When most candidates and/or politicians make their campaigns all about "selfies" with the organised few in many places around the Barwon electorate, I want my campaign to be about others, to be about the actual community that I intend to serve.
In doing so, highlight to anyone that cares to notice, the extreme difficulties Aussie families are currently experiencing due to the cost of living crisis that our current politicians and governments had everything to do with for decades.
This will only change if you my electors are as tired as I am of hearing utter rubbish and excuses as to why we cannot fix this human crisis that is unfolding.
How about less "selfies"...less "look at me" from candidates and politicians and do your job.
Our country needs to be led in a new direction. For too many years the people and their needs have been ignored by major and minor parties, especially in our regional areas.
Infrastructure has been left to decay, services have been reduced dramatically, education and communication services are not up to standard, these, just to name a few.
I want to see YOU the people of Barwon, TELL ME what is on your mind, what you want/need fixed in your communities. I just need the majority to speak up and voice your opinions.
I am here to serve YOU...the majority...the people of the Barwon electorate, this you can be assured.

Pro-freedom (or anti-mandate) rallies are not rooted in far right extremist ideology. I respectfully pushed back on the ill-informed and grossly over-simplified belief that the freedom rallies were overwhelmingly fascist in nature and were supported primarily by far right extremists.

We are told privatisation will create more choice, savings, lower costs for consumers; in practice the opposite has happened.
"The sale of ports and electricity infrastructure and the opening of vocational education to private companies had caused him and the public to lose faith in privatisation and deregulation."
ACCC chairman Mr Rod Sims
Australians must turn back the privatisation onslaught to create the democratic and sustainable economy we desperately need.
Economy's that now don't produce enough profits, through decades of degradation of our public assets, the wealthy class has spent decades plundering the public sector that our nation once prospered from that was built up over the last century, only to create an outcome of expensive and worse services, and substandard jobs within them.
Both sides of major party governments have systematically attacked our government services and as a result have impacted dramatically the millions of Australians who rely on them for help and support.
This has to STOP!
Thousands of people were forced to evacuate Forbes and other towns in the state's latest floods, the Lachlan River reached levels not seen since 1952, thousands of megalitres poured from the Wyangala Dam.
With the dam wall raised this would mean around 650,000 megalitres or about 53% more storage. Flood mitigation is about slowing the rate of having to release huge amounts of water at any one time, anyone with any amount of common sense should realise that it is always about giving flood waters time to move on before adding to already soaked catchments.
More capacity, whatever that maybe, will allow further time between major releases, it is the sudden impact of too many major releases that cause the most destructive damage similar to a flash flood situation...too much water in a small amout of time will destroy anything in its path.
It blows my mind to listen to those current politicians that suggest that 650,000 extra litres in capacity in Wyangala specifically won't make a difference when it will give us time at least. I am not surprised, however, we are always governed at all levels by people with absolutely no life experience, that come from cities that have never experienced firsthand major floods, most of which come from years of "kicking the can down the road".
These then so called enlightened sitting politicians then come out to suggest that monies are better spent on upgrading road and rail systems in and around flood prone communities so that when devastating property destroying floods do occur we can evacuate the people of those towns...to where I ask...have we gone mad, how is it even reasonable to say...
"Oh well, can't do anything to protect your homes, your assets but hey...at least you won't drown because we have built your escape route."
What happens after that...I ask...like the township of Lismore NSW...your on your own...and if you are lucky we will buy out you out of your home for a minimal price to have you move somewhere else, that's if you can afford to live anywhere else.
We can do better...if elected...I can do better.
