Entirely promotional article about a candidate in the upcoming Australian federal election, does not meet any typical
WP:GNG notability standards. No significant media coverage at all.

Delete. People do not get articles just for being candidates in future elections they haven't won yet, but all of his claims to preexisting notability for other reasons are based on
primary sources rather than
reliable ones that actually support notability. Winning a "Young Australian of the Year" award, frex, does not constitute notability if your source for the information is the Australian of the Year committee's own
self-published website — the path to notability for that passes through receiving media coverage for the distinction, but none is shown here. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins the seat, but nothing here entitles him to already have an article today.
