Scott Morrison likes to have the red-carpet rolled out for him when he visits the Hunter region, because for him it\u2019s always about the photo-op and never the follow-up.
\nThe people of the Hunter region want and deserve real leadership. They want solutions, not more spin, scams and so called \u2018plans\u2019 that go nowhere.
\nBut from this Prime Minister, that\u2019s all they get.
\nWhether it\u2019s local jobs, essential healthcare services, or critical infrastructure projects, the Hunter has been forgotten by the Morrison-Joyce Government.
\nIf Scott Morrison was any friend of the Hunter, here\u2019s what he would do today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Work collaboratively with the NSW Government to allow the Port of Newcastle to realise its full potential;<\/li>\n
  2. Put an end to the threat of oil and gas drilling off our coastline posed by PEP-11 once and for all;<\/li>\n
  3. Save our GP Access After Hours service – with proper funding and resources to ensure the sustainability of this essential healthcare service in our region;<\/li>\n
  4. Apologise for stuffing up the vaccine rollout leading to the NSW Liberal National Government stealing our vaccines;<\/li>\n
  5. Provide the skills and infrastructure needed to develop hydrogen production and export;<\/li>\n
  6. And accelerate investment in crucial road infrastructure projects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No more empty talk Mr Morrison. It\u2019s time to deliver.
    \nAny failure to do so, will be a very heavy burden for the Hunter region\u2019s social and economic prosperity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
