Under this incompetent Albanese government, regional Australia is hurting. So at this election, it's time to turf Labor out. On the ground, The Nationals have some incredible candidates who are leading this fight. As our man in Calare, Sam Farraway—he's a lifelong resident of the Central West and a former small business owner—brings a proud track record of community service, and, as a former state government minister, he knows how to deliver. Sam's vision for Calare is about authentic leadership, cost-of-living relief, securing a reliable energy future that doesn't destroy the landscape and getting us back to basics.

In WA, we have Mia Davies running for the new seat of Bullwinkel. A former leader of the WA Nationals with more than 16 years of experience in the state parliament, Mia has a reputation for hard work and common sense. Quality access to education, health, child care and aged care is what drives her as our candidate in Bullwinkel. Over the next hundred days, the forgotten communities in the Perth Hills and outer suburbs have a chance to make history by electing Mia as their Nationals candidate.

In Bendigo, we have the amazing Andrew Lethlean. Born and raised in Bendigo, Andrew's a local champion who, with a 22-year career in hospitality, has the business experience to make a difference in Canberra. Andrew knows that, when it comes to funding for roads and local projects, this region's been left behind by Labor. As the next federal member, Andrew Lethlean has the passion and commitment to get Bendigo back on track.
