Nationals leader David Littleproud and Deputy Leader Senator Perin Davey visited the Cowper electorate recently as part of a ‘Regional Listening Tour’ which is focused on seeing National Party Leaders touring through Regional Australia to hear from voters with real issues, facing real challenges and needing real solutions.
Mr Littleproud expressed his focus on tangible solutions, particularly for the growing number of young families who have flocked to the regions in recent years during and after the pandemic.
“I am determined to find practical solutions, not just for more affordable childcare (sic.) centres but more importantly, the availability of childcare in our regional centres for our working mums and dads,” he said.
“I know that finding available childcare centres is a real challenge for regional families and I want to hear from those who need help the most.”
Listening Events include Regional Women’s Breakfasts in both Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, Youth Forums at Charles Sturt University and Southern Cross University and Family & Community Centres in Kempsey and Nambucca.
