Something strange is happening in the Hunter. This region built Australia. Coal, industry, hard work—that’s what made the Hunter what it is today. But now, thanks to Labor, it’s all under threat. And here’s the incredible part: the very people who claim to represent you are the ones selling you out. Dan Repacholi, Labor’s so-called “man of the people,” is standing by while his party dismantles the industry that put food on the table for generations.
Repacholi talks about his time in the mines, but what good is that if he’s now backing a government that’s actively working to shut them down? He’s pushing Labor’s Net Zero agenda, the same reckless policy that’s already sent electricity prices soaring and left thousands of families wondering if they can afford to heat their homes this winter. But don’t worry—Labor says the “transition” will be fine. Just ignore the job losses, the skyrocketing bills, and the foreign companies raking in billions from taxpayer-funded wind and solar farms.
Enter Sue Gilroy, the Nationals candidate who actually understands what’s happening. She’s not interested in the fake promises or the scripted talking points from Canberra. She’s a businesswoman, a nurse, a fighter for local industries. She knows that without affordable energy, without strong businesses, without real jobs, the Hunter is finished. Unlike Repacholi, she doesn’t pretend you can run a modern economy on government subsidies and good intentions.
And it’s not just about jobs. Under Labor, the cost of living is crushing people. Rents are through the roof, electricity is unaffordable, and inflation is eating away at wages. What’s Repacholi’s answer? More government, more taxes, more empty promises. But here’s the truth: Labor doesn’t care about working-class Australians anymore. They care about pleasing the inner-city activists, the climate bureaucrats, and the foreign investors who are cashing in on Australia’s energy crisis.
So, this election, you have a choice. Do you vote for a Labor politician who claims to be on your side while backing the policies that are destroying the Hunter? Or do you support Sue Gilroy, someone who actually believes in this region, fights for jobs, and refuses to let Labor run it into the ground? Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about politics—it’s about survival. And right now, the Hunter is in a fight for its future.
