With the Federal Budget being handed down later tonight, I want to draw your attention to a cohort of people that are paying the price for this government’ spending spree – it’s mums and dads, middle-income earners.

I want to see our fiscal policy address 3 main things:

1. Tax burden on middle-income earners reduced
2. Shift away from drains on the budget, such as Net Zero and excessive public employment
3. Support local productive industries

All of which is achievable as a true Independent Member of Parliament, not bound to idealisms or party lines – I will be committed to doing what’s right by the people of Monash, and wider Australia.

It was a great pleasure to officially open the brand new changerooms at Korumburra Bena Football Netball Club on Saturday.

This was a jointly funded project with the Federal Government delivering $710K through the 2022 Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. Significant infrastructure like this brings a multitude of benefits to regional towns like Korumburra and surrounds.

Thank you for having me along to the opening and best of luck to the Mighty Giants for the upcoming season.

'True Independent'. Exactly.

Russell Broadbent is an honest and honorable man. Who has represented the Gippsland Latrobe Region as a Member of Parliament for around 30 years. He is standing in this Election to save jobs in the power and paper industry.

Thank you Mary for supporting Russell and for your sign. I read it regularly as an Inverloch resident, as I regularly make my way to Traralgon; even when it says “Mary has no spuds”. I’m sure Russell will have every success as an independent in the forthcoming election. It’s not often we find a federal member of parliament who supports regional Victoria. Thank you Russell Broadbent, and I for one hope you serve another term for the Monash electorate.
