One of the biggest discussion points is about the state of our roads.
YES – this is a State issue, however the danger they are creating to us is real, and this is a Federal Government issue. The federal government has an obligation to protect our safety, if a state government is failing to do so.
If the State Government doesn’t care about our safety, then the Commonwealth Government must step up.
My plan is to develop a National Infrastructure Maintenance Standard. Any State or Local Government that doesn’t meet the standard – doesn’t get Federal funding for their “big build”. – This is a simple way that the Federal Government can intervene to make sure we are kept safe.
This is a simple plan that can make a real difference to this ongoing and dangerous situation that the state government has allowed to develop.
I expect that this will meet real opposition because of the major parties protection of their state government parties. As an Independent Candidate I pledge that I will be an independent voice for the people of Aston. I won’t be silenced due to party politics or party sensitivities.
