A big 'thank you' to Trevor Williams from Coffs Harbour Legacy Fund for visiting me and chatting about the fantastic plans in Coffs Harbour.
This month I was thrilled to see that after so much agitation and avocacy, the $4.1million of Federal Government Funding under the Veterans’ Acute Housing Program was finaly awarded to build twelve transitional housing units. These will help to address the pressing need for transitional housing for veterans and their families in crisis on the Coffs Coast.
Thank you to the Coffs Coast Legacy board and to your passionate volunteers for your commitment to make this project happen. Providing affordable & appropriate housing for Widows, small families and Veterans facing homelessness is critical.
I will always work to support and advocate for vital projects like Legacy on Albany in Coffs, Watson Place in Bellingen and the upcoming Family and Community Centre in Kempsey to help those more vulnerable in our communities have a safe and stable place to live.
NAMBUCCA VALLEY: COME AND SEE ME AT THE PLAZA!
I will be at the new campaign office at Nambucca Plaza, right near the main entrance doors on Thursday 20 March from 1.30pm - 3.30pm.

The Plaza office will be open a few days a week from now until the election and my passionate volunteers are there to help answer your questions!

www.facebook.com/share/p/1DXdEhGSXZ/ Take a read people this man is nothing but a liar. Why would you want him representing you. He is going to be taken to the anti discrimination board.

Other waste of time. Speak, do nothing about crime. All f talk just like Kemp in southwest rocks. All need to be removed. People please vote the gravy train out. One nation candidate for a change. I am not associated with any party. We need to stop being sheep for the say bullshit . Over being rorted by the two s hit partys
It would have been wonderful to meet & converse with this brave authentic representative of Indigenous & other Ozzies, such a pity that local intollerant aggressive indigenous bigots forced the cancellation of the event. But well-done for organising it.
Congratulations for inviting the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians, Jacinta N Price, to Kempsey.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE DISASTER RECOVERY PAYMENT: I NEED YOUR EXAMPLES!
Over the last few days I have been liaising with the office of the Minister for Emergency Management Senator the Hon Jenny McAllister regarding eligibility for our affected LGAs for the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP) in addition to the other disaster assistance measures. At the moment, our most effected areas such as Dorrigo and Bellingen are not included.
The AGDRP is a lump sum payment to help you if you’ve been directly affected by this declared disaster. AGDRP is not for minor damage or inconvenience. Its purpose is to help you with immediate costs if one or more of the following apply:
• the disaster caused major damage to your home or a major asset or assets that you own at your home
• you were seriously injured
• you’re the immediate family member of an Australian citizen or resident who died or is missing.
A number of areas across Cowper have seen significant flooding and damage from ex-TC Alfred. But to be eligible, people in the LGA must have been impacted with major damage to their home or major assets.
MAJOR DAMAGE TO YOUR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE
Your principal place of residence has experienced major damage if, for example:
• it’s been destroyed or must be demolished
• it’s been declared structurally unsound
• this disaster has exposed the interior to the elements
• sewage has gotten inside it.
Examples of major damage to the interior of your principal place of residence are:
• flooring or furniture needs refinishing or replacing
• electrical items such as a refrigerator or washing machine have been damaged and need replacing
• metal has begun to rust, pit and corrode and needs replacing.
MAJOR DAMAGE TO A MAJOR ASSET OR ASSETS
A major asset or assets you own must be located at your principal place of residence.
Your major assets have experienced major damage if:
• they have become unusable or need to be replaced
• a water tank is damaged and needs repairing or cleaning, or the water needs to be replaced.
The asset or assets must have a combined market value of $20,000 or more. This may include buildings, vehicles, caravans, water tanks or large-scale machinery.
If you or anyone you know have been impacted in this way please contact me at pat.conaghan.mp@aph.gov.au and provide me with specific details. This will assist me to get our effected LGAs added to the eligible areas list.
If not, you may still be eligible for other disaster assistance where Cowper LGAs have been included. See

Who?
Hey Pat, I would love to know your thoughts on the treatment of the local indigenous people who attended your pollies at the pub event in Kempsey. I’ve read and heard from countless people that the indigenous community were made to stand outside and not be a part of the discussion. Can we get some clarity as to why? I’m not extremely left leaning either, I’m a fairly anti-woke citizen, but to disrespect the people who belonged to this country long before us and our ancestors did is a bit of a disappointment.
Hopefully he can repair the damages he’s done at Kendall show ground when he was running it into the ground Jon Bailey
Go Sean! Good luck on Saturday.
Go Sean 🙌

Sorry could not vote for you while you are associated with Australia’s version of Donald Trump , Dutton is not tough he is a weak man his actions as a cop shows what sort of man he is
Who are you giving your preference to?labour, liberals,greens?count me out of any of them.
arnt you going against the libs in the bielection
Your plans for Cowper, how about your party's directions for Cowper.
Who are the major donors to your campaign, and where do their funds come from?
📈 Today’s Sydney Morning Herald has just revealed that power prices in NSW will increase by roughly 9% from July 1. That’s more strain on households already stretched to the limit and another hit to small businesses trying to stay afloat.
👎 Under Albo, with the support of the Teals and Greens, everything keeps going up—power, groceries, rent. Regional families are doing it tough and Albo broke his $275 rebate promise.
We need real energy solutions that deliver cheaper energy for the future—not just more pain. Read our energy plan by visiting www.nationalsplan.org.au

Didn't Albanese Labour claim power bills would drop $200 under a Labour government ????
The QLD LNP - Liberal National Party are invested in renewables. What’s to say the federal LNP are any better? Pat Conaghan MP. You guys are still net 0 right?
So I’ve had a read of the “power plan” but I can’t see anywhere that states how it will immediately reduce our power costs. It’s a long term vision of nuclear and gas power. So how will the coalition stop the price of power from continually increasing in the mean time? Power costs are killing manufacturing and small businesses.
Anyone that thinks a $300 or even $500 rebate is great or going to save you money is obviously why we have the problem we have. Instead of spending OUR money on a rebate, why not let previously government owned companies from increasing cost's to one of the only thing people need to survive? A basic commodity within the land WE are a part of Is it possible that the government whether what party get a lot of " REVENUE " from increased prices There is a massive wealth transfer happening and people need to be aware
Nuclear is not the answer. It will cost billions, and is unlikely to be built in the time frame. It uses too much water, and what is going to happen with the waste?
I've read too that if you have solah batteries at your home your insurance is going to charge you extra for that. Assuming because of fires that are happening
9 years of LNP in government and nothing was done to find alternative power sources as EVERYBODY knows the coal powered electricity stations were coming to the end of their life.....and 15 years (at least!!) and BILLIONS of taxpayer $$$ to build nuclear power stations is NOT going to solve the power price increases
Who sold off the energy sector in NSW it was the liberal Gladys and now it is privately owned we pay to increase their profits
Pat Conaghan MP how many LNP - Liberal National Party members are invested in renewables? The QLD LNP president and attorney general are deep in. David Littleproud’s faction is net zero and sex changes. Does anyone in the national party have a set of balls?
Let me introduce ALBOBOW Circus Act, biggest Clowns ever.
