Today I am extremely humbled to have been preselected as The Nationals candidate for the seat of Calare for the upcoming Federal Election.
As a lifelong resident of the Central West and a former small business owner, this community is my heart and soul. I know first-hand the pride we all share for our local communities and the neglect we all currently feel as life gets harder and harder under the Albanese Labor Government.
Families across our region are struggling to pay their mortgage, cover the rent, afford their power bills and put food on the table. The Albanese Labor Government has lost sight of the challenges that our region is currently facing – from failed referendums that divided our nation to a renewables only plan, it’s clear that Canberra have been ignoring the real issues facing us.
Crucial local projects like the Great Western Highway upgrade, a project that is desperately needed for the future of our region, has had its funding cut under the Albanese Labor Government, whilst our farmers are having their prime agricultural land ripped up for a reckless renewables’ rollout.
Our communities need change, we need a new vision, a fresh set of ideas and change in how we are represented in Canberra.
Only a strong Nationals voice in Canberra can ensure our communities’ needs are front and centre. That’s why I’m running — to give Calare back a strong voice in Canberra.
My priorities are to get the Great Western Highway upgrade back on track, bolster an energy plan that includes zero-emission Nuclear which provides 24/7 power for our homes and businesses; provide real support for our small businesses - not hinder them with more red tape, and to put our local farmers back at the forefront by ensuring major supermarkets give them a fair price.
It’s time our communities’ voices were heard again, your concerns were listened too and acted upon. Together we can create change for the better and build a stronger future for the Central West.
To the good people of Calare, my promise to you is if elected, I will not break my contract with you, and to always put you front and centre in my decisions.
