Carol Norton-Smith, Candidate for Ovens Valley

Carol Norton-Smith is Family First’s candidate in the Ovens Valley District. She is from Sydney originally but fell in love with rural Victoria and moved here several years ago. She is an online teacher who works with migrant medical professionals and is active in her local Catholic community.

Carol is standing because she is increasingly concerned that neither Labor nor Liberal represents traditional Judeo-Christian values, especially when it comes to protection of life. The offer of free abortions by both Labor and Liberal parties is just the latest example of this. However, it is not just the unborn that need our protection. It is also the vulnerable elderly. We have seen what happened in Canada when they legalised euthanasia – we cannot allow that to happen here.

Carol is also concerned about the spending of our tax dollars. Every state in Australia has a bloated bureaucracy, but in the last decade, Victoria has become infamous for its wastage of public money. We need a strong voice in Parliament that will defend it – it’s our money, and we need a better say in how it is used, and for what purpose.
