Forza recently elected unopposed in Cunningham visits Parliament House to organise his Parliamentary Office before the start of the next term. Whilst there he had a few comments regarding the heated race unfolding for the seat of the nations Capital.

It’s great to be representing Cunningham for another term, just wish one of the big parties cared enough to actually run someone and give my people a chance to have their voice heard. It’s now my job to make sure I connect with my people and bring their voice to Canberra.

Other areas have an overabundance of candidates, the seat we’re physically in for example, Canberra has three independent candidates running against the Leader of the Australian Labour Party. Canberrans are spoilt for choice and their voice will absolutely be heard.

That being said, personally I think they have a clear choice, if Canberrans want someone that will truly represent them, their values and always put them first they can surely only vote for my old colleague Youmaton. The one true way of ensuring territory rights is to provide them with statehood, and Youmaton recognises this. While previous attempts have failed, the trajectory is headed in that direction. More and more Canberrans want statehood and the rights to self determination that come with it. You hear it all the time when you’re walking around these streets, now that Northern Territory has statehood, Canberrans want it too! Who better to deliver on this than Youmaton? No one is the answer. You’ll get similar answers if you’re looking for who is better at wiping the ACT Housing Debt or delivering for locals with increased CSIRO funding.

Every single policy point Youmaton has will benefit the people of Canberra, and as a lifelong local Youmaton is all the more comfortable in listening directly to people in Canberra, just as I keep up with my people in Cunningham.

Whilst I’m not a local, its clear Youmaton is the member Canberra both needs and deserves.
