Milton CAINE – Independent Candidate

 

2023 NSW STATE ELECTION – LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (Upper House)

 

(BOX T, below the line, on large ballot paper)

 

Milton is married with 4 adult children, has lived in Birmingham Gardens for over 30 years and is very familiar with many of the real concerns facing the people of NSW.

• As a person with a strong Christian faith, for over 50 years, Milton has tried to apply his Christianity to deliver compassionate care to people in need.

 

• Milton’s chosen work as a taxi driver doing wheelchair work enables him to help people who are often marginalised in their communities.

 

• He is strongly committed to protecting life from conception to # old age, therefore the delivery of healthcare must be to “do no harm”. There are so many issues in society that could be corrected with the application of Judeo-Christian values including the respect for all peoples, adequate care for the less well off, curtailing of excessive profits, the environment, restorative justice, protection from domestic violence and eruptive behaviours that often lead to violence, and so much more.

 

• Milton believes that the community should expect the government to be responsible to protect them and to provide an environment of freedom and safety in which all will be able to find safe housing and meaningful work. He was extremely concerned that the community experienced fear, either intentional or unintentional, during the government’s Covid19 responses – GOVERNMENTS SHOULD PROVIDE REASSURANCE AND CONFIDENCE THAT IT HAS A CLEAR PATH FORWARD. 

 

• As Milton sees it, the governments of the last several decades have increasingly failed to provide the safety or the environment to enable affordable housing and meaningful work for all, and he believes he has the ideas that will lead to far better outcomes than are currently experienced.

 

• He believes that governments of recent decades have permitted the development of towns and housing estates on vulnerable flood plains and as a result many people face the potential distress of flood destruction and damage.

 

• Growing up on a large farm with 100s of acres of natural bushland, Milton understands that intentional actions that must be taken to protect one’s assets from bushfire damage. Milton notes that governments have prevented many practical things to enable effective firefighting, lessening the heat in bushfires.

 

• The wisdom of former visionaries like Bradfield is understood by Milton; Bradfield’s plan to connect dams so water could be moved from a potential high flood risk area to a drought prone area ought to have been implemented. As well, off river dams to capture excess river flows would keep our rivers alive and flowing, reduce flooding risks and assist in irrigation of larger areas of potential farming areas.

 

• Milton desires to prevent the theft of the water in the northern reaches of the Darling River to enable all of the river catchment to benefit from the mighty Darling.

 

• Trading in water rights must be carefully examined with the view to preventing ownership of water being used to virtually blackmail the farming community dependent on our river valleys.

 

• The sale of Australian assets and businesses to foreign governments or businesses is totally appalling and Milton would seek to find a way to return Australian ownership to as many of these assets as possible.

 

• The government in the first instance must always seek to find an Australian owned business employing Australians in Australia to be the supplier of goods and services that the government seeks to obtain.

 

• Milton is appalled that John Holland, a former successful Australian construction business that was created in 1949 by John Holland’s family building many sensitive pieces of infrastructure in Australia, including in NSW, is currently in the hands of the CCP via China Communications Constructions.

 

Milton wants the community to know the truth of all of these things, to see how disloyal the various governments over past several decades. He wants to correct as much as possible by being in the NSW Legislative Council, and to make sure that any assets we need are built here in NSW by Australian businesses.

Milton Caine is keen to explain the relationship between government and businesses that have contracts to supply community services like bus transport services, electricity services, railway maintenance services, land titles service, toll road services and many other services so that government and business work hand in glove to supply services to the citizens of New South Wales.

Robert SKILLIN – Independent Candidate

 

2023 NSW STATE ELECTION – LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (Upper House)

 

(BOX T, below the line, on large ballot paper)

 

Robert Skillin grew up in country NSW and has lived in various parts of Sydney in recent decades. He studied a social science degree in Welfare at Newcastle University and has been exposed to many of the ideologies that are currently impacting daily life. Rob has had working roles focusing mainly in Tertiary Education for over 10 years, and has also taught English abroad in Japan. These experiences have led Rob to develop deep concerns regarding the quality of services and education the public are receiving.

Besides education, Rob has served in community organisations, both in a voluntary and paid capacity and this has led to him serving, sharing and mixing with people from all walks of life and backgrounds. He is passionate about seeing people supported to be all that they can become.

Rob is strongly opposed to the highly questionable government leadership of recent years, and of the seemingly endless need for investigations into government representatives and government departments’ irregularities and wrong-doings. He would like to counter and oppose foreign influence in NSW, and see the return of accountability and integrity to the NSW Parliament.

Rob would like to offer the people of NSW a very genuine alternative to the poor standards of leadership we have become accustomed to. He is aiming to tackle issues that are pressing for NSW families and residents, such as effective and very necessary education reforms, housing affordability, better health delivery, and effective and reliable transport, as well as the ever-increasing divide between the ‘haves and the have nots’ without embracing proven failed ideologies that are at odds with family and cultural values.

It is time to stop the rot and launch NSW into a restored blessed future.
