An open letter to Shire residents in Cook

Monday 19th July 2010

The Shire is a great place to live and raise a family. As your local federal Liberal MP for Cook, I’ve been working hard to keep it that way.

As I move around the Shire, I am encouraged by the strong support I have received as we have worked together on local issues that impact on our local quality of life.

Standing up on issues like rising costs of living for families and older Australians, local infrastructure and service needs, increases in aircraft noise and real action for our local environment have been a key focus.

Through initiatives such as the Cook Community Classic, I have supported our local community clubs and charities, to help them do the job that is so important to us all.

At a national level, I’ve been a strong voice for the Shire.

People in the Shire have always worked hard. We know the value of a dollar, and we know there’s no such thing as free money. The creation of a generation of debt by Labor’s addiction to spending strikes at the heart of the values we hold dear.

The fact that Julia Gillard and Labor are now borrowing one hundred million dollars a day, goes against everything we stand for.

People are constantly expressing their concern to me about Labor’s waste and mismanagement.

Pink batts disasters, school hall rorts and Labor’s border protection failures have proved why Labor cannot be given the second chance they have not earned and Australia cannot afford.

As a senior member of the Coalition team, I will work to restore what has been lost under Labor, to repay Labor’s debt, to stop the waste, to stop Labor’s new taxes and stop the boats.

As your local MP, I will continue to fight on the issues important to our community and be a strong voice for the Shire in Cook. That’s what I stand for.
