Bev Craig: “As Mayor every decision will be about making life cheaper and easier for us all”

The generational belief that we had, that if you work hard and do the right thing, your life will be better and the life of the community will be better, is something that many people just don’t feel at the minute.

So it's absolutely fantastic that in two weeks since becoming prime minister, he's coming good on his long-standing beliefs around power and control.

I never believed as a girl growing up on a council estate that one day I would have the chance to stand for the place that I love.

So, the hard work begins. I’ve done it with a promise and a plan, and my promise to you is that I will leave this city region better.
