Commitments to Robertson:
There is no larger group in our area who are suffering from homelessness, mental and physical abuse and unemployment than those who have been in care as children.
My intentions are to reduce the number in care in Robertson to half by giving short-term assistance rather than long term separation.
By reducing the number of children who are abused we will reduce the number entering into our prisons.
Abuse of children also causes most of our mental health problems later in life.
Why vote for me?
I believe in euthanasia as long as it is overseen by more than one doctor and more than one specialist and a panel of experts to make the final decision.
I accept same sex marriage but do think of those who have to change their beliefs.
With 40 per cent of Australians paying net tax and the top two per cent paying little or no tax, small businesses are those paying the largest part of our tax revenue and this needs to be reduced.
Increasing small business opportunities in Roberson will benefit those seeking work.
Tourism is a way to bring much wealth to the region.
With our waterways, beaches and other natural beauties we must utilise these assets so all will benefit.
Goals:
My aims are to assist those who have been in care in the past and present to give them a leg up so they may find healing and justice.
Sexual abuse occurs to one in three girls and one in six boys.
One in two in past child institutions were victims or were witness to others being abused.
