This Saturday, the people of New South Wales have a clear choice: strength and unity from the Liberal National coalition or Labor on L-plates. Strong teamwork is exactly what we are delivering in my part of New South Wales, with state members Pru Goward in Goulburn, John Barilaro in Monaro, Jai Rowell in Wollondilly and Katrina Hodgkinson in Cootamundra. And the benefits are flowing fast.

In Goulburn alone, $120 million from the Baird government will be spent on redeveloping Goulburn hospital. There is federal funding for a new headspace centre, $12 million in joint state and federal funding for much-needed bridge rebuilding and the NBN will rollout to 9½ thousand premises. At Yass, up to $15 million in shared state and federal funding has been announced for the Barton Highway—funding to kick-start the plan for a staged duplication. Close campaigning by all three levels of government in Yass—federal, state and local—has put the Barton back in the spotlight. Labor will do nothing on this issue and has been totally silent.

The love will keep coming for communities in my electorate, because the teamwork between state and federal MPs is concrete, as concrete as the bridges we are building near Young and Goulburn. These are the projects that matter. To voters in Monaro, Goulburn, Wollondilly and Coota, the choice is clear this Saturday: vote 1 for the strong teamwork of the Liberal National coalition.
