My pledge to you...
I’ve lived in Bonner for over 50 years, and my wife and I are happy to be raising our two sons here – it’s a great community.
But over the past three years, the Labor Government in Canberra has let us down with their cost of living crisis. Our community deserves better.
Before becoming your local MP, I studied commerce at Griffith University and ran a chain of successful restaurants.
I understand small business – Labor’s red tape and taxes makes it so much harder to create local jobs.
I never set out to be a politician - what drives me is working in our local community to secure the services and facilities that we need.
My pledge to you is simple - I will keep fighting for us right here in Bonner. And I pledge to work tirelessly to do whatever I can to get Australia back on track.
I’m asking for your support.
All the best,
Ross Vasta
