Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor said the new Federal ministry would strengthen and energise the Coalition’s performance ahead of the next Federal election.

“The Coalition will be strong and united heading into an election year. It’s what our supporters want and what the broader electorate expects of government,” Mr Taylor said.

“I look forward to spreading the message about the growth opportunities emerging from our transitioning economy. I am particularly excited about the free trade agreements and the potential they bring for regional Australia and my electorate of Hume.

“This past week has seen big change in the Federal Coalition. Change is energising. As one of the newest members of parliament, I am committed to continuing to represent my electorate with energy and enthusiasm.”
