Ambere Livori, the Pauline Hanson's One Nation party candidate for the seat of Casey, lives in the Latrobe electorate, near the border ofCasey.

"I have a great connection with the Casey Electorate and surrounding areas, my family love to walk the streets, shop, dine, camp and stay in many beautiful locations Casey has to offer," she said.

"Casey Electorate has so much to offer everyone and this is my chance to give back, I decided to run for One Nation as their policies are there to make this country better for all Australians. The issues facing my electorate reflect the broader challenges across Australia-cost ofliving, housing, and migration... what I hope to achieve for Casey is to implement our policies in a way that delivers economic relief, puts money back in people's pockets, and prioritises all Australians."

Ms Livori's background is in the automotive industry and she currently works as a mechanical fitter in construction, as well as being a new mum and wife. She said she is committed to addressing the cost of living, free speech and 'citizen-initiated referenda' (legislation and referendums proposed directly by residents), with a vision that includes tackling housing affordability, government overspending and standing up for individual rights.

"From my conversations with constituents, it's clear that the major concerns in our electorate are the rising cost of living, inflation and housing affordability. These challenges are not unique to our community-they reflect broader issues affecting Australians nationwide," she said. "One Nation is committed to tackling the cost of living crisis through a targeted and practical plan designed to deliver immediate relief to households and businesses. I believe that inflation is being driven by irresponsible government overspending, that's why One Nation is committed to cutting wasteful expenditure and delivering up to $90 billion in annual savings through efficient, targeted reforms.”

Ms Livori pointed to One Nation's promises to implement the following measures for costof-living relief:

■ Reforming National Electricity Market (NEM) rules to support affordable coal and gas-fired baseload power, while backing nuclear energy as a 'reliable, long-term solution.'

■ Halving the fuel excise to 26 cents per litre for three years, with the option to extend ■ Raising the tax-free threshold to $35,000 for self-funded retirees ■ Removing the excise on beer and spirits in licensed venues.
