KEEPING KIDS ACTIVE
Sport brings out the best in Australians, whether that’s on the world stage or the local netball court or footy park. That’s why the Nationals will continue to invest strongly from the grassroots through to high performance sport – and more.
Sport 2030 – Australia’s first national sports plan – sets out our vision to become the world’s most active and sporting nation, recognised for our integrity as much as our success.
Each year, nearly 12 million Australians participate in organised sport helped out by another 3 million volunteers.
Only a strong economy can invest in a stronger and healthier future for all Australians.

CHAT ABOUT PAT: REGIONAL UNIVERSITY GROWTH
It's a well known fact that students are more likely to practice their newly learnt skills in the regions if they are able to study in the regions. World-class tertiary education options such as those provided by Southern Cross University are critical. I am proud to have worked alongside the team at SCU on a number of key projects, securing funding to ensure the University Programs are able to expand, particularly in medicine and healthcare.
I will continue to fight for a fair-go for Cowper and secure the funds we need and deserve.

HARNESSING SUPER TO REALISE THE AUSTRALIAN DREAM OF HOME OWNERSHIP
The great Australian dream of home ownership will be unlocked sooner for thousands of first home buyers who will now be able harness their superannuation to get into the property market.
Under the Super Home Buyer Scheme, first home buyers will be able to invest up to 40 per cent of their superannuation, up to a maximum of $50,000 to help with the purchase of their first home.
It will mean Australians can buy their first home sooner by slashing the time taken to save a deposit by three years, on average.

FUNDING TO ENSURE SCHOOL CROSSINGS TO BECOME SAFER
The Australian and New South Wales governments are investing more than $1.45 million to improve road infrastructure at schools across Cowper, making the trip to school safer for thousands of children.
This funding will support the fast roll-out of 45 projects at local schools throughout the electorate, keeping students and families safe while creating jobs and economic opportunities for businesses and suppliers.
Upgrades will include installing raised zebra crossings and pedestrian islands, as well as improving the visibility of key crossings in busy and high-risk areas, like Coffs Harbour Public School where the announcement was made today.
All projects are expected to be finished by June 2023.
Thank you to Sam Farraway MLC and Gurmesh Singh MP for joining me today to make the announcement. Once again, State and Federal governments working together to provide the best outcomes for the electorate.
