Alex Hawke MP, Federal Member for Mitchell, says Australians are disappointed in the ongoing division and dysfunction that we have all seen in Canberra.
“All Australians are disappointed about what they are seeing from this government. They are only thinking about themselves and not about the issues facing families, retirees and small business people”, said Alex Hawke.
“I have had so many Labor voters tell me how disappointed they are in a government that has descended into chaos.
“As Tony Abbott has said, we are a great people, a great nation and we are being let down by a bad government that is getting worse.
“My message to the people of Mitchell is that it does not have to be this way.
“Like all the members of the Coalition team, I am focused on talking to people throughout Mitchell about our Real Solutions plan that will deliver a strong, prosperous economy and a safe, secure Australia”.
“Our plan will unleash Australia’s economic potential and create one million new jobs within five years. We will take pressure off families and abolish the carbon tax, we will help small businesses by cutting $1 billion a year in red tape and we will strengthen the economy by bringing the budget back under control.
“Our plan will help families with cost of living pressures and allow them to plan their futures with confidence.
“No matter when the election is, I will be working everyday talking to residents throughout Mitchell about the Coalition’s positive plans and how we can make our country a better place”, concluded Alex Hawke.

Alex Hawke MP, Federal Member for Mitchell, spoke in the House of Representatives this morning following the sudden death of Crowne Plaza Norwest Managing Director Minhas Zulfiqar in Karachi, Pakistan last night. Mr Zulfiqar was the victim of an aggravated robbery outside of an ATM in that city.
“Minhas Zulfiqar was a pillar of our community, a man who gave of himself for the betterment of all those in our community. Minhas was very generous when it came to community service and worthy causes,”
“Getting to know him personally, he was a warm and peaceful person who was a standard bearer for successful migration from Pakistan to Australia, founding a business, becoming an owner of some prominent hotels in Sydney including the Crowne Plaza Norwest,”
“It was also an institution that he used to successfully fundraise for many charities and do much good for our community. Whether that be the Inala Cherrybrook facility for the disabled community, the flood relief, fundraisers for Pakistan, the Norwest Crowne Plaza hotel was always at the forefront of worthy fundraising and initiatives to do good for our community,”
“This is a great tragedy and I know I speak for all in the Mitchell community when I offer our sincere condolences to his wife Razia, his sons and his extended family.” Alex Hawke said.
