NATIONALS LEADER IN COFFS HARBOUR

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack was in Coffs Harbour this afternoon to support local Cowper Candidate Pat Conahan who is up against high profile independent Rob Oakeshott.

The Nationals leader avoided questions on whether the seat was at threat.

I am not worried about other candidates I am just worried about small businesses we want to get get behind and that’s what we did in last week’s budget, we made sure it was a budget for small business.

The Deputy PM visited helicopter company Eagle Australasia which he said would benefit from last week’s budget.
