Senator Rennick Brings People First Message to Ingham

Senator Gerard Rennick from People First Party was in Ingham last Thursday to get the word out about what his party is all about.

He said that peoples main concern was the direction is heading in.

“They feel as though the Australian or the major parties aren't putting Australians first. They're putting foreign interests first,” he explained.

“They're looking for parties who have solutions and can actually provide some vision and direction, vision in where they want the country to be, and that is ultimately a country that can stand on its own two feet to be prosperous, and make sure that our children get the same opportunities their forefathers gave to us.”

Senator Rennick said that the people’s concerns align with his parties policies entirely.

“We want to protect the individual and the families,” he said.

“We want to lower taxes. We want smaller government. We want to give greater choice in childcare and superannuation, and we want the government to get back to doing those big macro things like building infrastructure and funding it domestically in order to make sure we keep the wealth here.”

Describing their party's approach, the Senator Rennick said, "Our point of difference is that we are solutions-focused, but we also want to be very professional and polished and measured in how we go about dealing with our colleagues in Canberra.”

“We need to adopt a collaborative approach that we can influence outcomes, rather than a combative approach.

“We want to be a different minor party. We want to be collaborative. We want to be progressive. We want to have solutions, rather than complain about the problems.”

With a background including a Masters of Tax Law, a Bachelor of Commerce, and a Masters of Applied Finance, the candidate said they are well-prepared to address the economic challenges Australia faces.

The candidate also advocated for lower immigration, the removal of renewable energy subsidies, the establishment of an independent judicial commission, and stronger protections for whistleblowers.
