00:00How do you define Braddon politically? Perhaps even a better question is what
00:05are the keys to winning here? Well I'm not a Braddon resident so I don't want
00:12to be too presumptuous in telling the people of Braddon who they are and what
00:15they're interested in but the impression I get of Braddon, the impression I've
00:22always got of Braddon out of Tasmania more generally but particularly Northern
00:28Tasmania is that it's full of decent down-to-earth people, salt-of-the-earth
00:34people, reasonably conservative working Australians who nevertheless have a
00:43strong aspiration for a better life and that doesn't necessarily mean becoming a
00:47millionaire overnight but it does mean being able to buy a better car, move to
00:54a better house, have a better job, start your own business, make sure that your
01:01kids have the best possible start in life and hopefully down the track a better
01:06life than you do.
