Courage tenacity and grit. This is what is needed by a rural MP to bridge the unfair advantage we face between the services of metropolitan electorates over the bush. With this in mind it is the perfect time for our newly elected NSW Nationals MP’s to stand up and make their move.
The Western Australian Nationals have shown the way. Tony Crook having recently toppled the long serving Wilson Tuckey has shown the advantage in breaking from the Liberals and standing up for the rights of the country. The WA Nationals are still allies to the Liberals but unlike their eastern states counterparts not tied to their apron strings and quite willing to stand up for what they believe in. Mr Crook has already stated he was willing to sit on the cross bench to force the issue to win concessions.
One Nation believes our eastern states Nationals should follow suit and make a break from the dominating Liberal Party. Stand up and fight for the rural areas they represent and win the much needed funding for infrastructure we so desperately need. If this were to happen they could force the governments hand on funding for our much needed hospitals, roads and the development of a new national water system.
The time for a move has never been better. Strike while the major parties are at their weakest and force a deal through. The sad fact is this will take courage and the willingness to fight tooth and nail on principle. Something I believe is lacking with some of those in the Nationals ranks who are quite happy to ride to power on the back of Liberal policy rather than do what is right for the bush.
