00:00What are the most important issues for you this federal election?
00:07The prices of living. I'm only on settling payments and I struggle.
00:13Any bonuses that can come in for small business and to get people out spending money again
00:16would be what we're looking for.
00:17Domestic violence, something has to be done.
00:20I don't know much about it and I don't want to get involved. It's just so scary to think
00:23about.
00:25Definitely youth crime. There's got to be repercussions.
00:29They said they were going to help with housing. People are still living in crowded houses.
00:36Not having a paved road contributes to keeping people in poverty because the road eats car
00:41tyres, it eats the suspension.
00:43Do you know who you'll be voting for yet at the election?
00:46Yeah, I think I know, but then I cannot say.
00:52Independence, yeah.
00:54I'm still not sure at the moment, not 100%.
00:57I think they don't do a better job.
00:59I do have preference. One person I don't regard very highly.
01:06I'm undecided to tell you the truth.
01:09Is Peter Costello running?
01:13Peter Costello's not running, no.
01:15No, well I'd barrack for him if he was.
01:18Wouldn't know. I'll figure it out when it gets a bit closer. I'm pretty easy. I'm a happy man anyway.
