Nationals Leader Danny O'Brien

2025 DIY Big Freeze

I’m fundraising for FightMND

I became the Leader of The Nationals in November last year having been the Member for Gippsland South since 2015.
In my time in politics I’ve met a number of people with MND, including the great Neale Daniher and have been inspired by the energy and spirit behind the FightMND campaign.


Dozens of our communities across regional Victoria have done an amazing job embracing FightMND, raising significant funds and the profile of this awful disease.
Having been dunked for the cause before at the Middle Pub in Korumburra, I’ve got a taste for it!


More recently we’ve all been touched, across party lines, by Emma’s diagnosis and her determination to go on in her role and in her community, despite the increasing challenges she’s facing.


I hope we can all play a small part in tackling this terrible Beast.
