Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor has outlined his achievements for the Wollondilly and Wingecarribee areas in newsletters arriving in mailboxes.

Mr Taylor and the Coalition government are getting the job done - including the rolling out of NBN locally, more mobile phone coverage, infrastructure funding for the region’s roads and bridges, the filling of more than 400 jobs locally in 10 months through the jobactive programme and securing a $50 million Federal commitment to upgrade Appin Road.

“This newsletter was written before the devastating storm event.

“While the area has been rocked by the recent heavy rains and flooding, particularly Picton, the enormous community effort underway right now is testament to the strength of community spirit and the value placed on re-building our small businesses.

“I’m incredibly proud that a core part of my platform as the Member for Hume and this Government’s platform as we go into the election is to support and encourage more local business people to get on, invest, grow and employ,” Mr Taylor said. 

“The election is a choice between the Turnbull Coalition’s plan for a strong economy, with more jobs and opportunity, or Labor’s higher taxes, more waste and weak borders. Labor’s debt and dysfunction would undermine those opportunities and growth.”

The newsletter asks residents to complete a pre-election community survey and also includes:

* details on the $50million commitment to upgrade Appin Road

* the campaign for better mobile and internet coverage

* local infrastructure investment and community grant ‘wins’ and

* the Coalition’s strong plan for Hume.

Newsletters have been arriving in mailboxes over recent days.
