Carbon Credit Trading internationally and continued Managed Investment Schemes for forestry will be a toxic policy combination for food production and regional communities.

$500 million is chicken feed! And now we have toxic policy combinations to boot. There are no caps and no controls. This is a wolf’s policy in sheep’s clothing!

If elected to represent the people of Wannon I would work to return passenger rail to Stawell, Hamilton, Heywood and Portland.

Think Big. Be Brave. Vote Independent One Rainsford August 21.

Independent for Wannon Katrina Rainsford, an experienced Shire councillor, is calling for VicRoads to be split into Metro and Country funding streams. Who is running our roads now?  Not us.

Communities and councils need to be heard and what we’ve got now is not working. Split the funding and make VicRoads more transparent and accountable..........

Pest management support proposal.
 
If elected I will be advocating a Federal Fox Bounty. Foxes know no borders.

Locusts are currently the biggest issue affecting our flora, grain and livestock feed production. This is a pest which knows no borders.

Independent for Wannon Katrina Rainsford doesn’t think voters will settle for the chicken feed funding being offered by Liberal candidate in the race for Wannon.

My pledge is to seek $ 1 Billion in the next term and will talk to all parties to bring more funding to Wannon.

Placing ONE next to RAINSFORD, Katrina INDEPENDENT will be the first time many people have voted for an Independent in Wannon.   I am not a party import.

Welcome to the LOCALS FIGHT BACK campaign, and chance for YOU to take control back over YOUR representation in Federal Parliament.

My name is Katrina Rainsford. I am one of you - a local mother, business person, vet, farmer and local councillor.

I have lived and worked for Western Victoria for fifty years.

This campaign is not about me - it is about you and what you want for Wannon.

With your help I can help you, and get the best deal for Wannon.

Yes, I was a member of the Victorian Liberal Party for thirteen years. Encouraged to get involved when my interest in how we were being managed (or mismanaged ) was sparked in 1995 after surviving the rural recession of the early 90's.

Four children, a farm and veterinary practice, I started driving, meeting, marching, writing and calling people to try to save our rural communities from death by mismanagement.

Today we are all worried more about Climate Change Policy that could get us before Climate Change does the job!

Now in Wannon we are facing another 25 years of the same if we support the contempt shown for the electorate by shoe horning in someone from outside the seat.

Being a Minister is not what drives me - being your representative is my goal.

This site is under development and will be a chance for you to get involved and be part of the LOCALS FIGHT BACK campaign.

On Water, Roads, Rail, Farming, Forestry, Education, Aged Care and Health.

With your help - we can have a better future.

I am looking forward to meeting you and hearing from locals on what they want from their local member.

Cheers
Katrina
