Christian Democrats: George Grant

The Christian Democratic Party has endorsed George Grant as its candidate for Robertson.

George has lived on the Coast for the past 22 years and is a one-time resident of the Peninsula.

He says that he has seen many changes affecting the region that is home to a large proportion of the Robertson voters.

Of particular concern is that crime, both petty and major, has risen to intolerable levels to a point where many citizens no longer feel safe in their own neighbourhood.

Although policing is a State issue, he believes that if elected, he will be able to ensure the State's promise for an expanded police presence will be kept - as too the major parties recent electoral promise of the installation of CCTV security surveillance as a deterrent to criminal activity.

As a Christian, George believes that Australia should maintain its Christian values and its focus on the Australian family.

George believes that future government policies should be assessed on three things: Are they in-keeping with our Christian heritage? Are they good for families, pensioners and the disadvantaged? Are they good for the community?

He is concerned with some of the policies of other parties such as The Greens that would restrict some of Christian freedoms, that advocate that same sex relationships be equal to those who are married, and regard euthanasia as a fundamental human right.

George said he was standing as a CDP candidate because he wanted the opportunity to make a difference.
