[00:00:04] Speaker A: A bit of a dell there on Thursday morning, aren't we? Debbie's still here. And look, Debbie's. She's just scoffing on a milk coffee biscuit.
[00:00:13] Speaker B: I caught me.
[00:00:15] Speaker A: And we've just had Rhian from the. The Greens.
The local representative for the Greens in the upcoming by election is Secret harbor. And we're trying to get all the candidates in and we have. And it's really hard. It's really easy for me now because not only have I seen his post with the Rockingham Rams Football Club, and even if I did forget his name, he's got it proudly on his jacket there. Ryan Robertson, Good morning.
[00:00:42] Speaker C: Good morning. And good morning to your listeners. Thanks so much for having me.
[00:00:45] Speaker A: That's great.
Okay. I asked the same question, Rick.
Why?
[00:00:51] Speaker C: Why? Great question. And I think it's pretty similar sentiments across all of Secret harbor is because no one's listening. And that's why I'm here. I'm here to listen to work hard and to deliver for the people of Secret Harbour. That's. That's my goal.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: What do you, what do you see as the major issue for people in.
Because you, you live relatively local, what do you see as the major issue there, Ryan?
[00:01:22] Speaker C: I think everyone's struggling in their own right, whether it's from a financial cost, you know, at the Bowser, whether it's shopping, food, we all, none of us are exempt from that cost of living pressure.
But then also infrastructure, and I know it's a throwaway word for politicians, but if you look at north of the electorate and south of the electorate, you've actually got quite a significant investment of services to those that live in those areas. But then you come down to Secret Harbour and Rockingham falls into this as well.
You just don't see it. And there's lots of promises, there's lots of, you know, virtue signaling if you, if, if you like, but there's really no delivery on it. And that's what I really want to push on. And typically in a safe seat, money doesn't get put towards those, those areas because why would it be right? If something's working, why change it? And for too long now, the. This government, this, this, this Cook labor government has just had the monopoly and why would you invest? So I want to challenge that. I want to be able to show them that we are here, we are affected and we want some support.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: Your.
You did tell us how fair that you're a proud father of street.
They get looking younger all the time to me.
Right. Looks about 2420.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: Well, I shaved this morning, right.
My wife, my wife said, oh, right, Ryan, please don't shave, you look too young.
But I just can't help it. Like, you know, 12 years in Navy, if I don't shave in the morning, I really feel like a bit, I feel like I haven't showered, if that makes sense.
But yeah, it doesn't help because sometimes people often say, oh, he's not even old enough to wipe his bum, you know, so. But no, I try and grow it out sometimes but my comfort zone is if I shave it, I feel like I'm ready for the day.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Well, so I just wanted to pick up something you said there. 12 years in the navy.
[00:03:24] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right, mate. So joined at 7 or just 18 actually by 10 days. Grew up in Melbourne, joined the navy.
At the start it was as a bosun's mate. I, I was watching this show at the time called Sea Patrol and I really liked it. I thought, oh, I could really do that for a job. So I went onto the Defence Force recruiting website and had a look at the jobs and I found Bosun's Mate and you know that they sold it really well. You were jumping out of helicopters and you know, small, small firearms specialists and I thought, oh, this is great. And I signed up and it wasn't quite what they said on the, on the, on the advert, but still good experience. And then it wasn't until I was in that I was, I was sort of questioning like, what do submarines do? I'm really interested. And the more you ask that question, the less information you got because it's, they call it the Secret Service for a reason.
You. Everything that a submarine does is very covert.
There's no medals, there's no accolades. Once you dive and go beneath the surface, it's not until you return that you realize that the submarine's been gone for quite some time. And that was fascinating to me. So then I put my application in 2010 and yeah, took about three and a half years to get qualified to be a submariner. Yeah, it takes quite a while each hall. No, I'm not 176 centimeters. So probably quite sure it's, it's quite
[00:04:45] Speaker B: nice and tall, but it's not like six footed.
[00:04:47] Speaker C: No, no, I, I, which would help. I used to say that I'm the perfect height for a submariner.
