Firstly, I want you to know who I am and the experiences that have shaped me.
Curtin is my home. I received my education at Scotch College and UWA, and this is where I have my deepest personal connections. I live in Swanbourne and you’ll find me down at the beach most mornings as the sun rises.
My family background was business. Both Mum and Dad ran small businesses. I started working as soon as I could legally,and mopped the floors at a deli when I was 14 for $6 an hour.
After my first shift I walked home with $36 in a zip-loc bag, and I learned the value of a dollar by making that walk hundreds of times. So, it’s natural that a business-focused home would pull me in that direction.
I became fascinated by how digital technology was changing big and small businesses. So, when Uber came to WA, I applied for a job with them. Eventually they accepted me and I advanced to become Uber’s first General Manager in Perth. The business was hotly contested by private transport operators. But, increasingly tech-savvy customers welcomed
it.
Uber’s success in Perth led to my quick promotion. I managed both Western Australia and South Australia. Then, I worked in leadership roles in Vietnam, Tokyo, and finally Seoul.
Seoul was very challenging but rewarding and fulfilling. I also focused on personal growth. I earned an MBA from the University of Chicago and now I’m pursuing a second master’s in the ethics of artificial intelligence at Cambridge.
However, the Liberals’ loss of Curtin in 2022 drew me back.
I was increasingly worried that my country, state and home – Curtin – risks falling victim to a political hoax.
Albanese Labor is bad enough. They’ve discovered how easy it is to splurge other people’s money on damaging schemes that undermine the real economy. They need reminding that there’s only one way to generate wealth and improve living standards. That is by creating an environment that allows businesses to grow and employ people. But at the moment all
that’s growing is the size of the bureaucracy in Canberra. And of course the national debt.
Worse, though, are the Greens, Teals, and other minor parties.
They will never have to lead or govern and they don’t seem to understand how the real economy works. Unburdened by responsibility, they pursue policies that defy logic. Sadly, these policies would harm honest, hard-working men and women in our community already struggling to pay the bills.
In quiet moments, these people have confided in me with stories about the pressure piling up in their lives. I want to help them.
For their benefit, our country must change the path it is on.
Here’s the truth: the next government will be led by Labor or the Liberal Party. I believe it should be led by a Liberal Party focused on fundamentals and offering practical solutions to the real challenges confronting us. That is why I have set aside my career in business and put my name forward. I
have experience in dynamic economies. I can see Australia’s problems clearly. I can also see what is needed to put the next generation of Australians on the path to a strong and secure future.
To those of you reading this who are taking risks of your own to build that future, I want you to know I’m on your side. I am not here to indulge in unrealistic and irrelevant ideological fantasies. I will measure my success in politics by how I help you and your family prosper.
To do that, we need a government that understands reality.
This is true for the economy and national security. It is also true for cheaper, reliable electricity. And for affordable housing, a clean environment, and being able to help those in need.
My future regular messages to you in The Post will focus on these specific realities. Why? Because you can’t escape reality.
No matter what Labor and their Teal and Green enablers in parliament imagine.
Uber 在珀斯的成功让我迅速晋升。我同时管理 西澳大利亚州和南澳大利亚州。然后，我 在越南、东京和首尔担任领导职务。
首尔的工作非常具有挑战性，但也很有意义和成就感。我还注重个人成长。我在芝加哥大学获得了工商管理硕士学位，现在正在剑桥大学攻读人工智能伦理学的第二个硕士学位。
然而，自由党在 2022 年失去了科廷，这让我又回到了这里。
我越来越担心，我的国家、州和家–科廷–有可能成为政治骗局的牺牲品。
阿尔巴内斯工党已经够糟了。他们已经发现，把别人的钱花在破坏实体经济的破坏性计划上是多么容易。需要提醒他们的是，只有一种方法可以创造财富，提高生活水平。那就是创造一个有利于企业发展和雇佣员工的环境。但目前
增长的只是堪培拉官僚机构的规模。当然还有国债。
更糟糕的是绿党、绿党和其他小党派。
他们永远不需要领导或治理国家，而且他们似乎并不了解实体经济是如何运作的。他们没有责任感，推行的政策违反逻辑。可悲的是，这些政策将损害我们社会中已经在为支付账单而挣扎的诚实、勤劳的男男女女。
在安静的时刻，这些人向我倾诉了 他们生活中堆积如山的压力。我想 帮助他们。
为了她们的利益，我们的国家必须改变目前所走的道路。
事实是：下一届政府将由工党或 自由党领导。我认为应该由自由党领导 专注于基本原则并提供切实可行的解决方案 为我们面临的真正挑战提供切实可行的解决方案。这就是为什么我 这就是我放下我的商业生涯，提名参选的原因。I
在充满活力的经济体中拥有丰富的经验。我能清楚地看到澳大利亚的 问题。我也能看到，要让下一代澳大利亚人 让下一代澳大利亚人走上强大而安全的未来之路。未来。
读到这篇文章的人，如果你们正在为创造未来而承担自己的风险，我希望你们知道，我是站在你们这边的。我不会在这里沉溺于不切实际、不着边际的意识形态幻想。我将以如何帮助你们和你们的家庭实现繁荣来衡量我在政坛上的成功。
为此，我们需要一个了解现实的政府。
这对经济和国家安全来说是正确的。对于更便宜、更可靠的电力也是如此。对于可负担得起的 住房、清洁的环境，以及能够帮助那些 需要帮助的人。
我今后定期在《邮报》上发表的信息将重点关注 这些具体的现实。为什么？因为你们无法逃避现实。
无论工党及其在 怎么想象。
