   Sam Birrell - A New Dawn for Nicholls #049

   A New Dawn for Nicholls with Sam Birrell Join our today’s episode with Sam Birrell, Australia’s National Party candidate for the seat of Nicholls. Sam was raised in an Australian countryside town between towns Murchison and Toolamba, on the banks of the Goulburn River, with his three sisters. His mother worked as a teacher at Shepparton High School, while his father was a lawyer. In his words, Sam says, “I love this region, and am very proud to live, work and raise a family here. Many people would say that I never miss an opportunity to talk the place up. I want to be the MP for Nicholls because I want to see everyone here do well, with great educational and economic opportunities and pathways into the career of their choice. I want to ensure people are looked after by the government, especially those who are marginalised, while at the same time making certain that Australia continues to be one of the best-governed countries in the world. After all I have seen and learned, I am convinced that a locally engaged National Party member in a coalition government is the best way to achieve this.” Tune in!
