  • This country has so much potential. By focusing on the needs of Australians, we can secure a better future for everyone.

    Arnon Wither is a dedicated family man, proud Australian, and passionate advocate for the hardworking people of Paterson. With a strong Christian faith and a career spanning construction, factory work, and management, Arnon embodies the resilience, integrity, and common sense that have built this great nation.

    Arnon has witnessed firsthand the pressures families face in today’s economy. “Rising costs, unaffordable housing, and out-of-touch politicians are the concerns I hear every day,” Arnon says. “Australians deserve leaders who understand their struggles and fight for practical solutions.”

    Addressing the housing crisis is a priority for Arnon, who supports a net-zero migration policy to alleviate pressure on housing and infrastructure. “Unchecked population growth is driving up housing costs and stretching our infrastructure. We must focus on building a sustainable future that puts Australians first,” he explains.

    Arnon also champions investing in jobs and skills, proudly backing One Nation’s apprenticeship scheme, which offers wage subsidies to first-year apprentices and beyond, building a skilled, homegrown workforce. He supports critical infrastructure projects in water, rail, roads, and energy to create long-term employment opportunities and strengthen regional economies.

    Energy affordability is central to Arnon’s vision for Paterson. “Australia contributes just 1% of global emissions, yet families and industries are bearing the burden of unrealistic net-zero policies,” he says. “We need to utilise our abundant natural resources to deliver affordable, reliable energy.”

    Arnon opposes the casualisation of the workforce and is committed to securing full-time employment opportunities to build stability for families and communities. “Australia thrives when we invest in our people and create secure, prosperous communities,” he says.

    Determined to bring common sense back to politics, Arnon Wither is ready to fight for policies that prioritise Australians. “This country has so much potential. By focusing on the needs of Australians, we can secure a better future for everyone.”

  • My goal, in line with One Nation’s vision, is to ensure that Groom becomes a safe, healthy, and prosperous community where individuals and families thrive.

    Rebecca Konz is proud to represent Pauline Hanson’s One Nation as the candidate for Groom.

High energy prices, rising fuel costs, and soaring grocery bills are issues she is committed to tackling, aligning with One Nation’s goal of creating affordability for Australian households. “When families can afford the basics, it reduces stress and creates a more stable environment for children,” Rebecca explains.
