MP Jason Falinski pens open letter to constituents outlining his plans for Mackellar
Recently re-elected Mackellar MP Jason Falinski has penned an open letter to his constituents. In it he has thanked them for their support and sounded out his priorities for the area going forward.
Thank you for the faith you have showed in me.
Regardless of whether you voted for me or not, I will be your voice in parliament.
Over the coming three years, I will fight for lower taxes, secure retirement and improving your lifestyle especially protecting the future of our oceans and planet.
I believe that your money is better in your pockets and not in the hands of bureaucrats living in the Canberra bubble. This is why I will always argue for lower taxes.
An effective government puts people first, doesn’t need to tax you more to deliver more for you.
In Mackellar we are not without our challenges and our great lifestyle must not only be preserved but I will continue to work to see it improved.
I will fight for improved public transport on the northern beaches so that after work you can spend less time travelling and more time at home with your family.
In addition to the B-Line to Wynyard we must push ahead in getting the same sort of rapid transport system to Chatswood and Macquarie Park.
I will continue to advocate for the Beaches Link tunnel to be built cutting out 40 sets of traffic lights and reducing travelling time.
Across the electorate, the NBN rollout is progressing well. In September 2013 there were only six homes connected to the NBN in Mackellar and as of earlier this year there were nearly 40,000 premises ready for service.
Every home in Mackellar will have the NBN available to them by the end of 2020.
Protecting our beautiful environment is also a top priority for me. I will advocate against any seismic testing off the coast of the Northern Beaches and continue to fight for the protection of our marine parks.
I will also advocate for strong action on climate change, both here and abroad.
There are always unforeseen challenges in government and as they arise I will face them head on.
I promised that if you were my voice on the May 18, I would be yours for the next three years.
