Liberal candidate for Bradfield, Paul Fletcher today offered his congratulations and thanks to Dr Brendan Nelson for his stellar record of accomplishment for the people of Bradfield and the people of Australia.

This follows Brendan Nelson tendering his letter of resignation from the Federal Parliament today.

“In the last few weeks as I have been campaigning with Brendan I have been struck by the genuine warmth and good feeling for him in the Bradfield community.

“Whether standing on railway stations with him early in the morning or attending community events of all kinds, I have had the opportunity to see at first hand that the people of Bradfield want to thank Brendan for a job well done.”

“I want to join my voice with the rest of Bradfield to say to Brendan: Job well done, mate!”

“I hope to have the opportunity to carry on Brendan’s good service and be a strong advocate for the local community.”

“While no date has yet been set for the by-election, our campaign is well underway, with the opening of our Campaign Office at 315 Pacific Highway, Lindfield.”

“It’s in a great location just near Lindfield Station.  So I encourage people to visit the office to discuss the issues which are important to them.”

“I have been encouraged by the number of residents returning my community survey as well as completing it on-line at wwwliberalsforbradfield.com.au.”

“I want to urge everyone in Bradfield to use the survey to let me know of the issues which are of concern to them.”

“This information is vital to me as I prepare to succeed Brendan Nelson.”

“For thirteen years the people of Bradfield have received great representation from Brendan – I am determined to continue in the tradition which Brendan has established.

“Just as Brendan has been, I am determined to be a strong Liberal voice for Bradfield.”
