This year will certainly be busy in both our beautiful Hills Shire and in the Federal Parliament.

Federally, debate is again expected to focus on the Rudd Government’s plan to introduce an Emissions Trading Scheme, while the Government’s aim to introduce a mandatory internet filter will also be heavily scrutinised. I have already been contacted by numerous local residents concerned about the introduction of a mandatory filter.

I hope all residents of the electorate of Mitchell enjoy a positive and productive 2010 and I pass my best regards to those parents who have children about to attend school for the first time. I hope there aren’t too many tears at the school gate.

Thank you to all those who have commented or passed on suggestions or ideas to me throughout 2009. I look forward to working hard for our local community throughout 2010.

Regards,

Alex
