Telecommunications
The NSW Nationals in Government have invested heavily in improving regional telecommunications, which in conjunction with more Federal Government and private sector investment has reduced the number of mobile phone blackspots.
Energy
People living in regional, rural, and remote areas deserve access to cheaper, more reliable, and cleaner energy.
Housing
The NSW Nationals believe affordable housing is important for people living and working in regional, rural, and remote areas.
Aboriginal Affairs
The NSW Nationals acknowledge Indigenous Australians as the traditional custodians of our land and work to give them an effective voice in Parliament.
Health
It is vital regional people have access to health services – ranging from nursing posts in remote areas to a doctor in a regional town, to specialists in major regional centres.
Education and Training
The NSW Nationals value investing in improved education outcomes from childcare level right through schooling to vocational and tertiary learning.
Transport
The NSW Nationals want to keep NSW moving and to do that we need roads, rail, and ports – both air and sea – to continually improve.
Resources sector
Many regional communities are built around resources – fishing, forestry and mining are just a few of the industries providing vital jobs outside of the cities.
Primary industries
The NSW Nationals have always had a focus on agriculture, a sector worth more than $8 billion to our economy each year. But our support does not stop at farmers, pastoralists, and horticulturalists.
Tourism
New South Wales is blessed with contrasting and diverse landscapes, from alpine wilderness to seaside beauty, rainforests, and bushland.
