Serena Copley announced as Liberal’s pick for Kiama
Liberal candidate for Kiama, Serena Copley, has asked locals to consider whether they are better off after two years of the NSW Labor Government, pledging to fight for the region’s fair share of infrastructure funding and greater investment in essential services.
Four generations of Serena’s family have lived in the Shoalhaven for decades, including her grandson, Jackson. That’s why she’s determined to protect the South Coast’s unique lifestyle and create opportunities for the local community.
“Since Labor came to government, we’ve seen investment in local roads cut, less reliable train services and a reduction in the quality of healthcare,” Ms Copley said.
“The Liberal Party has a strong record of investing in Kiama, and it’s important when people ask themselves who’s best to represent them, they look at who has backed our local community. Now is not the time to reward Labor for their cuts and neglect of Kiama.”
Serena has a strong record of fighting for Kiama and championing the needs of the South Coast community - on the Shoalhaven City Council Serena worked on delivering high-quality services and investment in important local infrastructure like roads. Regional Training Manager with a Registered Training Organisation, Serena helps local businesses to upskill employees through traineeships and place young unemployed people into work.
“As a former councillor, as a volunteer and as someone who is invested in ensuring local jobs and opportunities for people of all ages, I’ve always believed in stepping up to the challenge. I am under no illusion how hard this contest will be, but I’m in it to win and to give the people of Kiama a strong and effective voice in the NSW Parliament.”
“However you look at it, Labor have failed to deliver for Kiama. They don’t understand regional NSW and unfortunately it is local families, households and small businesses that are paying the price,” Ms Copley said.
“Families have seen cost-of-living support like Active Kids cut and Back to School vouchers scrapped, seniors have lost the Senior’s Regional Travel Card, our trains are slower and less reliable and we’re all seeing firsthand the impact of Labor’s cuts to health and hospital funding.”
“Labor shouldn’t be rewarded after they have left so many worse off, that’s why I’m asking people to support me and to back in the Liberal team that has a strong record of delivering for Kiama.”