[00:04:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:52] Speaker C: Because my head would just touch the bulkhead just with my hair.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:04:57] Speaker C: But yeah, so anyway, I did that, mate, and oh, it was what a career. It was it took me to places that I would never imagine. I got to work with some of the greatest people and still very close friends.
And, you know, it's not often that someone can say that they've. They've worked on a submarine, let alone, you know, gone away and especially for the.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: That span of your 20s, I guess. Through your 20s. Yeah. Did you get good amount of time off?
[00:05:22] Speaker C: Not really.
[00:05:24] Speaker B: Yeah, you get some sunshine and.
[00:05:26] Speaker C: Well, I often have a joke is that I've seen the world, but I haven't. I've seen the water of the world, you know, I haven't really seen a great deal. I've seen a lot of. Underneath the water.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:35] Speaker C: Not, not, not.
Because when you get alongside, you've still got to work. It's not like you'll do, you know, a couple of months away and then you'll pull alongside and you. It's respite. The submarine still needs people to operate it. Yes. So, yeah, you might be at sea for however long and then get alongside and then you might be duty the next day.
So, yeah, it's, it's, it's. There's a lot of work.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: Did it curtail your 20s social life?
[00:06:01] Speaker C: I think it made me think.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: It's got to do with your election coming. No, but I'm interested as.
[00:06:06] Speaker C: Yeah, I think it. I. I think it shaped me better to make me appreciate things better. So when I did come alongside, like, you know, just simple things like being with my wife or was my girlfriend at the time, we would never really. I actually think I'd have to ask Chiara this, but I think for our first sort of five, six years of our relationship, we'd only spent maybe a maximum of two months together.
[00:06:28] Speaker B: And then that's a perfect courtship, isn't it?
[00:06:31] Speaker C: It's so funny, right, because my wife said to me, she goes, you know, Ryan, this, this, this navy thing's getting a bit much. You're always going away, you know, I think it's time to come home. And then my wife fell pregnant and
[00:06:44] Speaker B: then it's definitely time to come home.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:45] Speaker C: And it was funny. So all this time in Navy, she was like, ryan, you need to come home. You need to come home. And then I, I left Navy. And then she's like, ah, yeah, I just want to miss you again,
[00:06:59] Speaker A: So.
[00:06:59] Speaker C: Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: That's true.
So you're about 30 now?
[00:07:05] Speaker C: 35. 35, yeah, I know. I get gray hairs, receding hairline. It's not looking good for me.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: What what's your job now?
[00:07:14] Speaker C: Yeah, so currently I run a small consultant in business and I also sell property. I work for Multiplier Property Group. They're a West Australian family and we run.
[00:07:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:24] Speaker C: Subdivision sales buyer's agency in this locality.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: In the Rockingham locality. Yeah.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:31] Speaker B: And you're called to civic duty, right? You know, as in your counsellor at 35.
[00:07:37] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: And that can be quite, quite a commitment.
[00:07:41] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Well, it's. I think if I didn't work in real estate, it'd be quite challenging to fulfill the duties of a councillor.
[00:07:48] Speaker B: Being flexible.
[00:07:49] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely. And there's a lot of, it's a lot of after hours work which then with a, you know, family, three kids
[00:07:55] Speaker B: and a wife, you're busy, you're a busy boy.
[00:07:58] Speaker C: Very busy. Yeah. So trying to juggle that is, is difficult. But I think if I can help the community, which I've always been a big fan of doing. And like you mentioned before, you see me down the Rocco Rams, I'm. I'm a sponsor of many clubs because I've got a genuine passion for supporting community sports. And you know, I had a lot of support growing up as a kid, so.
[00:08:16] Speaker B: In Melbourne.
[00:08:17] Speaker C: In Melbourne, yeah. So if I could, if I can share that same, you know, I guess return that favor that was given to me through support.
[00:08:25] Speaker B: And what brings you to, to this locality? Your Kiara, or. That's right.
[00:08:30] Speaker C: Well, initially it was navy.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:34] Speaker C: Because submarines are only based out of Western Australia.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: Yeah. In naval base, I guess.
[00:08:37] Speaker C: Yeah. HMA Sterling.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: Right.
[00:08:38] Speaker C: So I lived on HMA Sterling for a bit and I, funny enough, I met Kiara pretty much, you know, as soon as I got here at the Swinging Pig, funny enough.
