Mr Motum will run on Saturday as the fourth member of the MidCoast Independents (Group B) team. “One of the core team goals… is seeking financial accountability and eliminating waste, to make your fees and ratepayer dollars go further and be used as productively as possible. “[We are committed to] upgrading our community services in the region, including vital, degrading infrastructure like roads, and promoting the health of our people with health services and modern sporting facilities, keeping everything up to the standard that we all deserve. “We are genuinely independent, and would fairly represent the whole electorate, because we know what it’s like to have our voices go unheard.”
