About Doug
Doug Rennie has been a proud resident of Avalon Beach, in the seat of Pittwater on Sydney’s Northern Beaches for 16 years. Raised in a blue-collar family in Western Sydney, he worked in government corporations in the utilities sector for 17 years before branching out as an entrepreneur in the water, electricity, gas and renewables industries. For 35 years he owned and operated companies locally and nationally, employing hundreds of tradespeople and providing technical services to utilities in all states and territories.
Doug is driven by a strong desire to advance a small-government approach to the most pressing social and economic priorities of our time: housing, infrastructure, energy, environment, water, food security and health. In particular, he advocates for a more sensible energy policy that prevents a focus on “Net Zero” from destroying nature and jobs. He also believes passionately in individual liberty of choice, supported by a free market, small government, and freedom of speech.
As a believer in “Education, NOT Indoctrination”, over the past 20 years, and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, Doug has become increasingly concerned by the deception and fear created by one-sided narratives from corporations, government, the bureaucracy, and the mainstream media. In seeking to serve the people of Pittwater, Doug champions cutting red tape and taxes. He is determined to eliminate wasteful use of taxpayers’ money on ideas and projects that put NSW state finances at risk, and to fast-track the vital housing, infrastructure and state roads that the people of Pittwater and NSW urgently need to have completed.
