The below image paints a thousand words...Homelessness out of control...this is a warning of our impending future, if we don't as elected officials stop kicking the can down the road providing substantial social housing across the state of NSW, across the country for that matter...
It is my absolute priority to see that this becomes a reality before tent cities become the new normal rather than a rarity.
Virginia Beach USA in 2011...we need to stop this happening here in Australia.
Tent City Virginia Beach
To have impacted the lives of the vast majority of people in electorate of Barwon so that I can feel like I gave something truly extraordinary to my home and country.
I want to see pressure applied to all levels of government to focus more on the services for the people and the reduction of costs of implementing such services.
I want to see government being again about enhancing lives, relieving cost stress and be less about treating all communities as their personal ATM.
"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth".
...Having this feeling again is simply a collective mindset, if elected to Barwon, I want to strive to bridge the gap of equality, lift communities that are feeling the growing costs; personally and financially, of simply surviving from day to day.
"Our problems are manmade...therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable...and we believe they can do it again."
- John F. Kennedy
All requirements of living are linked, all processes to create what we in the regions need are part of a chain, the trick in succeeding I believe, is to collectively create the chain of production right up to any finished product as close as logistically possible within each regional town...not only to make our towns once again self-sufficient but to lower the input/energy cost to production.
I consider that greater yields of any production come from smaller more intense farming and/or manufacturing processes, having parts of a process to create any product is better done the same way in multiple regional towns than to try and create separate larger facilities hundreds of kilometres away from each other...in other words create what is needed from raw materials to finished product in the same location or regional town rather than have to wait to complete a process hundreds of kilometres away.
