David Southwick represents the Caulfield electorate in Victoria's Parliament while serving as Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. He holds the Shadow Minister portfolios for Economic Development and the Arts in the Victorian opposition. His parliamentary work centers on state fiscal policy, housing access, and regulatory reform. The Unlock Home Ownership Plan forms the cornerstone of Southwick's current legislative agenda, proposing stamp duty elimination for first-time buyers purchasing properties up to $1 million. His housing policy framework includes a First Home Buyer Guarantee Scheme and measures to accelerate planning approvals and land availability. The economic platform also outlines specific interventions in transport pricing, utility costs, and state revenue policy. Southwick's parliamentary duties involve developing opposition responses to Victoria's debt management and public spending priorities. His office maintains regular constituent communications through traditional and digital channels in the Caulfield district. The role combines oversight of both broad economic strategy and specific arts sector initiatives within the shadow cabinet structure.
