Incumbent electorate MP alpine- celebrated with Reform supporters and residents alike today at a BBQ in Opunake Beach.

"Opunake, I hope you're enjoying the tasty snags! I've invited you all hear today on such a beautiful day to celebrate what has been a great campaign for my re-election as your local MP.

The crowd cheers and applauds.

"I couldn't have done it without you! I don't want to be confident but the latest poll has me on 43%, a margin of 13% above the closest competition. I won't end my campaign on a negative note by going into the flaws of my competitors' attempts to dethrone me. Rather, I'd like to reflect on my time so far in Parliament serving for you - and maybe convince those of you that still aren't decided to support me tomorrow.

"Many of you will know my turbulent political career where I've tried to settle into parties that best fit my ideology and I believe also the ideology of my electorate. I was first elected under NZ First, but Waikato-Rangitikei confirmed they still had confidence in me despite changing to Labour. My new party, Reform, is somewhat an amalgamation of the two. That's why I am confident I still represent you guys well - and because Reform is projected to win 4 seats, I'll have even more leverage in coalition negotiations and in Parliament to make your issues a priority.

"In only the last term of Parliament, I've worked hard to get the best for you. My greatest achievement, I think, is preventing the Government from making some terrible mistakes. Whether that be preventing the Government from lowering the minimum wage, helping to throw out National’s Public Housing (Rent to Own) Bill, or criticising the inconsequential National Standards - I've protected the Whanganui electorate from a reckless Government. However, I've also tried to make positive change by arranging support on the Electorate Electoral Referendum Bill and the KiwiFund Bill, which will improve our democracy and our retirement savings.

alpine- takes a bite of a fresh snag.

"Mmm, delicious. Thanks Gary. Reform is excited to probably be in Government after the election because we're the first to acknowledge that there is always more to be done. We have a vision for a New Zealand made up of well educated, determined, healthy, and innovative people, with an expanding business programme geared around production, sustainability, R D, and regional development. However, this Government has allowed for immigrants to fill jobs instead of qualified and experienced Kiwis. For the hard-working employees of the Whanganui electorate, this simply isn't fair or right.

Applause interrupted her as she continued...

"I am proud to represent the beautiful Taranaki and King Country regions, which set the standard for global tourism destinations. Even here at the pristine Opunake Beach, I'm reminded about this electorate's booming tourism and hospitality industry. Unlike other parties, Reform will get the balance right by providing tax incentives to responsible and credible tourism agents, investigating environmental harm due to tourism (as well as sustainable solutions), and offering fees-free to new recruits in the industry.

"As the projected kingmaker in the election, we will be in a strong position to work hard for the Whanganui electorate and the nation as a whole. Reform wants stable growth for Kiwi businesses, and the infrastructure and support to make it work. Whichever way we go, we'll always decide in the best interests for New Zealanders. I think that makes your choice on the ballot paper tomorrow an easy one: Whanganui, Opunake, and New Zealand - two ticks Reform. Dig in!"

alpine- swallowed a snag whole.
