WILLAWARRIN: CHAT WITH PAT AT Willawarrin Hotel MOBILE OFFICE
I'll be at the Willawarrin Hotel on Main Street Wednesday, 19 February 2025 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM for a casual chat with Pat!
While I do have permanent offices in Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, I appreciate that making formal appointments can sometimes feel a bit daunting and a good drive from Willawarrin. My Mobile offices are a more informal opportunity to come and chat with me.
I can help you with individual concerns relating to Federal Government issues, such as NDIS, Centrelink, Medicare, Child Care & Aged Care or hear your ideas on the issues affecting our electorate.
My team and I are here to help and listen!
📍 Where: Willawarrin Hotel , Main St.
📅 When: Wednesday, 19 February 2025
⏰ Time: 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
See you there! 👋

THANK YOU TO MY BRILLIANT MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS!!
Sometimes things don’t go to plan. I was meant to be at Coffs Harbour Jetty Markets this morning but was advised on Friday that the preselection for the Nationals Candidate for the State Seat of Port Macquarie was being held this morning. As usual my trusty members were there in force to have my back! Thank you to all of you!❤️🙏🏽
…and a HUGE congratulations to Dr Warwick Yonge who was preselected today. Post to follow!

🚨 THE PLAN: Cutting Government Waste & Delivering for Australians 🚨
The Coalition has a clear plan to tackle wasteful spending and focus on what truly matters for Australian families and businesses. Here’s how we’ll deliver efficient, responsible, and effective governance:
✅ Cut Government Waste: We’ll scrap pointless programs and activist-focused positions, ensuring every dollar spent delivers real results for Australians.
✅ Focus on Families & Businesses: Government spending will target the cost of living crisis and ensure access to high-quality health and social services where they’re needed most.
✅ Streamline the Public Service: We will halt the growth of the Canberra-based public service and ensure it’s efficient, responsive, and focused on the real needs of Australians.
✅ Scrap Symbolic Appointments: No more waste on symbolic positions or programs that don’t add value to our communities.
✅ Cut Red & Green Tape: We’ll remove unnecessary regulations that stifle businesses and drive up costs, helping to boost productivity and ease the cost of living.
✅ Responsible Budget Management: By managing the budget responsibly, we’ll help take pressure off inflation, protecting the financial security of Australian households.
We’re committed to delivering a Government that works for YOU, not wasting taxpayer money on pointless bureaucracy. It’s time to get back to basics and focus on what really matters!

Have a great weekend!

🚨 URGENT: Our Community’s Safety is at Risk! 🚨
This issue affects every single one of us here in the Port Macquarie Hastings Area — the dangerous intersections at Wrights Road, Lake Road, and Sherwood Road on the Oxley Highway.
In 2022, we secured $5 million in funding to fix this:
✅ $4 million from the Federal Coalition Government
✅ $1 million from the NSW Coalition Government
This funding was CRITICAL for planning Stage 2 upgrades to reduce congestion, improve road safety, and support our growing population.
But what did the Labor Government do? ❌ They ripped away this funding during their so-called ‘90-day Infrastructure Review’ — which dragged on for 200 days!
Even worse, the NSW Labor Government approved this disgraceful decision.
This isn’t just about traffic. It’s about SAFETY.
🚑 Emergency vehicles are delayed getting to Port Macquarie Base Hospital.
🚨 Lives are at risk every single day.
This is unacceptable.
Since this happened, I’ve been working tirelessly with Federal, State, and Local Council to get this funding back. This is NOT about politics — it’s about protecting our community. Our Lives Matter!!! 💪
I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

HATE CRIMES BILL PASSES TODAY WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE TEALS AND THE GREENS
Yesterday I spoke on the Hate Crimes Bill, in particular, the rise of antisemitism in Australia. Today, the Coalition and Labor together showed bipartisan force and passed the bill to protect all Australians. We all recognise that there is no place for hate crime or hate speech in our country.
Disgracefully, the Teals (with the exception of the Member for Wentworth Allegra Spender) and the Greens opposed the Bill.
