Pitch points: “In the life of every party, there inevitably comes a time when we need to consider the difficult issue of renewal. If pre-selected, I would continue the passionate representation of Hume.
“I hope I might persuade you that I am well equipped to build on the legacy of the sitting Member (Alby Schultz) with new energy, ideas and vision.”
