| Goals/objectives |
To bring strong and determined representation to the Legislative Council on regional issues. The time has come for The Nationals to have greater representation in State Parliament, so that country people get a fairer hearing. For too long we have been entrusting our vote to a metropolitan dominated major political party and consequently the regions have not been well served. We have to make country seats marginal to make them matter, and by voting for The Nationals, country people will get a better deal. I am determined to run a strong campaign, and look forward to supporting our House of Representatives Candidates in Chaffey, Flinders, Finniss & MacKillop. |