[00:08:46] Speaker A: Oh, there you go.
[00:08:47] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I met my wife at the Swinging Pig and yeah, we've, We've, you know, been together ever since. I've been in to show you.
Yeah. I love it here.
[00:08:55] Speaker B: Well, we're lucky to have you here.
[00:08:57] Speaker A: Yeah, it is, it's a, it's still a hidden secret. Rockingham, without a doubt. It's, you know, like it used to be a holiday place and now because it's a strange thing the.
Just as you grow like, and the suburbs grow.
[00:09:16] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:09:17] Speaker A: It's always been the same distance from the city but now with the suburbs, like Secret harbor and that going further, further out, people think it's actually closer than it ever was, but it's the same distance.
[00:09:27] Speaker C: Well, I remember when I first moved here, mate, driving down because we used to surf in Secret Harbour.
[00:09:31] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:09:32] Speaker C: Anyway, so the boys and I would leave base.
We had Red Red Wine. Who sings that song? Red red wine, UB40 on the. That was our song. So we, we would, we would listen to this. In the summer we would go surfing and after surfing we'd get some KFC and come home. It was just like, was just, it was just felt so good. Like, you know, in your 20s, you know, you feel like you've got all this freedom in the world.
[00:09:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:52] Speaker C: And driving down to Secret Harbor. But I remember that drive. It's quite, you know, there was a lot of bushland. There wasn't much there. Lakelands wasn't there. And you go down there now, it's
[00:10:00] Speaker A: unbelievable is because you obviously go down the. The main drag and this avenue or whatever it is.
[00:10:06] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:10:07] Speaker A: And if you ever go to the left past the shops, it's just like a whole new world, isn't it?
[00:10:13] Speaker C: It's unbelievable.
[00:10:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:14] Speaker C: Yeah, it's beautiful.
[00:10:15] Speaker B: My mum lives in Meadow Springs.
[00:10:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:17] Speaker B: And that is just grown and growing.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: Yeah. So much so.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: We had some questions and we'll just fire them at them.
[00:10:27] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:10:28] Speaker A: Or for. On the first one. Will motorboats be banned in the state controlled Shorewater Marine Sanctuary to minimize the penguin strikes? There are less than 97 individual penguins on the island.
[00:10:42] Speaker C: Yeah. We've been hearing this a lot through the local government forum. I haven't heard much about this at the state level, especially through my door knocking and speaking to the community.
[00:10:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:54] Speaker C: So I don't really have an answer, to be honest.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: Look, that's better than spinning a whole lot of.
[00:10:59] Speaker C: Well, look, one thing we, I was taught from a very young age was that if you don't know something, you say it and then, you know, you can go maybe find out. But yeah, I'm not going to sit here and have the answers because I don't.
[00:11:11] Speaker A: I mean, I think, I think everybody cares about it, but it's one of those things, isn't it? There's.
I think personally it's a very important thing for Rockingham or the area around it. But there's so many other things that people are concerned about with the homelessness and cost of living. That tends to push that down the latter, unfortunately. But that's the way it is.
[00:11:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, I mean everyone has, and rightfully so, their own conflicting priorities.
But in this instance, I. I don't have really much more I can give you on that. I don't know, mate.
[00:11:46] Speaker A: The next one. What can be done to improve mental health in the area? What are some of your thoughts on 18 hour, 24 hour GP type clinic in Secret harbor to take.
To take some emergency off Rockingham Hospital? Yeah.
[00:12:05] Speaker C: So the GP clinics is. It's a federal issue, but the problem with, you know, state government is that they've had 10 years and plenty of money to, you know, to really get into this from a mental health side.
I've got lived experience with mental health. When I left Navy, I wasn't in a very good way and I'm very open and honest about it. It's, you know, mental health is such a strange thing because we all feel like we're immune to it until it's got us. And then when it's got you, it's. It's a different. It's a different ball.
I remember sometimes might not even being able to get out of bed because I just wasn't fit enough to be able to deal with what was about to hit me for the day. And it come out of nowhere, mate. It come out of nowhere. So, look, I'm a strong advocate. I work closely with a lot of veterans, and I am more than willing to be vulnerable about the topic of mental health because I think that that's the biggest challenge with anyone that might be suffering personally is that you're not alone. There is plenty of us that are ready to wrap our arms around you and give you that support.
