*Her speech is televised and live streamed, she is making sure this even is front page news for the campaign, inviting reporters and anyone is welcome to sit and watch.*Good afternoon everyone!

I am Smug Demoness, the Deputy Leader of the Social Democratic Party and Senator for the ACT and I would like to make my case for why the Electorate of Hotham should re-elect Trurl for Member of Parliament. I've been friends of Trurl through this era of parties rising and falling, the dominance of the Right in the Australian Government and the inability for governments to make decisive action in the wake of disasters and political infighting that leads to a paralysing affect on the Government, denying Australians of competent and good government, stability and certainty in these uncertain times, the Social Democratic Party recognises this and I have recognised this through my tenure as Senator and before, which is why we have created ourselves to be the new alternative, to bring stability and competency to Government. Which is why I humbly ask all peoples of this wonderful electorate of Hotham to vote for Trurl, he is passionate and bright, with him Hotham can stand tall and proud as an electorate that chose that enough was enough of unstable governments that did nothing to bring about better otucomes in services, wages and jobs. Together with the SDP, Hotham can see renewed investments into infrastructure and affordable housing, better wages and workers rights and more investments into regional Victoria. Trurl is a man of vision and holds a bright and prosperous Australia in his mind and he seeks to see that future become a reality for Australia. Because he is a man that understands that situation that we are in as a country and like the rest of the SDP, wants to out country to become better, fairer and prosperous.

Now, I'd like to open this up for the audience to come ask me some questions regarding our policies and plans for Australia. Please, raise your hands everyone! I Look around among the forest of arms raised and point to an older bloke Yes sir, what is your question?

"G'day, my question for you is what will the SDP do in order to make sure we are more prepared for another pandemic?"

Brilliant question, the SDP wishes to establish an Australian Biocrisis Agency as part of the Department of Health, along with preparing existing assets to be better prepared so we can mobilise our resources at a rapid rate in the event of another pandemic. The Biocrisis Agency itself we believe should oversee running the Emergency Medical Stockpile and be responsible with our national crisis logistics, the Pandemic has taught us that we need to pool our resources together so that we can much more easily coordinate a response on the event of a crisis. Anyone else?

A Middle aged lady stands up and says "Yes, Hi. My question is, what does the SDP wish to do with Energy? bills are becoming more expensive and we need a government that is able to respond, i am already straining my budget as is with how expensive everything has gotten!"

Wonderful question, the SDP wishes to use Green Energy in order to create an energy abundance whcih we can then export oversees. We will maintain a commitment to upholding the Clean Energy Act which prevents new coal projects from being built and thus, we will fully commit ourselves to the expansion and upgrading of new and existing green energy projects, including the build of Snowy 2.0! which will help create large amounts of green energy for the eastern states of Australia. To expand on this, the SDP will increase CSIRO funding back to the old Youma Governments level in order to maintain our edge in Green Energy technology! Now ladies and gentleman, that will have to be all the questions I have for today but I will end this with one more short speech about why you should vote for Trurl.

With Trurl elected here, we will be another step closer to a majority in the House of Representatives and with this majority we can pass major reforms that can help with cost of living, education, health and infrastructure investments. Because like many of the people here, the SDP is sick and tired of the same old game of politics that doesn't result in anything of substance happening and that is why the SDP brings itself to the Australian people as a New Alternative, to finally bring genuine reform to our public institutions and to strengthen them, to bring about a better society. So I ask the people of Hotham, to vote 1 for Trurl and the SDP, help us get a majority in the Parliament so we can bring about genuine reforms and improvements to the lives of every Australian, to improve Worker's Rights, to breaking the Price Gouging Monopolies and to make the wealthy pay their fair share of tax. Come on Australia and Hotham, give us and Trurl a fair go!!! Vote 1 For Trurl! Vote 1 for SDP! Thank you!
