FORMER Liberal Member for Frankston Geoff Shaw has been announced as the United Australia Party\u2019s lead candidate for the upper house seat of Northern Victoria, with Elijah Suares running second.<\/p>\n

Mr Shaw said he was motivated to return to politics following lockdowns to \u201crise up\u201d against Premier Daniel Andrews.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to see [lockdowns] again. I don\u2019t want to see people shot in the street\u2026 [or] people in their pyjamas getting arrested,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy has shown that he can do that and what would stop him doing it again? So, I\u2019m here to defeat an enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Shaw said water management and the cost of living are prevalent issues for the region and if elected, he aims to advocate for an acceleration in dam developments and bureaucratic processes.<\/p>\n

Housing, Mr Suares said, is especially a concern for the Bendigo area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a growing community but we don\u2019t have enough housing. The Bendigo Airport was another issue that took 10 years too long,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s got the funding, how are we going to house all these new people coming into Bendigo?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Shaw lost the seat of Frankston after he was found to have used his parliamentary car and fuel cards to support his hardware business.<\/p>\n

Prior to politics, Mr Shaw ran an accounting firm for nearly 20 years, and during his hiatus, dabbled in a hair transplant clinic, and wrote a book called Dan Andrews Unmasked.<\/p>\n

Having studied at La Trobe\u2019s Bendigo campus, Mr Suares is a structural engineer and said the pandemic lockdowns interrupted a study opportunity in Detroit.<\/p>\n

He unsuccessfully contested the seat of Bendigo during the Federal election earlier this year, and said he\u2019s aiming for a different outcome this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really confident now. At the Federal election, there wasn\u2019t much talk about Albanese. It was more how do we sack Dan Andrews,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we\u2019re at State level, we\u2019ve got a real opportunity to get rid of him. They\u2019ve overreached their powers with the pandemic laws they\u2019ve brought in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve overstepped and micromanaged. Victorians are sick of the government being in their lives and they want them out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