It's okay and it will be okay. You just have to keep pressing forward.
Think about tomorrow and everyone around you. They love you and they care for you.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: Oh, it's very.
Isn't it going. See, we sit here, Debbie, and we have a bright, enthusiastic, intelligent person in front of us as Ryan.
Now, I would say in my head, there would be one, that would be one person who never suffered mental health. Just the way he, you know, way he presents.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: So it shows you how hidden it can be.
[00:13:46] Speaker B: Well, look how vulnerable we are as well, of course.
[00:13:49] Speaker C: Yeah. None of us, none of us are immune for any of this. And, you know, and if we look at the homelessness crisis as well happening on Memorial Drive, I'm under no illusion that I'm only one poor financial decision or one bill that comes, that that destiny is not mine, you know, so, you know, this sort of winds me up a little bit, right, because it gets politicized a little bit.
But what's, what's crazy is that we have so much money to spend on other things and then that money is quickly diverted. But then when we want to sort of create some sort of political show about something, you know, that's people. They're people, you know, so. Yeah, look, it's tough.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: Can I ask you what led you to become a liberal?
[00:14:36] Speaker C: Yeah, I've got a real liberal background from my dad. My dad was a small business owner, mechanic, My mum a bartender.
[00:14:43] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:14:44] Speaker C: And, you know, we've always lived by the. The philosophy of government should get in, do what they should do, and get out, get out of the way. And what. What, that. What, what, like the what. The core message to that is government's responsibility is to support its constituents, give them all the resources in abundance that they need to live a prosperous life. That's my view.
Outside of that, allow people and encourage people to give them the opportunity to live a good life if they can generate wealth and work hard, keep that wealth.
Don't tax everything.
There's a great saying that I heard, and I can't remember who said it, but if we're going to pass another law, remove an old one, just this.
[00:15:33] Speaker B: This.
[00:15:33] Speaker C: We're just constantly, always just doing more and more things that are making things more difficult. More difficult. More difficult. Let's get back to basics. Focus on the things that matter and help the people in our community and get out of the way.
[00:15:49] Speaker A: Here we go. Your thoughts? This is sort of like a. Yeah, I didn't write for all those people out there in Listenerland.
This is not a loaded question. Just because Ryan spent a number of years in the Navy. This is not a loaded question, but it was sent in by a listener. What are your thoughts on Orcus?
[00:16:10] Speaker C: Okay. Well, I always like to counter this question with what part of Orcus?
Because that's a good question. Well, there's a few parts, right? There's the delivery of nuclear propulsion submarines. There's quantum computing with Pillar two. There's. There's shared technologies, there's shared intelligence. There's. There's. There's. There's a vast question. Yeah, there's a vast thing. Talkers. But I think if I read into the question correctly, we're talking submarines. And look, I'm a big supporter of Orcus, and I think it's.
I know I'm saying it from a perspective of national security, and I know this deeply, and I know the. What Collins gives to the Australian Defence Force is. Is. Is good, but it's aging, and we need to look into the future on how we best protect the national interests of Australia.
It is. It is my view that we should have a lethal, formidable, fighting submarine force that is ready at a moment's notice to deploy to protect the interests of Australia.
There is two straits that come to Australia, typically is the Malacca Strait and the Sunda Strait. A lot of our trade comes via sea transportation and we're in nations surrounded by water.
There are a few vulnerabilities, although we don't have neighbouring countries like you see in Europe. But what we do have is a vast amount of water that surrounds us that needs to be protected to ensure that we're not put in a situation where we might find in other places of the world right now where tariffs and strongholds can be put on major trade routes and that will cripple the economy of Australia.
We are limited in our supplies, in fuel, we are limited in resources that we have because we are heavily reliant on imports and exports.
So it is my view that having a force that can be deployed and act as a deterrent to any adversary that wishes to do harm to the national security or to the people of this great nation, then we should have that ability to be able to defend ourselves and to defend the best interests of all Australians.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: That's very well said.
