Three most important issues in your area?

The new nine councillor Shire with no wards is going to be extremely challenging; council needs to get back to basics and concentrate on roads and rubbish.

The three levels of government are addicted to taxes and there need to be a reconciliation of roles and responsibilities.

We need less virtue signalling and more sound economic management; It’s time council worked for everyone, not just the minorities. Let the State and Federal governments do the divisive stuff.
