“As part of Dominic Perrottet’s Liberal team, I will be a strong voice for Port Stephens, while ensuring the people of Port Stephens have the schools, hospitals, and important amenities we need to continue to be a growing, thriving and pristine region,” Mr Errington said.

High on his list of agendas is tackling the cost of living crisis gripping families across the region.

“As a father of five, I understand the pressures facing young families in Port Stephens, and know that only the Perrottet Government has the experience and the vision to tackle cost of living pressures facing everyday families and keep NSW moving forward,” Mr Errington said.

Currently working in retail as an assistant manager, Mr Errington has previously held positions as a sales manager and store manager, and as a business operator across a number of different industries.

Mr Errington was the President of the Hamilton Business Chamber from 2014 until 2019, and has been involved in local sport committees; including as Secretary of the Lower Hunter Rugby League Association.

News Of The Area asked the NSW Liberal Party why the candidacy announcement was made so late, however they declined to comment.
