Due to my successful fitness enterprises, I have been recognised nationally through the Prime Minister’s Centenary Medal for Service to the community through Health & Fitness. I know what creates happy and healthy communities and I also know full well what crushes them!
I GREW UP IN ELWICK WHERE I STILL LIVE… I KNOW THIS PLACE AND ITS PEOPLE WELL.
WHY IS RICK STANDING FOR ELECTION?
HE SAYS
Like most Tasmanians I’m a hands on ‘can do’ type of person with a common-sense approach to life’s challenges. This is in contrast with our current political establishment which seems stuck in a ‘CAN’T DO’ rut, unable to make a decision, instead focussed on putting barriers in people’s way and sapping the motivation of anyone trying to have a go! I have had enough and am determined to put a hand-brake on red and green tape and change the way our Parliament and Public Service works….and insist they work for us, instead of against us!
