Legends - volunteers for March 13, handing out how to vote for me. Thank you. Most worked alone and readily shifted to other polling booths when asked. Renee had a damaged arm, was asked at the midnight hour, and came through. Aiden had no idea about Aussie politics yet gave his time and Irish lilt, willingly. Thankyou. Thankyou Thankyou. Barbara gave time when asked at the last minute. Thankyou Thankyou. Cousins Laurel and Sharon, you two rock. Ursula and Lynnie, rocked at the EVC and booth day. When misinformed that they could not use toilet were prepared to remove their tshirt and go in their bras! Christine and Sue came through and got into the groove at their booth. And rocked on later at the Rose Hotel. Met my first Groodle dog and Cue Primary School vinka (gift from a friend) gave first bloom. Solid Mike, MW branch member, singlehandedly lent both hands! . Lee Thankyou for “undercover”work in the hills. To all, thank you. Cousin Brett Thankyou for your uke songs from Hollywood Hospital. And Carmen on base guitar. Helen, Thankyou. You did it. Thank you Jo. Aiden said a great handover to him. Thankyou Carol and Russell. Thankyou Lee and brother Billy and Mary. Thankyou Matt. All worked in the yellow surrounded by teams of red and blue. They shone brightly. James and Lee Thankyou for your media work. Phil for keeping me sane and working tirelessly every day. The old cottage about to get a clean up. HQ 101. Huge shout out to amazing campaign team in Perth. I was raw, yet they treated me with great respect. Thankyou Lachie, Jack, Josh, Jay, Connor and Liza. Lastly I wish to thank Nationals WA leader Mia for her inspirational, rock steady, intelligent leadership. Mia, I hope will become the oppositional leader. If so, in this most extraordinary election (following the pandemic), Mia will be “the” iconic gain for all Western Australians.
