At last the Federal election date has been called for Saturday, May 3, and while Central Coast pledges have been pouring in for weeks, the campaign has now officially started.
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid was the first to list Labor priorities for the region (some previously mooted): more Medicare Urgent Care Clinics, new tax cuts, energy bill relief, more bulk billing, cheaper medicines, better maternity services, free TAFE, 20% wiped from student debts, and keeping the NBN in public ownership.
“I want to establish a new Medicare Urgent Care Clinic on the Central Coast, to complement our existing clinics at Umina Beach and Lake Haven,” Reid said.
“We’ll help more people on the Central Coast buy their first home through our Shared Equity Scheme and build more social and affordable housing.
“I want to bust congestion and upgrade Terrigal Dr, continue the progress to upgrade Avoca Dr through Kincumber and fix dangerous intersections at Empire Bay.”
Reid said another priority was to get construction started on the Ocean Beach Rd and Rawson Rd intersection upgrade at Woy Woy and deliver more local road improvements.
“I remain opposed to the Wamberal seawall, and I want to ensure our environment is protected,” he said.
“There is a clear choice for the people of Robertson this election; continue the progress we have made with me or go backwards under Peter Dutton and the former Member for Robertson, Lucy Wicks.”
