THE CHOICE WE FACE ON MAY 18

The Prime Minister has this morning announced the Federal election for Saturday May 18.

You’ll hear a lot of noise over the coming weeks. But the bottom line is that elections ultimately come down to a choice.

And the choice that Australians make at this election will determine the next decade for our nation.

It’s a choice between:

A Liberal National Government that has got the Budget back under control , delivered more than 1.2 million new jobs, and is making record investments in roads, schools, medicines and hospitals;

or

, delivered more than 1.2 million new jobs, and is making record investments in roads, schools, medicines and hospitals; A Labor/Greens/Union Government that has a disruptive plan for $200 billion in new taxes and big spending policies that will drive us back into deficit and further into debt.

It’s a choice between:

Prime Minister Scott Morrison who secured our borders as Border Security Minister, repaired the Budget as Treasurer and has already achieved much as PM after only 8 months;

or

who secured our borders as Border Security Minister, repaired the Budget as Treasurer and has already achieved much as PM after only 8 months; Bill Shorten who was the backroom factional leader who started all the political chaos in Canberra by knifing both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard in the back.

It’s a choice between:

A team with a positive plan to begin to pay down debt so we don’t keep wasting $18 billion in interest every single year;

or

so we don’t keep wasting $18 billion in interest every single year; A return to the same Labor Ministers who turned the Howard/Costello $20 billion surplus into a $27 billion deficit in just one year!

Just yesterday, Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen bragged that 16 of the 21 members of Bill Shorten’s Shadow Cabinet were Cabinet Ministers in the Rudd-Gillard Government. These are the same people who gave us the Pink Batts fiasco, over 50,000 illegal entrants and over 1,000 deaths at sea - as well as an unworkable and expensive version of the NBN that is still being fixed!

While Australians are justified in feeling frustrated with politics, this election is too important for our nation's future to be complacent.

I’ll be in touch with detailed policies over the coming weeks and you can stay up to date by following me on Facebook.

In the meantime, please take a minute to watch this short video which outlines Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s vision for our great country.

Like many Australians, I firmly believe that Scott Morrison is the right person to deliver the security, stability and responsible government that our nation desperately needs.

As always, I welcome your feedback, advice and support in the coming weeks.

Kind regards,