Wow. We had just as an aside on this topic, I've had, I've had Mark Schneider from his ubh.
[00:18:27] Speaker C: Yeah, dunno. Mark, Very good guy. Do you, yeah, just. Yeah.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: Jesus. Nearest Mark.
[00:18:31] Speaker C: Well, he's a nuclear engineer. He's got over 20 odd years of experience, experience within the nuclear industry. He's, he's really good. And the great thing I like about Mark is that he is apolitical. He's not, he never comes on any radio station, you know, podcast, whatever it might be. He's not talking politics, he's talking facts.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: And it's interesting.
[00:18:51] Speaker C: It is interesting, mate, because this is all new to us, right? So yeah, we can totally understand how there's concerns around it because you know, when you say nuclear, what's the first thing someone thinks of? Chernobyl. They think nuclear disasters, they think of nuclear war. We're talking in Orcas, we're talking specifically about a propulsion train that is nuclear powered.
You know, one charge, you've got 35 years of fuel. Yeah, 35 years. That's unbelievable. But not just that. The difference between a nuclear submarine, a nuclear powered submarine and a diesel conventional submarine is that you're limited in speed, fuel and duration, where the only limiting factor for a nuclear powered submarine is food.
They can say they can stay at Sea for 35 years if they wanted to. You know, God forbid if you're a crew member on that. No, I'd be 70 by the time I come home, you know, and then you've got to look at that from an operational side. So a conventional submarine has to come up to periscope depth. It has to raise its mass of periscopes to start the diesel engine so it can suck up air from the atmosphere into the boat to charge the generators. The generators then charge the batteries. The batteries then provide power to the main motor. And the main motor is what gives you propulsion.
Well, to do that, that periscope depth, you have to be taking things into account. Sea state, wind direction, waves, you know, is there any airborne targets that are on station that might be trying to look for you from a visual detection point of view? As soon as the master periscope's up, you've now got a radar cross section. So there's a lot of vulnerabilities that come with trying to remain undetected, which the sole purpose of a submarine.
And then you put in, you know, MPAs or, you know, drones that it, it makes it really difficult for us to achieve the aim. Plus, like a phone, if the more you use it, the more the battery drains. So if we need to get somewhere quickly and we need to go fast, that's putting a lot of pressure on the batteries because I'm draining how much energy all of a sudden now I need to stay at periscope depth. Well, if I'm discharging more than I'm charging. Well, now I've got to stay at periscope depth. If the weather's no good, you know, it's, there's so many factors. You give us a nuclear propulsion, I have infinity speed, I have infinity fuel, and I can get to where I need to be quickly. And that's good.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: Well, it's interesting, isn't it?
The final question that we had, will the candidates take homelessness seriously and provide housing together with a mentor to each person to offer support?
[00:21:29] Speaker C: Yeah, very, very good question, but a hard one to answer. So what we need to focus on is that these are people, these are people that need help and they're vulnerable.
We need to take this seriously. Do I have all the answers for you right now? No, I don't. But what I can say is that we do have a current government with a lot of cash that could be utilizing and directing resources that way, and they're not.
We need to take this seriously. We need to get a look after these people because it's disgusting. I, I, I was, I was down there with my kids the other day, obviously not trying to make it a, you Know, a political stunt. So it was just me and my kids and we, we went for a drive and I said, look girls, like this is, this is, this is so real. This has exists in our backyard. So you know, when we go home and have dinner tonight and we've got the heater on, you know, here's an example of how these four people are living. It actually, it upsets me, mate. I went down there again this morning and I counted 52 individual sides. 52, 52, 52 individual sides.
And that's, it's increasing.
I don't have the answer for you.
I don't, I don't have the, I don't have the power.
But hey, I tell you what, as long as I've got a voice, I'll continue to fight.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: It's a, it was a bit of a, a double edged sword. We had somebody, we ran about a month of talking about this homelessness subject with everybody from Brad Petit, he's done a lot of good work in Fremantle and that and which is great, but them and a whole lot of ad figures here, there.
And what I found strange is there Rockingham has one of the largest amounts of homelessness in the state.
But people come here because there are a lot of services, right, for homelessness. So they actually so bees to a, you know, you know, so it, it is a catch 22, isn't it? You want to provide more services but then you'll get more homelessness. So it's like where do we get that? Where is the circuit breaker for that?
