Candidates
Eight candidates will contest the seat of Wright on 18th May 2019. The Australian Electoral Commission said with a record enrolment rate of 96.8% it is important that all Australians enrolled now think about how and when they will cast their vote. “We have the most complete electoral roll since federation and we’re providing a broad range of voting services but it is up to enrolled Australians to turnout to make sure they have their say,” Mr Rogers said. Go to www.aec.gov.au to find the location and opening times for early voting centres or call the AEC on 13 23 26. Candidates for Wright were invited to provide information about themselves and their policies to The Canungra Times.
LNP - Scott Buchholz
As someone who has always lived in regional towns, run my own small business and raised a family, I know that a strong economy is central to everything. It’s not just about jobs, taxes and the bottom line – it’s about people. A strong

economy means guaranteeing funding for schools and hospitals, providing a strong Medicare system and a social safety net for those in need. A strong economy means we can keep Australians safe and secure with a strong border protection program. It means we can invest in better roads and transport systems in the regions. A strong economy creates the opportunity for everyone to get ahead. Because we all know from personal experience that you can’t just keep on racking up debt. And we all understand that you can’t pay for the essentials if you can’t manage money. That’s why a strong economy is so important for the future, especially for our young people. I’m proud to be part of a team that has the runs on the board when it comes to economic management – delivering the first surplus in 12 years. But I’m also passionate about fighting for the things we need locally and making sure our local communities share in the benefits. I’ve help secure extra funding to fix roads, repair bridges, support local community and sporting groups, and invest in our local

schools, hospitals and defence force. But there’s more to be done. That’s why the choice at this election is crucial. It’s a choice between Scott Morrison and a strong economy where people can get ahead or the risky tax and spend policies of Bill Shorten. I will stand against the $387 billion in new taxes that Bill Shorten and Labor are planning which will hit local households and small businesses hard.
United Australia Party - David Wright
David sees a great opportunity to breathe fresh air into politics. He thinks that with United Australia Party now standing in all 151 seats across the country, it has the numbers to make substantial improvement for the first, and possibly only time in Australia’s political history. He sees the key features of the campaign: • Stop the sell-off of our land and key infrastructure/assets to foreign powers and interests. • Change how provisional tax is paid to free up substantial cash flow for businesses.
