OPINION PIECE
This Saturday’s federal election is one that will shape the future of our nation for years to come. The outcome will determine how we are governed and the kind of country we pass on to the next generation. It may well be the most important election in recent memory. The choice is clear, and it’s yours to make.
To all my constituents in Dawson, serving you is a privilege, one I honour every single day by fighting hard to deliver real, positive outcomes for our region. If re-elected, I’ll continue to be your strong, dependable voice in Canberra. I want everyone in our region to know, regardless of your background or beliefs, you have my respect, and I have your back. I work hard for Dawson. I work hard for you.
This election presents a clear choice. More of the same under Labor, or a better direction with a Coalition that has a real and positive plan to get our country back on track.
Over the past three years, Australians have done it tough. For many in Dawson, it's been beyond hard. We've experienced the longest household recession and the sharpest decline in living standards in our nation's history.
The cost of living has soared. Groceries, electricity, fuel, and mortgage repayments are through the roof.
Seeing a GP has become harder and more expensive. Our borders are under pressure, our regions are being overlooked, and crucial infrastructure projects like upgrades to the Bruce Highway have stalled. Crime is rising. The housing crisis is worsening. Social division is growing, leaving too many Australians feeling forgotten.
Labor says, “trust us.”
But they’ve offered no new ideas and no real solutions. Just more of the same, hoping that things might improve.
The Coalition offers a positive plan and a clear, practical path forward.
A Dutton/Littleproud government will get inflation under control and ease pressure on households.
We’ll deliver affordable, reliable energy and build the homes our communities urgently need. We believe in growing the economy, not the size of government. We’ll rebalance our migration system, invest in defence, and grow Regional Australia.
Under a Coalition government, health care will get a boost with more support for mental health and better pathways for doctors to become GPs. We’ll back small businesses and key industries like agriculture, mining, and tourism. We believe in rewarding hard work, supporting families, veterans, and pensioners.
A Coalition government will restore unity and national pride.
Why vote for me?
I know Dawson. I’ve lived here my entire life. I listen to all across every one of our communities and I genuinely care about the future of this region.
This election is not just about changing the government. It’s about changing direction. Only the Coalition has the plan and experience to get Australia moving again.
Together, let’s get Dawson, and our country back on track.
