The United Australia Party candidate for Calare, Mr Jannis, if elected, says he'll strive to ensure the electorate sees improved roads, better communication and mobile networks and crucial boosts to both the health and education sectors.
What do you do professionally outside of politics?
I'm a health and fitness coach of the last 10-12 years. Before that I grew up and worked in the family fish and chip shop in Wellington.
How long have you lived in Calare?
Born and raised.
Why have you chosen to run for election?
From the governments abysmal handling of the last two years, the ineffective lock down measures that disrupted Australia wide supply chains, the mandates that caused staffing shortages in all of our critical sectors (nurses, teachers, etc.), to the complete lack of proper health advice that could've made Australia much more resilient to COVID-19 and other health problems.
Instead of confining people to their homes, depriving them of fresh air, exercise and direct sunlight, the government should have made recommendations to increase exercise outdoors in order to maximise vitamin-D absorption to improve the public's metabolic and immune health, as well as provide enhanced guidelines on nutrition to bolster people's innate immune system strength.
This would've also helped prevent the worst of the mental health crisis created by the government's lock downs.
What sparked your first interest in politics?
I've been interested in politics for a long time, ever since I realised decisions made by politicians and bureaucrats negatively impact my life and the lives of the people I care about. The last two years has demonstrated the level of incompetence in many of the decision makers who run our country.
Who are your political heroes?
I don't have any political heroes, I just like politicians who keep the ship of state sailing smoothly, without interfering in the lives of everyday people, families and small businesses.
When the government gets too involved in people's lives, things go pear-shaped.
I want people to have the maximum level of freedom to make their own decisions, using their own intelligence, in accordance with their own principles and values. I don't want 'Big Brother' from the book '1984'.
What are the biggest issues/policies you're running on this election campaign?
- Protecting Australian's freedoms with Australia's own Bill of Rights.
- Ending the mandates and the governments digital ID surveillance Bill.
- Bringing back $1 trillion of Australian overseas Super to invest in Australia.
- Process and manufacture what we mine in this country at home, to make Australia a value-adding nation again, which will bring back thousands of high paying long term jobs to the Australian economy.
What does Calare need transitioning out of COVID?
- Better roads.
- 20 per cent tax break for regional areas.
- More investment in health and education.
- Better communication and mobile networks.
- Less government interference in our personal lives.
Do you think Calare will vote on local candidates or party leaders?
I hope people vote for the candidate and not just the party/party leaders. It's the individual candidate who's going to know the issues that matter to them and represent them in parliament.
I'm going to represent the people of Calare when I get to Canberra with good old fashioned common sense.
What gives you hope running in such a safe seat?
I'm a past Nationals voter. The Nationals were always the common sense party for regional Australia.
The Nationals party has changed, the same way all of the parties have changed in recent years. None of them represent their traditional bases any more, they're all following overseas governing trends instead of being responsive to the voters who elected them.
The government won the last election on opposing Net-Zero 2050 which was a Labor/Greens policy. The coalition got in government and adopted Net-Zero 2050 anyway. I don't trust them to do anything for us out here in the sticks anymore, and Labor would be even worse.
We need a common sense party for the people of regional NSW, and that's what the United Australia Party is.
People are ready for a real change, and I think they'll show that at the ballot box.
