00:00Hi, I'm Dan Teehan, the Liberal Party candidate for WANNIT.

00:16So we've got to make sure that we keep investing in our roads at the federal level.

00:21What we've seen under the Albanese Labor Government is cuts to our road funding

00:27and of course the Victorian State Government is broke

00:30so they aren't providing the money that we need into our local roads

00:35both to maintain them and to fix them.

00:38So a coalition government, if elected, will provide $4 for every $1 the state puts into our roads

00:47so that we can make sure when it comes to the maintenance of our roads

00:51and fixing our roads, the Commonwealth is making a significant contribution.

00:56We are also going to announce that we will be working with local government

01:02to make sure that we can fix their roads as well

01:06and there's more to come on that during the election campaign.

01:11But making sure we fund the state government and that 4 to 1 ratio

01:16because at the moment it's 1 to 1 ratio

01:18and ensuring that we work with local government is going to be absolutely vital.

01:24And can I say it's also great to see that the $60 million that we provided

01:30when we were in government to fix the road between Warrnambool and Port Ferry

01:35we're seeing action on that at last

01:38and I'm sure everyone who travels that road will be thrilled

01:42that that $60 million that a coalition government put into that road

01:47that the state government are finally fixing it.

01:53Well, we have to do two things.

01:55First of all we've got to make sure that we get inflation under control

01:59and that's through good economic management.

02:02And a coalition government always manages the economy well

02:07and that is going to be an absolute key to dealing with cost of living.

02:11We have to get rid of government waste

02:13and we have to make sure we prioritise spending into the right areas.

02:17The second thing we have to do is provide immediate cost of living relief

02:21and our 25 cents a litre cut to the fuel tax will do that.

02:30That will save families in Wannan up to $1,500, $2,000 a year.

02:37So every time you fill up either your petrol or your diesel will be $0.25 a litre cheaper

02:46and that is immediate.

02:48So families will get immediate cost of living relief under a coalition government if we're elected.

02:57Well, working with the aged care sector in Wannan is something that's been a key focus of mine

03:02over a long period of time now.

03:04Obviously, we were able to get $14 million for Eggly.

03:08They've now got a brand new aged care facility.

03:11We've been able to help Abalee in Mortlake.

03:14We've also been able to help other aged care providers right round the electorate of Wannan

03:21and that will continue to be a key focus.

03:23I've been working, for instance, with the group in Terang

03:27that are looking at providing independent living and aged care facilities there

03:32and I look forward to working with them and all the aged care providers right across the electorate.

03:39We also have to make sure that aged care is properly funded by government.

03:44And one of the things that we did was put extra funding, not only into aged care,

03:50but into making sure that people got the support that they needed to be able to stay at home longer.

03:56And that will continue to be a key focus of a coalition government if we're elected.

04:02I'm against it. The community has been very strong in voicing its concerns about this proposed offshore wind farm.

04:15I took a petition to the parliament which had 7,000 signatures

04:20and that shows the community does not support this.

04:25The community feel like they've been railroaded on this offshore wind farm.

04:29We also saw from Portland exactly the same feeling that they felt like they were being railroaded.

04:36And the government in the end has put it off the coast here of Warrnambool and Port Ferry.

04:40It's a bad idea. It doesn't have community support.

04:44It's been put in an environmentally sensitive area where we have wonderful marine bird life,

04:50wonderful whale breeding area and this is the wrong place for this offshore wind farm.

04:57And if we are elected to government, we will rip it up.

05:02Thank you so much for joining us.

05:03Thanks far.

05:04Thanks for removes all the reasons carried away.

05:05Lots of people and other worsened rail markets are up.

05:08Absolutely not.

05:09Thanks, guys.

05:10Thanks a lot.

05:11Thanks to lots of people, and much.

05:12And I'll put everything together in a new age,

05:15of course.

05:16I like private intelligence system here as I stay.

05:17I like that it.

05:18I held onto NASA and Kempe paper by the gap between 150� "...

05:23Now we are here at 8OLD hour term,

05:26And I'll put a new, www.imbly processes.

05:28You choose empty.
