Under Labor, living standards for all Australians have fallen dramatically over the last 2½ years, and our economy is grinding to a halt. The only way to get Australia back on track is to elect a Dutton coalition government. Someone I'd like to see as part of that government is Nathan Conroy, our Liberal candidate for Dunkley and a true champion of his community. Nathan understands what matters most to the people of Dunkley and those that proudly call Dunkley their home because for three years he was elected by his peers to be mayor of Frankston. He knows the challenges faced by those local families, small business owners, traders and sports clubs because he's out there talking to them every single day as he's done for years.

From rising electricity bills to skyrocketing rents and the increasing cost of everyday items, the cost of living is hitting the people of Dunkley very hard indeed. The last thing they need right now—indeed, the last thing all Australians need or want—is for this crisis to go on any further. Nathan knows that the only way to deliver real and sustainable cost-of-living relief is to get inflation down and to get inflation down faster. He knows that only a Dutton coalition government will deliver the strong economic leadership needed to rein in spending, remove unnecessary red tape and tackle the cost-of-living crisis head on.

Nathan Conroy is all about supporting small business. He's all about focusing on local families, not just in the short term but in the long term too. He will be a strong advocate for every corner of the community, from Frankston to Seaford, Langwarrin and Carrum. Nathan has a bold vision for Dunkley, and he's working so hard to take the community with him and to share that vision with them. I'm looking forward to joining Nathan on the ground in his community to help him get elected to parliament so that he can advocate for his community right here. (Time expired)
