Geoff’s back in the hot seat

MARCH 25 has come and gone, and the results of the NSW general election are almost finalised.

While there has been a change in government,

I want to thank Tweed voters for their continued confidence in me to represent them in parliament.

The Coalition Government had been in office for 12 years, so no matter how safe the seat and how great the achievements, being elected for a further term was always going to be challenging.

However, the result in Tweed clearly reflects our achievements such as the Tweed Valley Hospital — due to open later this year — our investments in education, a new fire station and ambulance station, and our ongoing investment in the environment with the koala recovery centre, the expansion of Cudgen Nature Reserve and declaration of new koala corridors.

I would like to acknowledge the other five candidates for the seat of Tweed — putting your hand up to run for office is a demanding and often daunting decision and I thank them for their commitment to this area and to democracy.

Serving the Tweed in Opposition will have its challenges, but I believe that working cooperatively with the elected government, supporting policies that will benefit Tweed and opposing those that are not, is what my constituents expect me to do and I pledge to remain, as I always have been, 100% for Tweed.
