With some justification Janelle Saffin beats her own drum in the Page electorate


Federal Labor MP Janelle Saffin is known locally as one politician who has managed to attract money to the NSW North Coast and, she has recently sent out a campaign leaflet which outlines funding she has secured for the Page electorate over the last three years totalling almost $783 million - for everything from health and community infrastructure/services to roads and flood mitigation. That is in addition to the cash payments received by individuals/families and the school building program that came into the region courtesy of the Federal Government's GFC economic stimulus policy.

Here is a breakdown by area:

Alstonville/Woollongbar - $91 million

Ballina - $532.3 million

Casino - $5.9 million

Evans Head - $3.8 million

Grafton/South Grafton - $43.4 million

Iluka/Woombah - $291,897
