We say what we mean and mean what we say. Unfortunately most Australians have lost confidence in our current politicians because they don’t keep their word and commitments to the people”.  Melanie is also passionate about protecting and preserving Australian freedoms, culture, land, infrastructure and way of life for generations to come. She honours our forefathers for their sacrificial service, fighting for the liberties, currently in Australia and would like to see all our children and grandchildren enjoying the same freedoms and privileges that are in place in this great country.
