Nicolien van Vroonhoven can't wait to get involved in Australian politics.


She moved away from politics in the Netherlands, so her husband could pursue a career in Melbourne, Australia. Now it's her job to look after her 5 children, shifting them from home to school to hockey field and back. However Nicolien van Vroonhoven, a former MP and councilor of Hilversum, can't wait to get involved in Australian politicians. "I would really like to contribute", she says. "As an adviser maybe or policy maker. I just feel Australian politicians could do so much better."
