MEET THE CANDIDATES

-

Candidate: Nathan O’brien Electorate: Fadden

Party: United Australia Party What suburb do you live in?

Coomera.

Why are you running?

The very soul of our nation is under attack. I want to hand my children a free and democratic country. I love our country and our people. We are a resource rich nation and I believe our most valuable resource is our people. Our government has sold us out and lied to us.

What political experience do you have?

I have no formal political experience, but have been exposed to our political processes from time-to-time. The last thing Fadden needs right now is another politician.

Outside politics, what life and work experience do you have?

I am blessed to have worked with and have been mentored by some of Australia’s foremost thought leaders. I’ve always been in the “people” business, having served in franchisin­g, real estate and logistics.

What, in your opinion, is the No.1 issue facing voters in your electorate?

The rising cost of living. Liberal and Labor have run-up over $1 trillion debt (for our health). We don’t have a climate emergency, we have an economic crisis and it’s on our shores.

If elected, what will be your priority when you enter the new parliament?

1. Introduce a Bill of Rights to protect our freedom and end mandates;

2. Cap home loan rates below 3 per cent for five years; 3. Introduce a 15 per cent export licence on all iron ore to ensure our trading partners retire our debt, not Australian­s; 4. Abolish HECS debt and increase the aged pension by $180 per fortnight; 5. Provide $40bn additional funding for hospitals and healthcare across Australia.
