Barnaby Joyce for New England

At the next election New England faces an important choice – three more years of incompetence and lies from Labor or a new Liberal & Nationals government that will grow our economy and put regional communities back at the heart of our decision-making.

For the first time in decades, the choice we make here in the New England electorate could determine the future of our country. I have been working hard to make sure that our local area has a strong voice in a new Liberal & Nationals government. I have travelled our region extensively and I keep hearing the same things – people want a strong, stable government who can keep our debt under control, repeal the carbon tax and take action to fix the live cattle debacle. They want a strong player in the Coalition to represent them. They are sick of the waste and the spin that has been the legacy of this Labor government. And they want a government that is serious about delivering a better deal for the regions, by protecting jobs and communities.

That is why The Nationals have a clear plan to put regional Australia back in front:

Reinvesting in the regions – improving access to services such as health and education, and creating a Regional Fair Share Fund to build the infrastructure we so desperately need.
Rebuilding our economy – ending Labor’s waste and repealing the Carbon Tax.
Restoring trust in government – putting a stop to Labor’s scandals, lies and spin.

With your help we can turn things around,

Barnaby Joyce
The Nationals Candidate for New England
