Lucy Wicks - Liberal
I have a plan to be a strong local voice in a better government.
For the past 16 months I've listened to residents talk about the issues that concern them.
Families and small business are struggling under the pressures of the rising cost of living and too much red tape.
We are facing a big unemployment problem on the Peninsula.
If elected, a Coalition government would scrap Labor's Carbon tax and put an extra $550 into the average family's household budget annually.
We would cut red and green tape to encourage small business and create jobs.
A Coalition government would create one million new jobs over five years and we would use proven measures to stop the boats.
We will look after young families under the Coalition's Paid Parental Leave scheme.
Our scheme will provide mothers with 26 weeks of paid parental leave, at their actual wage or the national minimum wage (whichever is greater) plus superannuation.
I will address our skills and jobs shortage by establishing a Commonwealth agency in Gosford.
This will boost trade and local employment.
As part of the Coalition's $21 million Growth Plan for the Central Coast I will provide $3.25 million for the redevelopment of Wow Woy Oval, invest $3 million into improving our roads, including addressing a black spot at Langford Drive and Woy Woy Road and provide $680,000 for increased CCTV cameras.
The Coalition's growth plan will improve roads, create long-term jobs, invest in skills training, build community and sports facilities, clean up the environment and make our streets safer.
