A STATEMENT BY GREG HUNT

I am both honoured and delighted to have been appointed Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Urban Water.

This new role brings together the great interests of my time in Parliament. Climate change and water security present two of the greatest challenges currently facing this nation and are subjects on which I have spent much time and energy over many years.

I believe climate change has presented the international community with an unprecedented opportunity to work together towards a common goal.  Rising to meet this global challenge will continue to require vision, inspired leadership, commitment and trust.

For Australia, much of which has been in the grip of a crippling drought for several years now, securing our water supply is absolutely fundamental to our continued growth and prosperity. Without an adequate and dependable water supply our society will cease to be fully functional.

I believe it is possible to not only meet these two important challenges but, in the process, continue to grow and prosper as a society. I will do all that I can to provide the leadership and vision needed to accomplish this.

I am also delighted to have broader responsibility for the Environment and to be working with my outstanding colleague, the Hon Dr Sharman Stone.

Thank you for visiting my website

First elected on 10 November 2001, I sought to represent Flinders because I am passionate about helping the community in which I grew up.

Over the last few years we have achieved a lot for the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port and Bass Coast/Phillip Island communities including better roads, reading and writing programs for our kids, aged care and health services and protection of our local environment and heritage.

Together we have built a healthier and stronger community but I want to do more.
