Gippsland is one of the most diverse regions in Australia and our community is dispersed across 33,000 square kilometres. There are many larger electorates, but few can lay claim to the rich diversity and strategic importance of Gippsland to our nation's future prosperity.
Gippsland makes an enormous contribution to our nation through the all-important power industry, oil and gas sector, defence and a range of agricultural activities.
The East Sale RAAF base is an outstanding defence facility which performs a vital role in Gippsland and beyond. The electorate has a very proud history with the defence forces and I will be working hard to see the East Sale base extended if possible in the future.
