Endorsed for the Palmer United Party

Kincumber resident Mr Steven Whitaker has been endorsed as the Palmer United Party candidate for the seat of Robertson.

Mr Whitaker, a former broadcast engineer and now full-time carer, said he had a keen interest in welfare, aged care services, mental health support and the environment.

Mr Whitaker also owns and runs a Central Coast chapter of the FreeCycle network, an organisation dedicated to helping those less fortunate while at the same time caring for the environment by reducing landfill.

"I love living on the Central Coast and I am proud to be standing for the Palmer United Party in the seat of Robertson," Mr Whitaker said.

"There are many issues that must be addressed in this region, such as roads, housing and employment.

"If elected I will be tackling these issues head on and doing everything in my power to secure investment in this beautiful part of Australia."

Mr Whittaker said he was aware of a number of existing projects on the Peninsula that are underway and a number of projects that are either planned or up for submission.

"It is my plan to come and talk to Peninsula residents to discuss how they feel and to gain a better understanding of what they want, and more importantly, need," he said.

"This is the kind of interaction that has been sorely missed between constituents and their Members and candidates in recent years.

"I look forward to frequenting the area shortly and meeting people on their terms," Mr Whitaker said.
