NEW OPPOSITION LEADER, BUT SAME FOCUS ON NORTH COAST - NASH

North Coast Nationals Senator, Fiona Nash said that while the leadership of the Liberal Party was a matter for her Coalition partners, new federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull was somebody she ‘could do business with’. “From a North Coast perspective, Malcolm would be aware of many of the local issues from his wife Lucy’s time as a Tweed Shire Council administrator,” Senator Nash said. “In his first speech as Liberal Leader he emphasised fairness and opportunity, and from our perspective as Nationals, that means a fair share of funding and opportunities for non metropolitan areas like the North Coast.” Senator Nash said the change of leadership was unlikely to change the opposition’s policies insofar as they affect the North Coast. “Chief among those is getting a fair deal for the North Coast’s many struggling seniors, and holding Labor MPs Justine Elliot and Janelle Saffin to their election promises last year that ‘Kevin Rudd will fix our hospitals’,” Senator Nash said.
