Pitch points: “It’s time for regional Australia to endorse a new generation of capable, articulate, and passionate advocates who understand its interests.
“Regional advocates will need to listen to, and understand, the issues of regional Australia, and at the same time have the experience and skills to make the case in the capital cities.
“I already bridge this divide, and I am confident that with my background and experience I can deliver real results for regional Australia – and Hume in particular.”
