Regional Victorians showed strong support for Nationals as local voice for Parliament in 2022 election
Regional Victorians showed their support for The Nationals, the only party representing regional Victoria, helping the communities to be more liveable and sustainable.
This election has shown that regional Victorians are looking for a strong, local voice to represent them in Parliament. Someone who knows what makes our smaller communities tick, and who will hold the government to account as it continues to overlook our rural and regional communities. The voters of Shepparton, Morwell and Mildura sent a clear message to the independents that previously represented them that it was time for a change.
The Nationals represent people who live and work in regional Victoria, it is the only party solely representing regional Victoria, it is our core focus and it should be a focus of the government
Aiming for better Victoria
And the communities of our incumbent MPs once again renewed their support of a party prioritising people living outside of the city. The Nationals have deep roots in our country communities and a long history of strong advocacy for all regional Victorians. Our grassroots campaigns, led by candidates who are fierce advocates for their regions, brought the issues regional Victoria faces to the fore.
And regional Victorians chose to support a party that would lower their cost of living, address our crumbling roads, fix Victoria's health crisis and deliver agricultural innovation for Victoria, among myriad other things.
Doing more for regional Victoria
Labor said they're doing what matters, and we're here to ensure they're doing it for all Victorians, and not just the inner-city. The Nationals now cover Victoria from border to border. We will ensure the Labor government knows it must do more for regional Victoria.
The Nationals is the only party solely representing regional Victoria, it is our core focus and it should be a focus for the Labor government. We have a great team that will work together to make sure regional Victoria has a very loud, very proud, very strong voice in Parliament.
