The first thing I need to say is a very big thank you to two very generous and gracious couples who made it possible for me to be able to be on the Lismore App.

A bit about myself, married 3adult children, 3 grandchildren 

I worked in construction most of my life. I had a contract cleaning business for around 10 years employing around 10 full-time people.

I am now retired but not without a job, as there is always something that needs doing at home.

I have found that Family First Party's policies are very much in line with my beliefs.

I am very grateful to the people of the Page electorate who have had the foresight to stand up and fight to get our once great country and to vote for the Family First Party.

To get us back on track, this is not going to happen overnight, it will take many years to get the debt paid off that Labour/ Greens / Teals have given us and our children to bear.

I have seen and worked in many overseas countries that are, by any definition, third-world countries, and I can see that is where Australia is heading if we stay with this Labour/Green/Teal government, as they are tearing the country apart with their policies, and straight out lies to us, as anyone can see when you are trying to live, the cost of everything has skyrocketed under Labour and if they are re-elected then The Greens will be the power behind the throne and everything will go further downhill very fast. 

I also believe that all people in whatever position they hold must be able to be held responsible for their statements and actions, that is to say, they must be able to be censured for doing the wrong thing or saying something that they know is wrong or just plain untrue and making promises that they know that they are unable to keep.

I love my country with a very great passion and want to see us prosper again where our children can buy a home and save some money for their grandchildren further and not be stressed out about work and finances all the time, and that our pensioners are able to afford to live and not just exist.

Family First Policies

Strong families form the fundamental building blocks of local communities which strengthens towns, cities and regions. Family First stands for policies that will help build up families rather than tear them down.

Family First believes human life begins at conception and should be protected from that moment until natural death. Australian women deserve support, care, and choices to carry and raise their children, and will work to create an Australia where every mother and baby receives gold-plated support, and abortion becomes unthinkable.

Children are our future and must be protected.

Modern gender ideologies are being forced upon vulnerable children, causing great harm. Family First supports restoring the true definition of male and female, restoring the meaning of ‘woman’ in the Sex Discrimination Act and keeping biological males out of women’s sport and spaces.

Family First stands with parents being able to choose the education of their children.

Christian schools are under attack by progressive activists, resulting in Christian parents having to fight to educate their children according to their faith. We need to prevent the recommendations of the ALRC (Australian Law Reform Commission) from being

implemented and seek to repeal relevant provisions in anti-discrimination law.

The number one issue for the upcoming election is the cost-of-living crisis. This is a crisis that we all feel. We feel it via housing affordability, we feel it at the grocery store, we feel it at the petrol pump, and we especially feel it in our electricity bills. This is a

crisis that was caused by the major parties.

For a country to remain prosperous, it requires cheap, reliable, clean, and secure energy. Australia should be leading the world in this area. We have coal, gas, oil, and uranium in abundance. We are so energy resource-rich, and yet successive government

policies stop us from utilising these resources ourselves, instead opting for foreign-provided, expensive, and unreliable renewables.

Family First believes Australian resources should be used by and for Australians. The virtue-signalling obsession with renewables will bankrupt the country, destroying our security and environment along with it. We simply cannot afford to let that happen.

Australians deserve affordable electricity, not empty promises and higher bills. It’s time to end the renewable rort and put Families First.
