Nine years ago I made a pledge that I would work hard for the people of Fisher. I promised to fight for our community and to make Fisher the best place to learn, earn and retire. Every day since then I've done just that, securing nearly $7.2 billion in federal funding for the infrastructure, services and opportunities that my community deserve. I've worked hard to build better roads and rail, to boost mental health services and outcomes and to back small business, especially local manufacturers. At the same time, I've fought to protect Australians and secure our future against vested interests and grave threats, both at home and abroad.

For three years Australians have suffered crisis after crisis, thanks to the Albanese Labor government and their teal and green allies, from antisemitism and the cost of living to housing and national security. The country has paid a heavy price for this Prime Minister's broken promises and the reckless political games of the Greens and the teals. We cannot afford three more years of going down the same path, but we don't have to. The coalition has a positive nation-building plan to get the country back on track, and that is under the strong leadership of Peter Dutton. Peter Dutton will restore what this country holds dear—that is, faith and belief in itself.
