First of all - sorry I haven't blooged for a while - it's bloody busy running for parliament!
Having said that, I think I am making a difference. After being ignored by the major parties for an age - this week, the pork truck rolled into town.
Someone came up to me in Caloundra and said 'competition delivers - keep up the good work!'
I am desperate to win the seat of Fisher - but if all I end up doing is shaking things up, then all the hard work was worth something!
Anyway - back to the website - because (since I don't have a pork truck of my own) I need to get the message out!
If you know someone at Kilcoy or Woodford or Jimna or (hang on, I'll get the whole list)

Then please, tell them www.votecaroline.com.au
By the way - on centrebet I am down from 100's to one - to just 13... (12 per cent swing my bum!)
And finally - here's another question from my website...check out the questions answered page!
Andrea, Mooloolah October 27 2007 - what about child support?
Dear Caroline,
The issue of child support and the fairness to the partner paying. My partner earns a basic wage but to improve himself he works long hours and lots of overtime including days and weeks away only to have to pay child support on his yearly total (nearly double). His partner left him for someone else and took the children, he didnt ask for this to happen although he is willing to pay we know that the children do not get the benefit of the money. She has since married and bought a new car and a house (more than we can afford). Tell us how the child support system is fair?
Dear Andrea,
The child support system is not fair. To anyone.
Half the women I know receive absolutely nothing from their dead beat ex husbands.
The honest men I know, who submit themselves to the letter of the law, are being bled dry.
The way it works at the moment only serves to create anger and frustration between separated couples and that affects the children.
The only (relatively) happy separated parents I know, are people who work outside the system. Usually, the ex husband pays an agreed amount each month - in cash. Usually these couples have managed to remain good friends and that is what's best for the children.
I absolutely guarantee you that seeking more information about the 'so called' logic behind the current system will be one of my first ports of call. I will take your partners story and anyone else who wants to share to Canberra and together we will make them listen.
