Federal MP for Blaxland, Jason Clare, says the last few years have been really tough and a lot people are stressed, anxious and exhausted – and the “mistakes of Scott Morrison has made this worse”.
“We can’t risk another three years of this,” he said.
“Australia is the best country in the world. Our community deserve a government that has a plan for the future.”
While Labor’s plan will also include strengthening Medicare, helping to buy a house and fixing the aged care crisis, the Liberal party says it will deliver more jobs and tax relief, further reduce unemployment, and make huge investments in roads, rail, renewable energy technology, health and other services.
Federal MP for Banks, David Coleman, says this election is an “important choice for our community”.
“It’s a choice between a Government with a track record of economic success – with unemployment at just four per cent – and an untested Opposition with no economic experience,” he said.
Federal MP for Watson, Tony Burke said: “I’m glad the election is finally been called. Locals need the chance to be able to vote for a better future. Cost of living prices is out of control and I want people to have the chance to choose Labor’s policies for cheaper energy, cheaper childcare and more secure local jobs.”
Labor candidate for Banks, Zhi Soon, says if Labor is elected it will commit $100,000 towards the refurbishment of the Riverwood Community Centre hall, where groups come together for various events and activities.
“The hall is in need of refurbishment and better storage, and these upgrades will have a positive impact ensuring different groups have facilities available to meet and celebrate,” he said.
Parties promising each will do better
CUTTING the cost of child care and rebuilding the manufacturing industry will be part of the plan to get Labor elected at next month’s Federal Election.
