Shorten addresses 400 at Country Club

Labor Leader Mr Bill Shorten visited the Everglades Country Club on May 20 and addressed a crowd of 400.

Mr Shorten fielded questions for 90 minutes, according to Labor candidate for Robertson, Ms Anne Charlton.

He laid out Labor's plan to protect Medicare, restore fairness to the tax system, address housing affordability, and reverse the Liberal's funding cuts to hospitals and schools, she said.

"It's not class war to choose to fund our schools before giving a tax cut to billion dollar businesses," Mr Shorten said.

Mr Shorten promised $1.1 million to upgrade the Woy Woy Rd intersection with Langford Dr at Kariong.

This would make good on Liberal MP Ms Lucy Wick's broken promise at the 2013 election to fix the black spot, said Ms Charlton.

Mr Shorten supported the push to move the waterfront location of the proposed Gosford ATO office to the heart of Gosford's CBD.

"The CBD is where the new ATO office can best help support our local businesses and create new jobs," Ms Charlton told the audience.

"I will leave no stone unturned in examining what the local Liberals have already stitched up and what can be done to deliver this precinct for our community," she said.
