I am a strong believer that Prime Minister Scott Morrison is starting to lead the way forward. I use power pricing as one great example. Keep the message simple about lowering power pricing for manufacturing, small business and households at the voter, promote coal powered energy at the forefront, and ensure the conversation is being had by voters at the BBQ.

The other example I will use is ensuring the policy that is on everyone's mind, job and job security starts on Budget night, that policies such as lower taxes for small businesses and working people are included, whilst supporting our export industries to flourish and nation building infrastructure in our Rural areas have solid spending packages.

The Coalition need to get the message out there, contrast the opposition policies and keep it simple.

Kevin, at your last election campaign, you (hand in hand with Mike) stated that by privatizing NSW power you would guarantee lower electricity prices.

Tell the fairies that wrote your speech that we are still waiting for that miracle. 

Regarding your taxpayer funded paraphernalia, I will put it down the front of my shirt in winter to keep warm as I can’t afford to run my heater.

Once again you’re relying on facial-recognition to get votes. 

The generosity of rural people to help farmers finally embarrassed you into helping them, not that you listened. I’m sure the Nationals will have a cooperate-box at the new stadium. 

Your policies have brought families closer together, huddled under a blanket as they can’t afford to run heaters. 

Social shopping mall outings for our senior citizens, keeping cool and having a meal as they can’t afford to pay for both food and electricity at home. And you’re very silent about the Liverpool Plains mines.

Sydney grows fat on carcasses of rural people fed to them by the Nationals. The time has come to end this disaster for NSW rural people.
