Abigail is passionate about creating a level playing field for all Australians, including through tax reform, reinvestment in health and education and reforms to address the lack of affordable housing.
She is committed to ensuring that families on the Central Coast are able to access cost effective childcare and that the most vulnerable in our community can access quality community services.
Abigail believes in long-term planning for the Gosford electorate, well beyond the next electoral cycle, and will fight for the state government to invest in much-needed transport infrastructure and local services.
This includes reducing the commute between Gosford and Sydney, reinvesting in TAFE, funding affordable and accessible childcare and bringing a university campus to Gosford.
Abigail understands the benefit to the community of investing in Gosford’s cultural infrastructure, and is committed to building the Performing Arts Centre.
Key to smart long-term development is the preservation of what makes the Central Coast a great place to live, our beautiful environment, our clean water supply and our public spaces.
All of these are under threat from the weakening of our environmental protection laws, overly-favourable conditions for developers and failure to properly consult with the community on local projects.
Abigail will fight to restore the balance and ensure that the community has a meaningful say in what happens to their neighbourhoods.
Abigail will consult widely with the community and will be available at local listening posts twice a month, giving all residents the opportunity to have their voices heard.
