
• Respect proper consultation on land and coastal care

The Loudest Megaphone in the Country

Parliament is full of quiet deals and donor-friendly whispers. I’ll be the megaphone that drowns them out — the one tuned to this community, not to corporate chequebooks. If something matters here, I’ll make sure it’s heard there.

Accountability They Don’t Want to Hear
This fight is about sunlight. The majors would rather bury it because it makes their friends uncomfortable. I’ll keep it on the record until the truth is undeniable.
Receipts & action • Put the questions on notice and refuse to let them fade
• Push for committee hearings and debates to force sunlight
• Publish every answer (or refusal) so the people judge

Infrastructure Without Excuses
From potholes to rail, locals pay while donors collect. I’ll be loud about basic infrastructure because it’s where trust is won or lost — and majors keep losing it.
Receipts & action • Call out wasteful projects built for ribbon-cuttings, not residents
• Demand proper funding for local roads, rail and maintenance
• Publish real costs so the public sees where every dollar goes

I’ll pick up the megaphone for every fight this community cares about. Tell me the next one.

Why Run Independent?

Every conscience vote is leverage—major parties need numbers to pass bills. An independent for Kiama can trade that vote for real local wins—without towing a party line or donor agenda.

Why the name “Lucifer”?

Lucifer literally means “light‑bearer.” After years of being mocked and erased, I reclaimed the name to signal one thing: I’m shining a light on the systems that tried to keep people like us in the dark. Read the full story.

Receipts. Not Promises.

These aren’t speeches. They’re facts. I wrote the truth long before I entered politics.
