| Democracy |

| • |
Responsibility, fairness, openness and accountability in all Government business - asking the difficult questions in Parliament. |
| • |
More public input into the decisions that affect you. |
| Services |

Fixing health, education and aged care in our community. |
| • |
Ending HomesWest's 4-year waiting lists and providing decent, liveable public housing for those who need it. |
| • |
Providing a public transport network for the people, not for the bureaucrats. |
| • |
Improving community safety and police presence. |
| • |
Encouraging and supporting the role of the Ombudsman and other agencies of review such as Fair Trading and Health. |
| • |
Providing access to high-speed Internet and reliable telephone services at a fair price for our community. |
| Principles |
| • |
Fair, equitable and reasonable industrial laws that give workers job security and protect their rights and conditions, and give businesses the ability to operate profitably and plan effectively within a fair system with predictable outcomes. |
| • |
Decision-making and planning which takes the environment and community health into account - the government must be accountable to the people and not engage in "buck-passing". |
| • |
An equitable and fair approach to human rights issues. |
| • |
A strong and principled stand against child abuse. |
Andrew will also be active in using his office to lobby the Federal Government on key issues affecting our community, and to represent and advocate for the community.
