Let me tell you something—the cost of living is out of control, and it’s crushing families, especially those in regional Australia. We’ve got politicians in Canberra who are more interested in playing the game than solving real problems. Well, that stops now. You deserve better, and it’s time for someone who’s going to stand up for hardworking Australians and make sure your voice is heard.
1. Lowering Energy Costs for All Australians
Energy companies are making billions, while we’re all left paying sky-high bills. That’s not how it’s supposed to be. I’ll push for a fair evidence-driven energy policy to bring down prices and keep your hard-earned money in your pocket. We’re going to fight for a national energy policy that puts people first, not the corporate giants. We’ll invest in renewable energy, and make sure every Australian, no matter where they live, has affordable, reliable energy.
2. Affordable Housing for All
You shouldn’t have to work your whole life and still be locked out of the housing market. The current system isn’t working for everyday Australians, and that’s got to change. I’ll work to bring down housing prices, make it easier for first-time buyers to get in the market, and stop property speculators from driving up prices. Housing should be a right, not a luxury. Everyone deserves a roof over their head—it’s time to make it happen.
3. Cutting the Cost of Essentials
Grocery bills, healthcare, transport—everything is getting more expensive, and the government isn’t doing enough to protect you. I’ll put pressure on the big players to lower prices, especially for the essentials that families can’t do without. You should never have to choose between food and medicine. We’ll work to make life more affordable by lowering the cost of the basics that keep Australians going.
4. Fair Wages for Hard-Working Australians
Right now, too many people in Groom are putting in long hours and still struggling to make ends meet. That’s not good enough. It’s time to deliver real wage increases, especially for workers in regional Australia who are feeling the brunt of rising costs of living. We need to ensure that a fair day's work earns a fair day's pay, so people can afford the basics and build a better future for their families. I’ll fight for wage growth that keeps up with the cost of living and delivers real benefits to our local workers.
Hard work should always be rewarded. It’s time we stand up for the workers who keep our communities moving.
5. Holding Big Corporations Accountable
The big corporations are making record profits, and meanwhile, the average Australian is finding it harder and harder to pay their bills. It’s time to take action. I’ll hold the big corporations accountable by fighting to make sure they pay their fair share in Tax. Australians should not be paying more tax than multi-billion dollar companies. When we make big business pay their fair share, more money can go back into supporting Australians—lowering the cost of living and making sure families aren’t getting squeezed by corporate greed.
6. Supporting Small Businesses
Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, and they’re facing more and more challenges. I’ll make sure we cut the red tape and give small businesses the support they need to grow and thrive. From tax breaks to local job creation, we’re going to make sure small businesses can compete—because when they thrive, our communities thrive.
7. A Fairer Tax System
Let’s get something straight—the tax system isn’t working. It’s rigged against the little guy, and it’s time for a change. We need to close the loopholes that let the wealthiest Australians and corporations avoid paying their fair share. I’ll fight for a fairer tax system where the big players are paying what they owe, and everyday Australians aren’t left to pick up the slack. This isn’t about penalising success—it’s about making sure the tax system works for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.
8. Regional Support
We’ve been forgotten for far too long. Regional Australians deserve the same opportunities, infrastructure, and support as those in the cities. I’ll fight for better infrastructure, more local jobs, and affordable transport to make sure we’re not left behind. You shouldn’t have to travel hours just to access basic services. Regional Australia deserves better, and I’m here to make sure that happens.
What I Stand For
You’ve had enough of the broken promises and the empty words from politicians who don’t understand what it’s like to struggle. I’m not here to play the game—I’m here to fight for you. Every day, hardworking Australians are doing everything they can to make ends meet, but they’re being left behind. It’s time to bring honesty and integrity back to Canberra, and put people before politics.
We’ve got a long road ahead, but I won’t stop fighting until we’ve made life more affordable for every Australian. You deserve better, and I’m not going to rest until we make sure your cost of living is no longer a burden. Together, we’ll make sure that Canberra works for you, not the corporations or the elites. This is our fight, and together, we’re going to win it.
