Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan says the Labor Party has struck again. This time, it’s Richmond Waste, which has lost its contract with our local hospitals. Richmond Waste had been providing services to the local health district for over 40 years.

Mr Hogan said this follows their shameful treatment of Norco and Hutley Bros. Butchery in South Lismore.

“Labor has made their priorities crystal clear: the city over our regional communities. We need to vote them out,” Mr Hogan said.

“Previously, businesses could tender for contracts that would cover just our local health area. But now, they are expected to service a much larger area of the State. This is only possible for large multi-nationals. That means the Labor Government is giving the contracts to large multinational companies over our local businesses. Shame on them.

“Labor have no reality on how the regions work. Our community proudly supports locals, and this Government is the complete opposite.”

“Every decision they make is another kick in the guts to our community, proving that Labor’s city-centric machine doesn’t have a clue about life in the regions.”
