THE 2022 Federal Election has been called for Saturday 21 May. This election will have real consequences for Australia’s future.
A strong economy is a prerequisite for keeping Australia secure in a volatile world. It’s what’s producing record numbers of jobs and underpinning record levels of Federal funding on the Sunshine Coast for roads and rail, for health and education, for local community groups and the under privileged.
A strong economy is how we’re alleviating cost of living pressures with:
•Lower personal income taxes.
•Temporary relief of 22 cents a litre at the petrol pump.
•A one-off tax offset of $420 for low and middle income earners.
•A one-off payment of $250 for pensioners, veterans and others.
•Increased child care subsidies and a removal of the annual cap.
A strong economy is also how I’ve secured record Federal funding for:
•Local stretches of the Bruce Highway ($3.2 billion).
•A new rail line between Beerwah and Maroochydore ($1.6 billion).
•The rail line between Beerburrum and Nambour ($390 million).
•Local roads and community facilities ($300 million).
•The Sunshine Motorway ($160 million).
•The Sunshine Coast Airport ($181 million loan).
What’s more, locally I have delivered:
• $1.06 million for locals road infrastructure.
• $3.5 million for local businesses.
• $521,000 for community groups.
• $659,000 for the live-music industry.
But still, there is more to be done and that’s why I’m recontesting the seat of Fairfax at this year’s Federal Election.
