Russell Broadbent backs $20B Rural Australia Future Fund to boost health, childcare, and infrastructure projects
Independent MP Russell Broadbent welcomed the Coalition's $20 billion Rural Australia Future Fund, aimed at supporting rural health, childcare, and infrastructure projects. He emphasized the need for bipartisan support and local project funding.
Independent MP, Russell Broadbent, has warmly welcomed the Coalition's election commitment to establish a $20 billion Rural Australia Future Fund. Mr Broadbent said it was high time an initiative like this was implemented and hoped that it would receive bipartisan support.
The Rural Australia Future Fund would support local health, childcare, and infrastructure projects like Warragul Hospital planning and road repairs
Mr Broadbent said, "This a great initiative because rural and regional communities so often missed out on project funding at the expense of metropolitan areas." If established, the Rural Australia Future Fund would be used for health, childcare, and infrastructure projects.
"This Fund could be used to kickstart local projects such as the planning and design phase of the proposed Warragul and District Hospital, urgently needed sewerage works associated with the Fish Creek Football and Netball Club redevelopment, and urgently needed local road repairs and upgrades. As your true independent, I support parties and policies that offer what's best for Monash," Mr Broadbent said.
