THIS AREA NEEDS A CHAMPION OPINION PIECE By: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese MP Next Saturday, voting for Jodie Belyea and Labor means choosing a local champion who can deliver for you in Government. I know Jodie will always speak up for this great part of Victoria and will help drive the decisions that make a positive difference for you and your family, just like the late Peta Murphy did. Jodie is a Frankston mum with a mortgage and a son at high school. She’s not a career politician, she’s running because she cares about serving her community and helping people. That’s what our Labor Government is all about and that’s why easing cost of living pressures is our number one priority. We’ve opened the new Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in Frankston, cut the cost of medicines, funded 19 new GPs and tripled support for bulk-billing. We’ve made child care cheaper for families and helped households and small business with their energy bills. We’ve backed fee-free TAFE to make sure people can get the skills they need for a job they want. Because of our policies hardworking Australians are earning more with real wages increasing and I want you to keep more of what you earn too. That’s why we are delivering a tax cut for every taxpayer, including over 70,000 taxpayers here in Dunkley. Labor’s tax cuts are aimed squarely at low and middle income Australians under pressure, from retail workers and cleaners at Bayside Centre, to teachers at Seaford Primary and Frankston High, to the workers who delivered the Hall Road upgrade in Carrum Downs. Peter Dutton and the Liberals have nothing positive to offer – just negativity and saying no. Our Government is working for Australia and if you vote for Jodie Belyea, she’ll work hard for you every day. |
