"My primary aim is to represent the people of Gippsland East fairly and forcefully.  In doing so, I recognise that country people need to co-operate to challenge the domination of the capital city. 
   

East Gippsland does not demand more than its fair share of the wealth of the Nation but its people should not accept less."
