Lesley Pyecroft
Nationals for Lyons
I’m standing as a Tasmanian Nationals candidate for Lyons, because they are offering a genuine alternative to the major parties here in Tasmania.
The message is simple, with record State debt it’s time to balance the budget, bench the stadium that Tasmania cannot afford and get back to fixing the basics. This includes health and education, looking after regional communities big and small.
We need to stop reckless promise and spending, remain community minded and support small business and local industries, which keep jobs in Tasmania.
I have been a frontline nurse with 44 years of experience and an Army veteran with 23 years service. I have seen the cracks in the Tasmania Health system firsthand, staff shortages, under resourced facilities and growing pressure on essential services.
I am an active volunteer in the local community as both of wildlife carer and foster carer for Just Cats, along with being an AUSMAT volunteer providing international humanitarian aid response as Registered Nurse and midwife. I am also a member of Mates for Mates and Australian Light Horse Association.
I have strong passion for agriculture, breeding meat sheep and being an active farming member of Tasmanian Women in Agriculture.
With strong roots in rural life and a lifetime in public service, I bring real life experience, and I am ready to standup and be the voice for practical solutions and a fair go for all Tasmanians.
“I will stand up for the wants and needs of everyone across Lyons.”
The Tasmanian Nationals will
Support regional communities and end the drift of services to the cities.
Support the state’s agriculture, forestry, fishing, salmon and mining industries and their workers and the communities that rely on them.
Support small business and reward private enterprise.
Support locally trained Tasmanian based nurses and doctors
Support effective initiatives to lift Tasmania’s education results, particularly in regional areas.
Support a Tasmanian-based AFL and AFLW team but not at any cost, it’s time to bench the stadium, rethink and renegotiate the deal with the AFL.
