Well, Swan deserves better. Swan currently has a Labor member who is just not delivering on the ground, as Labor has destroyed living standards of families across Swan and put every small business in Swan under pressure—a Labor member who has not stood up for Western Australia and not said one word about this Labor government's attacks on the mining industry and the agriculture industry in the WA.

Let's compare that to our Liberal candidate, Mic Fels, who will stand up for Swan—a mechanical engineer with a background encompassing farming, manufacturing and technology. Mic understands what it takes to deliver. He'll be another great member, just like the last great member for Swan, Steve Irons, who delivered for his local electorate. Mic is a tireless worker for his local community, and he's got a track record to prove it. What we don't need in Swan is more of the same.
