What do the people of Port Stephens have to gain by voting for you?
One significant reason for leaving Sydney and moving to beautiful Port Stephens was the scandalous overdevelopment of the suburbs and construction without any infrastructure planning such as 45 storey apartment blocks in the midst of suburban houses and shops. I will fight to stop that happening here.
What do you think the biggest issues are for voters in Port Stephens?
Protecting our environment, stopping overdevelopment and stopping corruption.
What are your party’s policies to improve these issues?
We will return real planning powers to local communities through local council.
Are there any other policies that you want to highlight?
We need to strop sprawl, which bulldozes bushland and animals habitats.
