Master Builders Australia

A federal election advertising campaign targeting the Newcastle and Hunter Region is being launched today in Newcastle by Master Builders Australia.

" The next Federal Government will be in charge of completing economic recovery from COVID. We need them to have a detailed plan to ensure the building and construction in the Newcastle and Hunter Region can continue driving economic, jobs and work for local construction businesses," Denita Wawn said.

We need voters in Hunter, Newcastle and Paterson federal electorates to back the political party with the best policy to expand home ownership. People are moving to the region in droves to realise their dream of new home ownership. Many others are right-sizing and moving to new apartments in the region," she said.

"Home ownership brings with it huge benefits to the local economy, individuals and families, we are calling on people to back it with their votes at this election," Denita Wawn said.

"The advertising campaign will also be telling Labor to keep the construction industry watchdog so that the economic recovery is not put at risk,"

"The construction and civil construction sectors are also witnessing strong activity in the Hunter, Newcastle and Paterson electorates which is a strong indicator of economic growth in the region. Voters in want that to continue not for militant unions and rogue union leaders to put it risk,"
