00:00Hi, I'm Dan Teehan, the Liberal Party candidate for WANNIT.
00:16So we've got to make sure that we keep investing in our roads at the federal level.
00:21What we've seen under the Albanese Labor Government is cuts to our road funding
00:27and of course the Victorian State Government is broke
00:30so they aren't providing the money that we need into our local roads
00:35both to maintain them and to fix them.
00:38So a coalition government, if elected, will provide $4 for every $1 the state puts into our roads
00:47so that we can make sure when it comes to the maintenance of our roads
00:51and fixing our roads, the Commonwealth is making a significant contribution.
00:56We are also going to announce that we will be working with local government
01:02to make sure that we can fix their roads as well
01:06and there's more to come on that during the election campaign.
01:11But making sure we fund the state government and that 4 to 1 ratio
01:16because at the moment it's 1 to 1 ratio
01:18and ensuring that we work with local government is going to be absolutely vital.
01:24And can I say it's also great to see that the $60 million that we provided
01:30when we were in government to fix the road between Warrnambool and Port Ferry
01:35we're seeing action on that at last
01:38and I'm sure everyone who travels that road will be thrilled
01:42that that $60 million that a coalition government put into that road
01:47that the state government are finally fixing it.
01:53Well, we have to do two things.
01:55First of all we've got to make sure that we get inflation under control
01:59and that's through good economic management.
02:02And a coalition government always manages the economy well
02:07and that is going to be an absolute key to dealing with cost of living.
02:11We have to get rid of government waste
02:13and we have to make sure we prioritise spending into the right areas.
02:17The second thing we have to do is provide immediate cost of living relief
02:21and our 25 cents a litre cut to the fuel tax will do that.
02:30That will save families in Wannan up to $1,500, $2,000 a year.
02:37So every time you fill up either your petrol or your diesel will be $0.25 a litre cheaper
02:46and that is immediate.
02:48So families will get immediate cost of living relief under a coalition government if we're elected.
02:57Well, working with the aged care sector in Wannan is something that's been a key focus of mine
03:02over a long period of time now.
03:04Obviously, we were able to get $14 million for Eggly.
03:08They've now got a brand new aged care facility.
03:11We've been able to help Abalee in Mortlake.
03:14We've also been able to help other aged care providers right round the electorate of Wannan
03:21and that will continue to be a key focus.
03:23I've been working, for instance, with the group in Terang
03:27that are looking at providing independent living and aged care facilities there
03:32and I look forward to working with them and all the aged care providers right across the electorate.
03:39We also have to make sure that aged care is properly funded by government.
03:44And one of the things that we did was put extra funding, not only into aged care,
03:50but into making sure that people got the support that they needed to be able to stay at home longer.
03:56And that will continue to be a key focus of a coalition government if we're elected.
04:02I'm against it. The community has been very strong in voicing its concerns about this proposed offshore wind farm.
04:15I took a petition to the parliament which had 7,000 signatures
04:20and that shows the community does not support this.
04:25The community feel like they've been railroaded on this offshore wind farm.
04:29We also saw from Portland exactly the same feeling that they felt like they were being railroaded.
04:36And the government in the end has put it off the coast here of Warrnambool and Port Ferry.
04:40It's a bad idea. It doesn't have community support.
04:44It's been put in an environmentally sensitive area where we have wonderful marine bird life,
04:50wonderful whale breeding area and this is the wrong place for this offshore wind farm.
04:57And if we are elected to government, we will rip it up.
05:02Thank you so much for joining us.
05:03Thanks far.
05:04Thanks for removes all the reasons carried away.
05:05Lots of people and other worsened rail markets are up.
05:08Absolutely not.
05:09Thanks, guys.
05:10Thanks a lot.
05:11Thanks to lots of people, and much.
05:12And I'll put everything together in a new age,
05:15of course.
05:16I like private intelligence system here as I stay.
05:17I like that it.
05:18I held onto NASA and Kempe paper by the gap between 150� "...
