Cr. Paul Barker

I want council to focus on the basics, that’s why I’m running with the Back to Basics team. Community satisfaction with Council is less than 50%. Nobody has opposed the direction of Council more than me. If you want to see real change vote for me and my team. As a Libertarian I’m committed to reducing the amount of money government takes off you and what it does take is used wisely. My private business and elected roles have shown me that short-term popular goals result in long-term pain. I’ve spoken with many people in our community, most you could call the silent majority who just want to be left alone.
With the Back to Basics team we can achieve that by prioritising roads and infrastructure maintenance, treating everyone equally, stopping Council being used by activist groups, supporting the celebration of Christmas and Australia Day and supporting women-only spaces. These policies of ours and a range of others can be found on social media, search for Surf Coast Back to Basics for more info. It’s time for you to think about what direction you want Council to go, more of the same or Back to Basics.
