Mr Murphy sees the campaign as an opportunity to inject the core values of "kindness, equality rationality and non-violence" into the political conversation.
"A key concern for me is live animal exports - I support calls to end this cruel practice, and increased investment in ethical trade opportunities for our agriculture industry," Mr Murphy said.