[00:23:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: Oh, it's interesting. So where Ryan, if I think we just about, we. Yeah, just about the same time as we gave the other candidates. So a couple of things. A. How do we contact Ryan Robertson? Yeah, if we want to.
People want to ask questions.
[00:24:07] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Have you got it sounds like a tour date.
You've got any tour dates now? You got any places like some people go to shopping centers.
[00:24:15] Speaker C: Well, mate, tomorrow I'll be down at Chalk and Bees, which is a awesome little cafe down in Maduro Bay. I'll be there from 9 o' clock tomorrow if anyone wants to come down and ask any questions. Yeah, mate, I'll be. The rest of today I'll be down in Secret harbor door knocking, speaking to people. I did it for four hours yesterday and we're going to try and get at least six hours in today.
And mate, we'll be just doing that across the, the whole electorate will be.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: Do you have a team? A team of you?
[00:24:44] Speaker C: No, it's me, it's just me at the moment.
[00:24:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:46] Speaker C: I've obviously got a team supporting me and I'll have a few special guests coming with me on the doors. But this is very much a Ryan led forward facing movement, if you'd like. But I've got a very strong team behind me and a lot of support
[00:25:02] Speaker B: and a lot of people your age.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: Younger people from the constituent.
[00:25:09] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, we've got, we've got an enormous amount of support and a lot of people reaching out too. But, you know, we've all got jobs.
I've got. I'm trying to run a business and run a, run a campaign at the same time at Doorknock. So, yeah, you know, it's. I don't have the beauty of just taking six weeks off work.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: Well, it's a big six weeks, isn't
[00:25:29] Speaker C: it, coming up against the feet. But no, yeah, it's.
It's where we're gonna. I said this to someone the other day. I don't believe there's going to be any candidate in West Australian history that's going to cover more electoral ground than I am.
I'm. I'm here to work, I'm here to listen and I. I genuinely want to deliver for the people of Secret Harbour because it's something that I feel like for far too long now, this hasn't happened. You know, Carnap train station's a perfect example. I was at Lakelands train station yesterday picking up a friend and if anyone's been there, there's hardly any parking. And then if you miss, if you're unfortunate, you miss the parking at Lakelands, you drive to Warnborough, but if it's after 7, there's no parking and then you've got to get onto the Kwinana Freeway and sit there.
You know, it's really, really challenging and things need to change and the only way we make that change is by stepping up to this current government and showing them that we are sick of being ignored and it's time that we start pushing back and getting the resources and infrastructure that this community deserves.
[00:26:29] Speaker A: Just a quick question before we go. You've done door knocking, I think four hours yesterday.
[00:26:34] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:35] Speaker A: Have you got any feedback of the.
The major complaint form of a better word, major concern that people have?
[00:26:44] Speaker C: Yeah, they're frustrated, they're sick of being ignored. That, that is what I'm hearing door after door after door is that they're frustrated with feeling like they're the.
The second cousin in a relationship. It's that we're not getting anything that this community deserves. And it's evident.
[00:27:01] Speaker A: Go.
[00:27:01] Speaker C: Go down there. Yeah, go down there. It's. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to be able to see that this has been such a safe seat for so long. And the only way we change that is by letting the Cook labor government know that we're here, we're ready to work and we're going to fight for the people of Secret Harbour.
[00:27:17] Speaker A: And if people want to contact you, Ryan.
[00:27:19] Speaker C: Yeah mate. So my email ryan
[email protected] Ryan for Secret harbor as my handle on social media. Yeah, feel free, reach out. My number is actually publicly available because I'm a real estate consultant, so that's not ideal.
But yeah, feel free, reach out. I want to hear from you. You know, this is, this is not.
I don't want to just be doing media controlled setups. If you see me in the street, say hello. I'd love to hear from you. I might not have all the answers, but hey, I'm here, I'm listening and I'm ready to work.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: Okay, thanks for your time, Ryan.
[00:27:57] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:27:57] Speaker A: Have a great best luck be door knocking this afternoon.

[00:28:04] Speaker C: All right, buddy, thanks.
