The State of Country and Chifley Federal Election 2016 So Far & Congratulations to Ed Husic!

Re-elected member of Chifley Federal Seat, Ed Husic has romped homing with more surging votes, since last reported, on 2 party preferred and still without Pre-poll and Postal voting.

I would like to  congratulate Ed Husic, who has really placed Mount Druitt and surrounding suburbs in a good map, by using social  media like his website, Face Book page and gets the invitation to talk to the TV media. I can can he is not shy of the TV media and  he is the only person  in our area that gets recognised by this media. 

He is not a shadow cabinet minister and yet he is performing as a leader for the future in our country. Maybe something he is not expecting, pending his ambitions.

Ed Husic, Australian Labor Party has won so far with a majority of 69.92% (52,516) of the formal polled vote (75,149) with Mohit Khan, Liberal Party 30.08% (22,588) of the formal polled vote. (from the AEC website)

I hope that Ed focuses on Federal issues as well as keep help State issues. My comment made to a Mount Druitt-St Marys Standard Face Book Page post:
Heading- Ed Husic wins Chifley, with an even bigger margin. How he is promising a unified voice for western Sydney after Labor cleans up across the region. What are the issues they should fight for?


My Comments:
Mostly Ed has backed a lot of State issues - and that is good! It expands his voice on behalf of us being heard! I think he just keeps on going at every media he can and then plans to get industry and business in the area to reduce unemployment. Plan with State Members and Local Blacktown City Councillors: how Federal Government Funding can assist roads improvement, brightening up of Dawson Mall, more policing, Mount Druitt hospital necessary improvements, improvements in expansion and promotion of public transport, with lack of buses early in morning weekends and late at nights. Look at a Botanical garden near/at the Hub of Mount Druitt or nearby parks/reserves, look at public housing and ensure there are housing housing the right amount of tenants. Create something interesting in the area that brings tourists into the area. Job creation schemes through a TAFE courses assistance that will link to employers that will provide full assistance to any unemployed person. Federal funding to Assist Meca Mt Druitt, Vinnies Vans, Ignite Food Store & Op Shop Emerton, PCYC Food give-aways and all other charities helping the poor and needed.

On the Federal front both  Federal Leaders have done pretty well to hang into Leadership of Australian Federal government. Who ever wins will have a difficult road to drive until next election and there could even be another Federal early election prior to the next 3 years. At present ( from AEC website) the House of Representatives standings are:
Liberal/National              70 seats
Australian Labor Party    71 seats
The Greens                        1 seat
Kater's Australian Party    1 seat
Nick Xenophon Team       1  seat
Independents                     2  seats
In Doubt                            4  seats 

We will provide further updates as it comes. This is one of the reasons why I will never run for any elections, although I have been asked in the past.
