State Election: One Nation Candidate for Penrith

BELINDA McWilliams is the Penrith State Election Candidate for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party.

Ms McWilliams was born in Dandenong Victoria and raised in Mulgrave in Metropolitan area of Victoria.

“I was educated in Noble Park North Primary and later Carwatha Secondary School before completing my education at the Monash University majoring in General Law and began my employment at Freehill Holdingdale and Page law firm,” Ms McWilliams said.

“I continued to develop my law skills conducting legal research for court matters and educated the article clerks in the usage of electronic resource management. In 2000 I took leave to become a mother and support my growing ambitions to raise a family. This saw me attend to home duties for the next seven years before I began to travel around Australia self-schooling my growing family in both general education and life skills.

“In 2011 my family and I purchased a home in Mackay Qld where we resided. My husband at the time was employed in construction at Mackay Hospital. I too gained employment at Mackay Hospital as initially a cleaner and then was successful in gaining a position as a building labourer, I continued in this role until the collapse of the construction industry.

In Mid 2019 Ms McWilliams moved from Brisbane QLD to Kingswood NSW via an employment transfer after a marriage breakdown.

“I was with this company until COVID hit the country and saw my employment ceased. In 2019,” Ms McWilliams said. .

“I successfully entered politics as a member of Pauline’s One Nation Party and became part of my local Regional Co-coordinating Committee and worked briefly in the NSW Party office in Sydney until the office relocated to Cessnock NSW.

“In 2022 I successfully applied as a candidate and was successful in gaining the endorsement as the NSW State candidate for the Seat of Penrith. Since my endorsement I have endeavoured to support the party’s policies but have also become a strong advocate for the residents of Penrith particularly opposing the relocation of the Penrith Paceway to make way for a new stadium for the local football team.

“While I am not opposed to development in Penrith, I am strongly in support of ensuring adequate representation for the people of Penrith.

“I am acutely aware that Penrith is a growing area however any development requires adequate investment in infrastructure, public consultation whilst ensuring the history of the area is preserved.

“If I am elected in the upcoming state election, I promise to support the interests of the people of Penrith first and foremost. I intend to run my campaign on a basis of truth and integrity.”
