Having worked in large organisations, in local community groups and serving as a Councillor on Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, I know what it takes to bring about positive change.

I have seen first-hand how the Liberal/National Government’s cuts are hurting us and that we need to invest in regional health, education and jobs.

I will fight for our region

The Nationals have taken our region for granted. I will stand up for our region and:

* Stop the cuts to our regional health services;

* Fight for increased funding for our local schools and TAFEs;

* Invest in a plan for local jobs, including protections for local industry and a plan to increase tourism;

* Work with local business to create more secure jobs in our region; and

* Ease the cost of living for local families by putting downward pressure on electricity prices.
