"I'm standing at this election because I believe our community needs a fresh start. Our local roads are in a terrible condition and they're getting worse. Our local nurses are overworked and under-resourced, and our local schools have dozens of cancelled classes because we don't have enough teachers.

"Labor is offering a fresh start for Goulburn, including an emergency road fepair fund to urgently fix our deteriorating local roads. We'll recruit 1200 more nurses, and implement minimum safe staffing levels in our hospitals. We'll recruit 10,000 more permanent teachers, and we'll do all this without privatising public assets like the Liberals.
