Gary Coombes – Family First Party I am married to Daniele and we have a son, Eden, who is completing his Year 12 VCE. I am employed as an electronic technician in Bayswater. Daniele and myself lived in Spain for 10 years, and for five years during this time we both worked in youth drug rehabilitation, where my desire to make a difference within communities began. Also travelling the width and length of Africa over 18 months. The economy would have to be the biggest issue in the electorate – small business is the backbone of this country and need to be supported as much as possible by government, with less red tape, and regulations as possible. Healthy small businesses mean a strong economy and a strong economy means employment. The carbon tax (ETS) needs to be repealed as the cost burden this has placed not only on the family unit but also on the business community has been unacceptable. There is also a need for greater creation and focus on youth apprenticeships and traineeships. People know me as a man of my word, and a man of integrity, I have always been and always will be.
