DEAR News Of The Area,
THIS coming federal election is the most important for all Australians present and future, with our debt poised to break $1.2 trillion, and the budget to remain in deficit for the next 40 years.
This will be like having a visa card, maxed out, being unable to purchase anything, as we only pay the interest payment every month.
Australia is in the middle of a major cost of living crisis, with some of the highest power costs in the world, high interest rates, high wages and new industrial relations that have destroyed productivity.
Increasing construction costs, massive bankruptcies in builders and small businesses, and the closing down of Australia’s manufacturing base are other issues.
We can return the incumbent Federal Labor, whose out of control spending and broken promises are leading us down the same path as state Labor in Victoria.
Labor promised to unite the country, but has overseen the greatest division of our country, eg the voice, growing antisemitism.
It promised the most transparent government ever (Oh, yes!) but has shown no regard for us “doing it tough”, while giving themselves three pay rises.
We can vote for the Greens, who have forgotten their agenda of forest and environment and are more intent on international affairs and division.
And then we have the independent, who runs on a platform of integrity and transparency.
She says “I’m here for you”, not corporate donors, however she also accepts massive donations from donors with obscure funding, that live outside our electorate, but apparently want nothing in return.
Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it!
Lastly, the LNP, who have served Australia and this area very well for many years.
As they say: ”If it ain’t broke”.
We have choices to make, and those choices will decide our path to the future.
Please think very wisely before you vote!
Regards,
Robert ORCHARD,
Sawtell.
