Time to face reality

Claudia Haenel, independent

I AM a stand alone community Independent for the federal seat of Mallee.

I am a Horsham girl born and raised where I am currently a local government councillor.

I have been a business owner and worked in the arts, health, media, agriculture and resource management sectors. I stand for integrity in government and future proofing our roads, rail, runways, health care, digital connectivity, small business and renewables.

The current government is looking at a landslide defeat, according to the major polls. We in the Mallee electorate need to ask ourselves, if Anne Webster is voted back in, what will she be able to deliver for the electorate in three years of Opposition?

How will she deliver outcomes for you, the communities of Mallee, languishing in Opposition for three years, because this is the reality we are facing. Ask yourself that question and then consider how much more beneficial and hardworking a No.1 vote for Claudia Haenel as a stand alone independent will be to you, your family and your community.

Vote 1 Claudia Haenel, Independent for Mallee.
